Jenna's Diary

A collaboration between Jenna and I

I can't claim this as my cap.  Normally I can claim a cap as 'mine' because I write out the story, but in this case 'Jenna' wrote this.  So since I didn't write this, and the image isn't mine, I'll just call this a collaboration.  And if the image looks familiar, that's because it is the same image I used to make the title graphic for my last 'question' post ("[Question] Have you ever thought of making a fictional TG story?").

When Jenna saw the image, it evidently inspired her to write this out and thankfully she added it as a comment.  When I saw the comment, I thought it would make a lovely cap, so here it is!

I really wanted this to focus on Jenna's story, so it doesn't have a title graphic.  and even though there is already something written in the image, I wanted the story to feel more like Jenna hand wrote this, so I chose a font that looks more hand written.

Jenna.... I think you wrote out a lovely story, and should consider writing out more!

  1. *BLUSH* I'm really almost speechless. Quite rare for me. I almost didn't post it after I typed in the comment. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate, after all it is your space and I wasn't sure... If I had imagined that you would do something so sweet, I would have done a little editing. :) But you made it look so lovely that I don't think it suffers too much from my rough draft text. Ok ...so much for the speechless thing... I"m afraid you have created a monster with your appeal for people to leave comments. I'm going to stop rambling now. TY for taking the time and effort. You are my favorite tg capper by the way...in case you hadn't already figured that out. xoxo Jenna

    1. I'm glad you DID write that Jenna. I think it's a great story and not one that I would have come up with myself. If you DO have an edit to the text that you think would work better, just let me know and I'll make a 2nd version of it.

      And thank you for saying that I'm your favorite. I'm sure you are just being polite, as you must have several, of not many 'favorite' cappers!

  2. I love the pensive look of the model, I love the black and white almost film noir look of it... but most of all I love the text that Jenna has written.

    It reads perfectly and captures so many little subtle nuances and feelings that it really works well. A beautiful caption, well done Jenna!

  3. Caitlin, after looking at it again I think most of the things I might write differently would need a much larger format...and I like this one just the way it is...although I would change, "How could they see..." to "How can I make them see..." so that the tenses match.
    You are being too modest :)...but that is a nice trait. Evie, TY for such nice words, they made my day a little brighter. Jenna

  4. That's a real emotive text you lend it there Jenna :)

    and I'm a sucker for emotions, you know! I can see there was so much deep thoughts put into it and all around it just make it the more special :P

    Great work to you Caitlyn for fullfilling a fantasy :)

  5. Muchas gracias. Que es muy dulce de usted decir. Abrazes y besos. My Spanish is weak and very very rusty..but I'm hoping that the message gets through. (And that it is still as nice as I mean it to be.) i prefer miracles to curses as a rule ...but ou have a way of making a curse look delicious. ;) Jenna

    1. Yep I get it through :)

      Btw probably you wanted to say That's very kind of you: That's means in spanish Es muy dulce por tu parte would be the right sentence. And the last Abrazos instead of that ;P

      So you get it almost right hehe ;)

  6. This one is very beautiful... And so obviously heartfelt. It's obvious that Caitlyn put her heart in this one...

    Thanks for sharing it with us!

    1. I appreciate you saying that Brittney, but I want to make sure that praise goes to Jenna. She wrote the story... I just put her text over a picture!

    2. Thanks Caityln, but you did much more than that...if I hadn't read your appeal for feedback I most likely would not have ever commented on any posts( you get the credit or the blame there). The pic you posted inspired the writing and your kindness put it all together. xoxo Jenna
