Let’s lighten it up around here. And when I say lighten, I mean REALLY lighten.
This week’s assignment will require the fewest number of words ever: we want you to write a story – your choice of topic – as a tweet.

I LOVE concrit :) thank you! I agree that it's a good change, bringing the moment back to her present instead of anchoring it in the past.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate it.
Oh la lahhh. And love begins.
ReplyDeleteDreams really do 'morph' as lives become 'entwined', don't they. Nicely done! :>
