I'll try to hold back on that or actually make something important happen the next time. ;)Kai Delmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14913623803715499069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555136190302766593.post-21765975172975624122015-08-27T08:39:19.721+02:002015-08-27T08:39:19.721+02:00Took me a while, but I'm still here ;)

Someone learns something from someone who knows it better, makes mistakes, gets some tough love, and so on, and so forth. In the end, they're better than before.<br /><br />I don't exactly know whether Small John was always this averse to the military, I remember him being rather excited for this. Now he seems rather whiney all of a sudden... Has he been training that long, or is he just a wuss (for now) and got more than he bargained for?<br /><br />What I'm trying to say is that this is not one of the better entries for me. The content, the situation, is just not very interesting to me, because literally nothing happened here that isn't pretty much by the book.<br /><br />The writing itself is just fine, I just wish you'd applied it to something else. I wouldn't bother returning to Small John until something actually happens.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11749647252820873758noreply@blogger.com
