writing on the downturn

guess i've been busy lately. dreams have kept me up though... here's one i had last night:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She enjoyed the scent of lavender. Every time she wiped down the counter, she would catch a whiff. Being economically sound wasn't so bad after all....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and with that pause, the phone rang and i couldn't finish this story. i find it amusing how i have an entire build-up of a story but the reader doesn't have any idea what's coming.

more to come, hopefully i'll remember to finish this one.

some day, i'll have a complete story.

excited about a new story

okay... i think i really have something good going here. one of my freewrites, the one on may 17th has really caught my attention. i was writing at a time where my emotions ran high and the feelings just hit close to home. i hate to say it, but you really have to write what you know.

so i think i'd like to ellaborate on that theme. a lonely woman who's been burned before, finds hope in her new lover, but becomes incredibly divided in her own mind. while she feels security in him, she is unsure if she should trust him, like she's trusted no other. i don't want to describe the entire character, i'd rather write about it, but i'm wondering how well i can make it flow.... we'll see.

next part coming soon.
