Writing is a way of finding self—
The only way to do it is word by word.
Perhaps you could start here:
The day did not turn out quite as I expected...

She/He took my breath away with the way....
The jungle breathed...
The desert ate....
If you need help, that is what I am here for. Join me at Gentle Editing: Your Words, Your Way.

Read Jerry Wenstrom's review of Loving.
Rhea and Jordan Devereaux had it all: undying devotion, a tender love, and a grand passion. And then the Vietnam War separated them. Follow the course of their love across time and space. Journey with them through the steaming jungle; dance with the Mardi Gras revelers while revolution unseats Louis XVI and protestors on the Washington Mall scream, Hell, NO. We won't Go. Sail with Laffite's pirates into Devil's Isle and rejoice as an unconditional and timeless love emerges victorious.
