Definitely go with this story. Anytime something comes that strong, it probably will continue to flow.<br /><br />I have tried all sorts of writing: fiction, poetry, non-fiction as essays and devotiionals. I'll try anything if I get inspired.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163662759281341381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-32457556496490152822011-07-01T07:58:00.890-07:002011-07-01T07:58:00.890-07:00Yes!!

There just isn't enough time in a day!<br /><br />I'm so glad the words came. You say you wondered if you should stop writing fiction. Remember: we all have these "dry" spells. I've gone a long time, sometimes, without writing anything. But these are times for experience, for possible stories to germinate. Then when they "arrive" the way your story did, you write. And I agree, writing is about story/characters. The two go together. Keep that energy flowing. I'm sending good prayers in your direction!<br /><a href="http://anncarbinebest.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Memoir Author</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-11804392247587386152011-06-30T11:41:24.759-07:002011-06-30T11:41:24.759-07:00I'm so happy to hear about this new energy you...I'm so happy to hear about this new energy you're feeling.
