I can't help but notice a lot od spelling and grammar errors, like maybe English isn't their first language. I'd suggest having a proof-reader if that's so, because it's something that was distracting, for me at least.

Yeah, I think I'd have to second that. Some of these mistakes are understandable, they might even be deliberate. Others only make sense if the character isn't supposed to have a good grasp of English, or if they are actual mistakes.

Other than that, this is potentially interesting. I do love the Candle Cove story, that said, I'm not so big on spin-off stories that try to turn it into crazy, violent, demonic possession dramas.

yeah...syntax is a problem but it seems interesting. Not sure if it could beat "to light a candle" though Razz (that being a fear mythos blog involving it xD)

I agree with previous posters here about syntax/grammar issues, but something about the psychiatrist post intrigued me. Firstly, a psychiatrist would typically not be amused about his client blocking out a traumatic event. That isn't very empathetic...so that description struck me as odd. Also, the idea that the psychiatrist also saw Candle Cove as a child...Maybe I'm picking at details here, but there's definitely something odd about that shrink.

So, while I normally get very annoyed at grammar/spelling/other syntax issues, I do find that parts of this blog are interesting me enough to continue reading. Also, the most recent posts seem a little better in this regard (or maybe I'm just getting used to it Smile). We'll see where this one goes!

I thought it was odd the psychiatrist offered (or accepted the offer) to grab some drinks and reminisce. Even if they do end up being childhood friends, isn't that unprofessional?

Does seem to be improving grammar and spelling-wise. I'm very interested to see what happens.

The psychiatrist didn't laugh at a repressed memory. I'm not sure which part you're confusing for that.

The drinks, on the other hand, are totally unprofessional. In fact, once the psychiatrist found out that they were old friends, he should have referred him to someone else.

I'd like to believe this is a hint that something is not quite right here, but I think it's more probable that the writer didn't do the research.

"I didn't remember the event. He found it amusing and went on to say..." That is the quote from the blog post that I was talking about. Also, entirely agreed about getting drinks - dual/multiple relationships are highly unethical and often illegal, depending on the situation, in the counseling field. Honestly, I had just skimmed the blog the day before and didn't remember the part with the drinks...somehow the word "amusing" stuck in my head, haha! Apologies for the confusion garnered regarding my last post.

I see it now. I have to admit, I tried reading as little as humanly possible, because I'm not sure if I'll have time to get into this yet.

That is most strange.

...So back on topic.

This looks like an interesting read. I just might catch up on this.

Ok, I just revisited this blog and read through to the current entry. I've decided that I actually really like the funky grammar and syntax in this blog. It's like reading a fever dream, ha, and it just totally fits. I forgot how good this one was. I'm definitely going to keep following.
