Teardrops of Roses [Completed]

Note

If you're just here to read, please skip this note :) 

TLDR; I stopped writing this book for 4 years because I couldn't come to terms with the ending.

2018 UPDATE

Thank you for all those that gave such wonderful suggestions. It's been really incredible to see so many offering their time and ideas. 

Sorry if I am unable to respond to many of you, I have received hundreds of comments and messages over the years and I have read them all. I wish there was a 'like comment' button so I could show you guys I've acknowledged it. 

I have added parts of the original notes into the prologue of the book and I think after all these years I have some sort of resolution to this story. Therefore I won't be actively seeking ideas anymore, but I want to leave the original note up and not delete it because it would mean deleting everybody's comments which they took time and effort in commenting to help the story. Honestly, I also don't want to loose the comments of those who have returned after years as they are just special to me.  Perhaps in the future, I might get rid of this section so that it is more seamless for future reads. As for now, if you are new reader... please disregard this post. 

Thank you so much again. I know so many of you guys have absolutely love the story and I seriously have no idea why most of you do like it so much lol!

Original Note from 2014:

Truth be told, I'm not sure how to really continue this story. 

I started it in 2010 when I was 15 and naive. For the last couple of years I have come to really be almost burdened by it. I realise that the whole central backbone of the story (themes of rape) dealing with the issue of rape is definitely not something to be taken lightly or even romanticized. 

That's why I keep pausing the book, then coming back, and then always trying to change certain aspects of the story so that it the implications aren't so twisted in nature (i.e. if Rose falls in love with her rapist). The reason is that I absolutely do not condone this sort of idea at all and quite frankly do not want to continue writing this story if that's the outcome. I think I set myself a huge bottomless grave all those years ago beginning this project when I didn't even have a solid story at all. 

I understand that there are some fans of this story who would like for me to continue, and so if I may, I'd like to please call for everyone to perhaps help me with the plot and sorting out the issues that I am wary about. So if you'd like to give some input, please offer some suggestion for what is to happen in the future of the story, it would be much appreciated! 

I know I keep saying it but to those that are still here even after all these years, thank you so much. I hope that this time, I would be able to finish the story! (Albeit, I'm still really busy with my everyday projects and so the uploads aren't going to be as regular as I like). 

Thank you for reading.
