Yo...Wow, thanks, everyone, for your nice comments. You know, alot of people mentioned that 32 words was impressive, but I think it actually made it easier to focus only on one moment. If I had expanded before or after a few paragraphs, I think I would have been banging my head against the wall too :-) I'm particularly glad to hear some people mention the emotion of the piece, because I wasn't sure it would come through. <br /><br />And, uh... (just realized that mom reads blog), glad that everyone was able to figure out that the scene was about moving furniture and dropping something on her foot... Um. yeah :-)<br /><br />Haha, seriously, though, thanks for reading everyone!Livia Blackburnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805379309049803903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-91030107030688214282010-03-15T20:56:52.700-04:002010-03-15T20:56:52.700-04:00I think I just experienced Deja Vu reading that.
