I hope that you are all ready for a relaxing and loving Holiday Season. I am, for sure, at beautiful Rosemary Beach with my Sweetheart. Part of my relaxation has been to begin learning to write short stories. My faithful blogger pal (BeachBrights) has suggested that we need to explore the social media world with a sample of my writing. I have a new Kindle and my Sweetheart has downloaded a bunch of stories to read, some free and some from prominent authors.
My Sweetheart also suggests that I am a romantic and should try that genre. This comes as a bit of a shock, as I have always written thrillers, though I try to build emotional connection into the stories (among the characters and the reader).
My parents’ wedding anniversary is on Christmas Eve. They are both in another realm, though it would have been their 69th anniversary. I am toying with a story line addressing the meaning of reconciling a mature son’s emotions about a mother who has been gone for almost 40 years.
Its always interesting. Relax and enjoy.

My editor advises that I struggle with wanting to tell my story
rather than showing it.
rather than showing it.
So, I could say that "the Rosemary Beach sunset at our walkover."
That would be telling you what I see.
That would be telling you what I see.
But I should say something like: "I was anxious about the dinner party, so I strolled down the boardwalk to see the sunset. The glorious colors calmed my spirit."
Is that showing you what I saw?
