But I don't think anything you'd have said about her was out of line.
Have you met me?
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If the stuff was true and earned, Allyson, she doesn't get a pass because she died. A footnote, perhaps, but not a pass.
Well, I do have the MiracleFoam spray (can? I was looking for a trigger pump or aerosol, not a can--maybe that's why I missed it--I've only used the trigger pump Scrubbing Bubbles before), so I will be testing that on its own.

I think I'm just wondering that if my book gets published, the dozens of readers who buy it will read this story and...the way she will be remembered is a crazyass nutjob lying sack of shit.
It makes me sad.

Was she a crazyass nutjob lying sack of shit? If not, you should edit without regard to her death.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(can? I was looking for a trigger pump or aerosol, not a can--maybe that's why I missed it--I've only used the trigger pump Scrubbing Bubbles before)Can. Trust me on this.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
ita beat me to it.
Allyson, I don't know you and I'm unfamiliar with your writing. But if the stuff is true and if you would have written while she was alive, why should the fact that she's now dead matter? It's not like you're writing a eulogy for that person.

Remember that they won't be reading it now, or in the next two weeks, or the next month. So it won't come off quite the way it feels right now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Would you take it?
Am I understanding correctly that it's supposed to be taken as soon as possible after the trauma? Not really the best time to have to make that kind of choice.
