Us country girls, we may do tea, but we don't do fancy. A hat with its own zipcode 😁
One of the best things about your story is that it is not a sermon. Your message is stronger because you show the pain, and the understanding. That's the great thing about fiction. You can give a lesson and it doesn't seem like a lesson. Plus, it's entertaining.
Welcome back to the Ink Well. I don't always have the inspiration/courage to write a story myself, but when I do it is very, very satisfying.
You'll have to share a picture of those boots when you get them!
My attempt at fancy would definitely be disastrous, well, at least there would be some hay stuck to me somewhere, lol lol! Although, I did go to a masquerade ball once, but I did get my gown caught in the a heater grate as I was diffusing a cat fight....
I kinda hate preaching and pandering. The thing is though, I love, love, love to learn and listen to people, but pomposity grates my turnips. Pain is a pretty universal teacher, and I have to say my dear @agmoore, I do so love your comments, they are grand for my ego, which means I need to go look at something I failed out, you know, cause humility😉
There are always stories and themes floating around in my cranium, but for some reason I allow a lot of living to get in my way which limits my composition output, terrible I know, but my thoughts stray to the Ink Well a lot, as do my upvotes.
And you can bet I will share a pic of those magnificent boots when I get around to procuring them! Hope you are having a most lovely weekend.:)
