"You have to help me! I can't bear to remember this!" The young woman dropped to her knees, clutching the hem of my skirts, franticly attempting to keep me from walking away.

I bent down, took her chin in my hand, and looked into her tear-filled eyes. "Why, child? Why are you so desperate to forget

Powerful stuff. This would be a wonderful opener to a longer story! Loved it!

[1_rhiannon_1]

Thank you! :D For the moment, that's all I have on it but someday I may continue it :D

[justjo2u]

I hopr you do ut I understand. Have the makings of a story started mnyself somewhere but there is never the time to continue it.

[1_rhiannon_1]

I have a bunch that are in desperate need of editing too. Too many stories, not nearly enough hours in the day!

[justjo2u]

God, there were so many typos in that comment. It should have read... "I hope you do but I understand. Have the makings of a story started myself somewhere but there is never the time to continue it.

The dog was bumping my arm as I typed. I didn't notice the typos at the time.

Yeah I am currently working on one original fic which might turn out to be novel length, but I have another short story on the go and a longer one that needs drastic editing. Not enough hours in the day!

[1_rhiannon_1]

*grin* Not a problem - I have cats so I understood what you were trying to say. They tend to bump my arm a lot when I type too :o)

I have ideas for a bunch of short fics but I never seem to have time to really work on them. I have to pick and choose between fics, graphics, and email sometimes. :(

[justjo2u]

I have a cat too but he keeps himself to himself. Not terribly sociable.

Same here! (Minus the graphics!) Then you have to add work, family, chores, shopping, other hobbies... sleep... I like to do that occasionally!

[1_rhiannon_1]

Yes! I like to sleep occasionally too! Just think how much we could get done if we DIDN'T need sleep :D

[justjo2u]

Yep, it's strange though. I often wake up in the early hours thinking about getting up and writing. I never wake up with the urge to go to work!

[1_rhiannon_1]

Hahahaha! Oddly enough, that never happens to me either... Wonder why that is? ;-)

[justjo2u]

Writing means being in my own little world. Going to work means interacting with the masses! Ugh...

[1_rhiannon_1]

*nods* Yep, that would be the why. *sigh*
