RE: Creator's Alert - New Year's Writing/Creation Contest -Steem Prize
New Years offers the promise of change—otherwise, why would we look forward to it? We all await the coming of the new in the hope that we will not spend another year given over to the self-defeating games we usually play. Yes, a new year is about to begin and the difference between 2016 and 2017 will not lie in events, happenstance, personal goal setting or the making of resolutions. Because real significant change does not consist so much in having a good year, as a good life—and that kind of metamorphosis and maturation requires a change of heart.
My story, New Years In Samoa illustrates how this kind of heart-change can bring about a profound life-change. Here is the link and my wish is that as you read the story its truth will whisper to your heart.
Loved this story - it's an attitude vs formula challenge. Out with the old, in with the new - not in the new year's shallow sense, but in a real heart sense.
Very well written, great dialogue and characters. My heart sank with your character too when he returned to an empty house. I saw the deeper meaning though before he did...because I'm smarter :)
you are smarter - some people need a major wake-up call. Craig needed a cosmic two by four to the side of the head :)
Entered! I haven't read you story yet, but I will by the time I set up the voting post.
