RE: The Wait Is Over

in The Ink Well2 years ago

Nicely written account of a couple’s desire to have children. Your story tells us that the pair have been childless for a number of years and then joyously conceive. That lovely, but there no real conflict, you need to add an obstacle for the couple to overcome to morph this tale into a short story. For instance: a good conflict would be if the husband refused to go for the necessary treatment, but certain events occur that convince him to accept it. Then, once, the deed is done the resolution would be the wife’s gentle gratitude because she understands the sacrifice it cost him in terms of his ego. This leads her to realise just how much he loves her.
