Although, in this piece I am doing a lot of ‘telling’ as opposed to ‘showing’ because I thought I’d paint a picture and a scene... hence, why I referred to it a ‘snapshot’ rather than a ‘short story’... Thank you for your kind comments. <br /><br />@Annie: Great... whenever a narrative rings ‘true’ that’s a good test to doing one's characters justice... thank you!<br /><br />@Lilly J: Oh – I don’t mind a bit of bias (lol)... I get all the critique I need from my workshops/courses when my writing is ripped apart... all for the better, of course (wink)!<br /><br />@S.E. Rittel: OooHhh.. what a generous comment. Thanks for stopping by. And, I’ve had a look at your work too, on your blog. <br /><br />@Rebecca: What a wonderful response to my story, where you write: “I think I will go and hug the beloved today and never take him for granted again...” This makes me smile :)<br /><br />@Marvin: Thank you, Marvin – it’s good to know that you’re staying connected to my work.<br /><br />@Cynthia: Thank you, Cynthia. ‘...Why did he leave?’--- lately, I’ve been reflecting on people who go ‘missing’... just like that... for a whole host of reasons... so, only Morten knows why he left... if he did indeed intentionally leave and did not come to any misfortune on his journey to the newsagents...CathMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143141734424055810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8635752818915624910.post-71835401807045618982009-04-18T23:26:00.000-07:002009-04-18T23:26:00.000-07:00Oh gorgeous writing, story telling
