| The next story, in the five story set of changes is, "Saving Self ; Picking Up The Pieces." This story is a little longer than some of the others, i wrote it two years ago, to be included in a diffrent book. "Tales and Myths of the Innercity", is being published now, and will be out sometime in August. I considered, including it in there, but I didn't think it fit in. The story follows, Jaunita a married woman who feels her marriage is ending. She tries to put a career together, and figure out what she wants to do next. |
| It was such a diffrent experience creating, Emerging, towards the end I was beginning to like the fictional characters. I almost could, imagine being at the ballroom, competition. I really enjoyed writing this story. Writing on Writing.com, has been nice except for the visitors, from Mars in beyond, color the world with neurotic frenzy. I thank all, the readers and authors it's been very rewarding. |
| The story is over, I had fun writing the Emerging. When I first decided, to write about Mother Wrights' daughter, Demitra, I had a diffrent plan. I just wanted to give her substance, she came out as, witty and talented, and charming. I would have liked to develop Jimmie and charlie more, I may in a new story soon. I see new characters, as a potential, for further development, into a story of their own. Take care--rixxie, 7/19/08 |
| I had fun with the ballroom, competition, I'd thought I throw in a few surprizes. I was surprized as the events unfolded. It was one of those stories I just go with the flow. You may be in for another surprize, Jimmie is acting all romantic, and all...... rixxie--7/17/08 |
| Demitra and jimmie were a little nervous about the competition. They are all handling it like old pro's. They have their stomach full of carbs,maybe they'll show us their cool moves! Take care--rixxie 7/13/08 |
| I'm really getting into this Ballroom competition, I'm starting to really like the characters. I hope they win a prize, sometimes I don't know where it's going. They do paint a pretty picture, in their formal wear. See you at the ball..... Take Care--rixxie |

I wonder how the people at the other end of the line feel but if you actually got a conversation going, I could imagine it would be quite interesting!
