Exactly Ivy…or as one of my favorites Elmore Leonard said If it sounds like writing rewrite it. That always kinda baffled me until I realized that Leonard was a masterful story teller and his advice was to tell a story not to write.

@Mikesouth My problem is my fingers fly when I’m writing an opinion piece I’m passionate about, but I stare at blank pages when it comes to deadlines. Every single time. I always dreaded flash fiction for that reason, as its actually a very concise art. This guy just nails it, and I loved it. One wouldn’t think that a couple of paragraphs would be hard work, until you try to be a writer. LOL.

Dude you are my family man, not by blood but because I chose you to be….That’s the best family there is….

Ivy I actually KNEW youd like Tim’s writing, I am sure many others here do as well…and in all honesty when we were playing off of each other it made ME way better because I had to write up, so to speak. Tim is good and deserves a better audience than he currently has, I am trying to help that along.

Thank You and Thank You Tim for allowing me to repost it.
