And yes, I have the gift of gab, too ;D<br /><br />You will get there, just keep going!<br />I love the title! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and your kind words!<br /><br />I too, have thought about it. I need to read more short stories.<br />It almost seems like they are the middle of a story. A few middle chapters, without so much character development! You can do it!!! :DEllahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070952447277684613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-36773251722788199402012-01-27T04:22:31.052-08:002012-01-27T04:22:31.052-08:00Thanks Felicia!

But, who knows? Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the words of encouragement.<br /><br />Livin' Life Through BooksFeliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014211491573601722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-10204806019769168462012-01-26T17:39:24.487-08:002012-01-26T17:39:24.487-08:00LOL!

I have a friend who does that (much like myself) and when we start to ramble, we ask each other, "Is this the Readers Digest Version." LOL. Its funny. I'm sure you'll get it down. I think a short story would be HARD! I haven't done one yet.Leigh Covingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16377634002477171615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-56613905032996306202012-01-26T00:24:16.036-08:002012-01-26T00:24:16.036-08:00I hear ya, Jamie.

I know I have far too much info already but I guess I just need to get it all out before editing.

New characters appear, entire scenes play out, and then mutate or disappear altogether...<br /><br />Yeah, I tend to say too, too much... The more I chew on something, the more I want the story to become. I think a short story would be extremely difficult for me. I suppose I should try to learn how to do them as well...<br /><br />Nice topic.David Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594244647778062784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-26890795188308223722012-01-24T14:27:56.584-08:002012-01-24T14:27:56.584-08:00I'm a bare bones writer, so not enough informa...I'm a bare bones writer, so not enough information the first time through.<br />Go ahead and finish it and edit out the excess later.
