So i recently published one of my stories. I love to write these and they help me cope. I'm looking for feedback regarding the vocabulary or anything! Add me, I need all the help I can get.
The package of twizzlers opens easy, you've been down this road enough times to know how to get the job done. All you had to do was sink you teeth into that special dip in the plastic and you knew it would give way to your advances immediately. It couldnt resist your request for access. As the bag opens the smell absolutely surrounds you. Cherries. mmmm. You love the waxy feel of the pull apart twizzlers, how they slide through your fingers, yet stall just a little. You could peel them apart one by one by one, but you know that wont satify you fast enough. Instead you grab 3 and roll them all into one glorious ball. as the beutiful red ball sits in your hand, you begin to salivate..... you bring it to your lips and just let it linger for a moment, feeling the texture against your lips. You open your mouth and let the entire ball enter. Oh god. this is what youve needed for so long, how could you have even waited this long? If you would have known how amazing it would be, surely you would have gone to the store sooner. The flavor is fruity,and thick...leaving every tastebud in your mouth screaming in satisfaction, its hard to chew but with ever rotation, the flavor becomes more intense, more...intimate. Youre wet. you feel it dripping down. your mouth is so full that it can not hold even your own saliva. you giggle as you wipe it up and back into your mouth. Finally you chew enough to swallow. Time to make another ball

Not "dirty"....erotic

I found reading it too choppy to really be able to get into it. It doesn't draw you in and keep you connected to the idea. We get that this is about twizzlers but it's too You this, You that. Just lacks flow.0

I like the steak one much better. I could almost taste it.

Yes! thank you, that is a much better term.0 -
Agreed. I don't like second-person narrative. It's unnecessarily distracting.I found reading it too choppy to really be able to get into it. It doesn't draw you in and keep you connected to the idea. We get that this is about twizzlers but it's too You this, You that. Just lacks flow.
Consider the same story in first person (with added paragraphs):

^This. Much much better!!!!0 -

Punctuation in the right places would help, too. I was trying to stay focused, but missing apostrophes and commas were making me crazy! I've never made a ball out of Twizzlers. I prefer to dangle it in front of my face, then catch it with my tongue and let my tongue guide it into my mouth. 0

....... I'm sorry, but reading this has me totally, and utterly disgusted.
Now, don't get me wrong, the man is an amazingly descriptive writer. His writing skill is comparable to Stephen King, at least to me. Stephen King is of course, more refined, but OP definitely can make you see what he wants you to see.
Nevertheless, I still don't like it. Sorry, but I don't. I know why I don't like it, but I don't wanna go off topic. My opinion, you've got talent, but this piece was just really disturbing and off putting for me.0 -
It is very descriptive. You get us right there with you...
But, this sounds like how I used to describe food in my head when I was anorexic. That is to say, describe it in such a way as to make it sound gross.
Seriously, I don't eat Twizzlers hardly ever anyway, but I don't think I'll ever eat one again. All I'll be able to think about is someone's mouth full of Twizzlers mush and cherry sugar saliva. *shivers*0 -
I am with Marilynx and another. I think its gross and the other is hard to keep reading, didn't grab me. I don't find food sexy though either. Right now its a pain in the *kitten* necessity that I can't get a firm handle on for a proper balance. I am sure there are select groups that would enjoy it though.0

You make Twizzlers sound better than sex. And I don't like Twizzlers.0

This is actually one of the reasons why I don't like it. I struggle everyday with fighting the urge to eat, so seeing it so vividly described disturbs me. It's a struggle fighting the urge to eat, so seeing it so vividly described is disturbing. However, my personal issues don't make him a bad writer. He's a great writer, just I think a little insensitive for a weight loss forum.0 -
Not a Twizzler's fan, but these guys are!

Hi,
you are a good writer and maybe you can use that talent to change your focus from food and the love of it. Which trust me I am just as guilty. I hear that journaling is helpful really staying on track. This is an article I recently read about it.
A Cheap and Easy Stress Reliever
Ever had one of those days when you have so much to do that you don't even know where to begin? Or when you have so many thoughts and emotions swimming in your head that you don't know which end is up? I know what that's like! When I'm stressed out or something is bothering me, I sit down and write. Getting my thoughts on paper helps me identify my stressors and come up with solutions. Plus, it just feels good to get it all out!
If you don't do so already, I recommend keeping a journal and writing in it regularly. Writing for just 10 to 15 minutes a day can make a huge difference in your stress level and your mind-set. Many members of my online program use their Food and Fitness Journal for this purpose, but you can also do it the old-fashioned way — with pen and paper.
Need some ideas to get started? Here are some topics you can write about in your journal:
1. Your day.- Simply writing down a play-by-play of your day can get your thoughts flowing and steer you to other topics.
2. Your goals. - Writing about the person you want to be and the life you want to live can help you visualize your dreams and come up with a plan for making them real.
3. Specific problems or worries. - Write about the things that stress you out or events that have upset you in the past. Describe how these things make you feel — and why — and brainstorm a list of actions you can take to counter these problems and feel better.
4. Priorities and to-do lists. - This is a must for all you multitaskers and responsibility jugglers! When you feel overwhelmed, write down all the things you have to do and prioritize them.
5. What you're thankful for. - This might sound cheesy, but trust me — it can help you think more positively. Your life will always have room for improvement, of course, but taking time out to acknowledge and appreciate the good things can help you put everything else in perspective.
When you're writing, resist any perfectionist urges. Don't edit yourself, and don't worry about spelling or how your prose sounds. You're not writing for posterity, or for anyone else's sake — you're doing it for you.
Hope this was helpful,

You're a good writer, but why would you want to focus so idealistically on the very thing that is killing you. Perhaps you could redirect your attention to another topic, such as your pet, your mother, what it's like to be homebound. For me this type of writing would only support my obsession with food. Right now, it may be that food is the most important thing in many of our lives, but for any of us to lose weight we must replace the ideation with a healthful awareness of what we are eating. Time for a different consciousness?0
