Good news everyone...I've decided to take the plunge and sign up for Nanowrimo! (National Writing Month) Which is to write 50,000 word 175 page story by the end of November. I'm going to stretch out and dig deeper into my last short story-"Men of Renown". Due to complaints by readers that, "It could go deeper, explain more, expand the ending, etc." I think it's a good opportunity to listen to this advice.

#1 I met her by the radiance of the gigantic tree.
#2 Glowing brightly in the mist of ice, it frowned upon the spectators.
#3 Sent far from its home in Canada, it was slain for the sake of beauty.
#4 For beauty is rarely found in this cluster of chaos.
#5 And now standing tall in Rockefeller center, it never looked more beautiful than in death.
#6 It was the perfect place.
#7 It takes a tragedy, a death for something significant to occur.
#8 Only then will people listen, when we all become beautiful.
#9 Art is never modeled after perfection, just the hidden marvel deep within distortion.
The beauty within a crooked smile or a wilting flower.
Messages between the lines, between the words.

Since the last two lines are actually fragments, I'm leaving them in a single sequence. I don't like over-using fragments...but sometimes I just feel the need to, sue me.
