Brigit's Flame - January 2009 - Week 1

Jan 10, 2009 18:09

Hello, and Happy New Year!

brigits_flame is back!

I logged in to drop out. Yet, somehow the nice reminder from the mods I found in my inbox urged me to keep trying. I like to honor my commitments so I wrote something. I wish I had more time. Thanks for reading.

This week's topic is ANGELS.

I like this. Short, to the point, and detailed.

Hi, I'm one of your editors this week.

I love the way you interpreted this week's theme. Your piece really touched me with the mention of all the bad things happening to the world today. At least it reminds us all that there's something bigger than us.

I don't have any suggestions this week! I loved how short it was. The language was concise and the sentences were a perfect mix of short and long.

One question though:
What made you decide to put the line about the coffee? Curiosity does indeed kill the cat.

Great job this week and good luck!

Thanks for your nice comments. The coffee line! Well, I should have explained my thoughts in the author's notes I considered adding after the story.

Generally, I jot down all thoughts I have on the topic, that part is a remnant of the first draft. I just tried to imagine Angels in Heaven and for some reason I like the idea that in their almighty righteousness they drink milk!

Hope that answers your question!
