Goose bumps raise the tiny, fine hairs on my neck as you murmur against my skin, Baby. I never tire of
hearing you call me Baby. The years haven’t dampened the thrill. Your lips brush mine and the word baby escapes in a whisper. Forever your baby, lover and friend.
…but better than never.
I’m off to a roaring start with my very first A to Z challenge.
Falling back on the easy About Me post.
In-a-nutshell, writing is my third act in life. I grew up in a small SC town located near the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. 
Living this third act in Texas peppers many of my stories with down-home Southern flavor.

I’ve read many writing tips on story pacing. Bet you have too. Wish it were as easy as moving to the 
beat of a good song. If it were, I’d set up a metronome next to my computer. For me though getting the pacing right in a story is often times a combination of magic, mystery and dumb luck.
However, this morning’s newsletter from On The Premises, a Web-based fiction magazine, was an ah-ha moment for me.
In spite of a story, submitted for publication, flooring the judges with a killer ending the story was rejected.
Tarl Kudrick, co-publisher of On The Premises, explains in plain English their thought process and provides helpful suggestions too.
… I found its first half predictable and slow [… .]
… If you find yourself writing “the boring part” just to get to “the good part,” here are two techniques that should help[… .]
Mr. Kudrick goes into detail on how to cut the purple prose get to the point and keep the story moving.
