RE: Finish the Story Contest - Week #43!
This one is so rich in potential. There is character development, a suggested history and plot trajectory. Very tempting. So visual I feel like creating a picture to go with the story. Too bad I'm not an artist--but that never stops me from trying. Just have to work around the crick in my neck :))
I used to paint with watercolors. This would be a nice sketch (psst.. Roraima..). Thank you for your appreciation, that counts for me. Probably you noticed my "retargeting". I hope to read you soon 🙂
I've already begun... I see the woman and the Colonel. The husband less distinctly. Wish I could paint with watercolors--well, I can if I silence that critic in my head. My son gave me an easel and paints for Christmas, so I will have to try to respect his gesture.
I do hope I come up with something worthy. The process is the fun...the outcome not always so.
If the process is the fun, then who cares about the outcome? 😉 The woman is inspired by wifey hehe. Maybe that's why I didn't take so much time to portray the husband. Try painting, is almost as cathartic as writing .. With me, it worked a lot.
I completely agree that this lovely story is full of prospect. So happy to read that you've been inspired to paint a piece to accompany your tale! I hope that you succeed in gagging your inner critic and enjoy yourself! 🤗
