The Wrath of God
Mary Margaret's grandmother, Moselle, stood in the middle of Chucky Cheese's, apropos of nothing, and said, "I'm so excited about the second coming, I can hardly stand it!"
Moselle's hand flew into the air, cupping it, and her eyes rolled back in her head as she said, "Hanana, jojubu, Ha-ta-ta-ta-ta!"

| Wonderful story, Rosie. I never know what to expect, but can always anticipate a good read. Poor Mary Margaret - Catholic + Pentecostal = serious confusion for a child. I loved the end and the fact that she finished painting for Moselle. Shows such love and acceptance. Great details, characters, everything a story should be. |

after being away from your writing, i come to the conclusion that your flash is more concentrated and aims for the plexus faster.
rosie, you are a flasher...by nature. felt throughout, strong. |

As usual I feel I've been transported to a parallel universe with your story telling. We speak the same language and know of each others cultures - but your work shows how differently our lives unwind. I love all things Americana - and you give me my visual fix whenever I seek it. Thank you...x
The technical stuff that bounces between you and the Wizz was quite something too... Jesus! |

Not trying to "sort" you! Just realize those things I told you about, you can overdo them. And with any sort of writing guides or advice, you need to develop a sense of exactly when to break the rules. And almost all of the experts say it, so I'll say it as well--all rules are meant to be broken. Just know why you are breaking them, what they are and always be intentional.
Also, I'm writing in a new form right now. I've put short stories away for a bit to work on flash fiction--so, I'm playing by another set of rules this month. |
