The funny thing is, I initially wrote the piece in the past tense, then thought I'd shake things up a bit and place it in present!Amy-Baskin.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02456111597354561225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604450008781383401.post-81989120319446709242010-01-21T15:13:28.026-08:002010-01-21T15:13:28.026-08:00Carly Simon was on my mind too!

Take this for what it's worth because I am no one to be giving advice - but take out the present tense and try it - "Two more fairly insistent rings, then whoever it was (was it actually Dick? She couldn’t tell)went away.<br /> After she made sure that all her doors and windows were properly locked, Melanie checked her inventory." Again - I love this and feel free to totally ignor me :)Dee Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077141911351737390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604450008781383401.post-23025944755823033212010-01-18T22:50:06.818-08:002010-01-18T22:50:06.818-08:00u left me thirsty for more!

(The other is procrstaination, as in 'I'm going to write this...tomorrow). Yesterday, however, I decided that I am a wrier- now, this minute. I have to believe it to make it happen. <br /><br />'eyes wide like a woodland creature' and 'melanie swore off men again' are great lines! <br /><br />I look forward to reading more of your writing! My Sunday Scribbling is up too. <br /><br />Bella<br />BellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604450008781383401.post-45315151408906383562010-01-17T11:55:00.416-08:002010-01-17T11:55:00.416-08:00Malanie swore off men..... again.
