She was quite diminutive compared to the last participant, but that's of no matter, just an observation. She and the director had been speaking in unusually quiet voices in the hall before opening the door where the panel awaited. The whole room seemed to come alive as the two of them entered with their let's-get-it-over-with attitudes.
After a short introduction by the director, she began speaking to the ten panelists by telling them to feel free to ask questions or make comments whenever they wished, and then she began speaking without even so much as a pause, telling them of her experiences. She was an animated speaker because her involvement in the event had planted a fervor in her shown by the excitement in her eyes, the expression on her face, and the rapidity of her words bouncing off her tongue in staccato fashion. The panel seemed entranced by her words, but didn't have much of a chance to make an entrance into this debriefing session with their questions having to do with the first-of-its-kind event.
Wow...nice venture into fiction! You are a braver woman than I... I have trouble writing fiction. Its not easy to create from a vague idea... Nicely done...this creates all kinds of questions in my head... I want to know what its all about...debriefing
ReplyDeleteThank you. I don't know how others write fiction. I wonder if the plot is all laid out nicely in the author's head at the very beginning, or does the story evolve? In this case, their is so much left to discover, even for me. :-)
Deletedouble prompt word! cool…. I'm with z on this too, the risk taking that is necessary for fiction, more importantly, engaging fiction, is daunting. nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging words.
DeleteI found this whole story line to be intriguing and I love the seeds you planted, leaving us wanting to know so much more! I think you do fiction very well. I never used to even try it and I've found it to be quite fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Josie. I'll have to try some more fiction writing sometime.
DeleteThe story was very intriguing and I'm so anxious to find out what she was so animately speaking about.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val. I guess I need to try this further. :-)
