I'm working on a Valentine's Day light romantic short story for Feb. 2015. Then, DD told me a very sweet story, which is romantic, I need to research a bit, to make it more authentic & I'll change the sexes of the characters. She told it to me from a woman's POV & I'll write it from a man's POV instead, to "disguise" the actual story. This is fun when the stories come TO me from other sources! I get a lot of ideas from the TV news or talk shows, then Dear Abby, & my past or people from my past or dfamily members. I change the sex of the POV a lot, change how many children someone might have or make them divorced with kids, & shake it up a bit. But it's fun to "play God" & create entire lives, people, with real life problems, which they solve nicely. That's the whole point. To present a problem of a main character, their learning to solve their problem, try to have a happy solution & ending, so it'll help readers solve THEIR problems or relate in some way. I think by remembering the reader, "who" might be reading, is the way to go. I know how a lot of times, in our lives, we'll have problems & don't know where to turn. Yes, I DO have some religious characters, too.
Dratso! I just took off a black & gold onyx ring because it was too large for me. It's deceased DMIL's ring. I put on a big brown stone ring, & IT'S turning around and around, TOO! I keep shrinking out of my rings & undies. Oh, well. It's a good thing. Once my fingers shrink enough, I can be able to use the ring finger rings on a middle finger or index finger instead. That's going to look kind of neat. Oh, Dratso again! Now my anniversary ring is twisting. I just took off my wedding ring because it was starting to be too tight! I guess I need to run & find a ring that fits. My ring finger feels "naked" without a ring on it. But I always take them off before bedtime, so I don't accidentally scratch myself in my sleep.
DH is almost ready to be picked up by his buddy, to go eat a Mexican lunch out. They'll have fun. His buddy always gives him a comical card with lots of laughs, too! I'll work more on my story by hand, will declutter, do 1 LOL, & write some cards w/letters out to a few people. Have a great afternoon, Everybody! Just a quickie C. I. right now! Will BBL!
