Blue Roses

Well, got through my first workshop, and I'm still alive. <.g> A lot of people really liked it, and a number of people actually got it. Which is a plus. LOL I loved a lot of the comments people left me. Oddly, I think my professor wrote the least. I think he liked it the least, too. Which I don't think is a very good thing. <.g> They took about twenty minutes to discuss it, but it was kinda drawn out. In the first story, it was lots of overlapping discussion, with mine there were lots of pauses between people talking. <.g> Kinda nerve wracking. And at one point, Ryan was like, "Well, in her defense..." I was like ACK! I didn't think I needed defending! <.g> But it was kinda cool that whenever someone would say they didn't understand something or it wasn't clear, someone else would raise their hand and correctly explain what I had intended. At the end, he asks if the author had anything to add, and no author ever has, and he never pushed it. I didn't either. But he started asking me questions, which I could luckily answer. LOL But yeah...I really enjoyed reading what people had to say about this. Some people wanted more, a few wanted less, and some thought it was good as it was. Pretty damn cool.

Now I need to write another one. EEEEEK!!!!!! LOL I'm thinking historical fiction, Eleanor Dare deciding to go with her father and their congregation to the New World, despite being 6 or 7 months pregnant. I mean, there had to be a really, really big reason as to why she and her husband would leave their country to travel to a completely new place, a dangerous place with a dangerous voyage, heavily pregnant. I'd like to explore that. I think. <.g> Any other ideas? I'll glady consider them.
