I’ve been away. Away from home with its gardens and cat, away traveling with my husband, visiting with a friend. I have been away from the computer, the internet, away from this blog and from yours. Now that I have returned I will try to resume my flash fiction responses and my Saddle Up Saloon episodes. (Want to be featured??)
I have had some good news upon my return. A response to a SixSentenceStory prompt was the seed for a story that is featured at WOW! Women on Writing. Here’s what Angela of WOW! had to say:
Dear D.,
Congratulations on placing as a runner up in the WOW! Spring ’21 Fiction Contest w/ lit agent Emily Forney! “Going” is a beautifully written, immersive journey! Your dialogue is realistic, and the pacing is perfect. It’s a moment of big change, and I’m hopeful for them! It felt realistic. Thanks for sharing this gem, and keep up the excellent storytelling! We hope to read more of your work. 🙂
Write on!
Go check them out and see the spring contest winners, and upcoming contests. Or, just click HERE to see my runner’s up story.
Thanks!

This really is a ‘gem’ and I agree the pacing was perfect….as a reader you never knew quite where you or the characters were ‘going’ from the first word to the last.
Congratulations.

Ha! I didn’t know where this was headed even as I wrote it. I just followed that first line that came to the page. Thank you for reading and commenting.

‘Going’ is a lovely story on a topic not frequently explored. Casual, realistic conversation. Congrats, Avery:)
