It's a moment out of a life; a few moments of a jittery bride's experience before the most important day of her life.<br /><br />I disagree with Chris Ward. I don't believe it can be placed in "family drama" or any type of "drama", for that matter. It really is a non genre work of fiction, and well-written, too!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog! I appreciate the comment and the encouragement . . . and tomorrow is mailing day for me so watch your mail box in the next coming days . . . ;-)Catharinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845180161591748302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017306041804208602.post-26969709714256888292013-06-24T12:59:11.438-07:002013-06-24T12:59:11.438-07:00Hi Guy

Of course it is from a perspective I could never have (ditto child birth) but I think it is not a genre' I can pin down, but is a "sweet" short story. I'm not sure about third person...maybe I'll try to send you one from the ideas on my other post.

Not...I'd put it under "family drama". Not sure I really understand how any fiction can have no genre. There's always some bracket you can put it in. Same as all words have a grammatical term, even if all the ones people aren't sure about (words like "ago") are just lumped into the adverbs box.Chris Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041048445927976912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017306041804208602.post-4330523480337092772013-06-23T16:18:45.608-07:002013-06-23T16:18:45.608-07:00Hi Dannie

It is everyday things that make one feel and could happen to you.<br /><br />The one thing I might say about the way you wrote. You used I to start too many sentences. There are ways around that and it will be a better read and seem more professional. <br /><br />Now, you asked for my opinion and what I say comes to you from someone that admires your hard work and talent. Your story touched me from the father's perspective-- which is something else 1st person should do. It's not all about the main character. It's just seen through her eyes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017306041804208602.post-73372510381962824072013-06-23T13:40:16.192-07:002013-06-23T13:40:16.192-07:00Hi Gerri

I have been researching magazines to submit short romance stories to and have found quite a few that only take No Genre Fiction, so I thought I'd try it.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02039448074178382326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017306041804208602.post-65685129078162821842013-06-23T13:37:11.288-07:002013-06-23T13:37:11.288-07:00Hi Jane

I'm always looking for a challenge. Doesn't mean I can conquer them, but I try. :-) I'll have to try it in different points of view, which would work out good for me because I normally don't write in 1st person.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02039448074178382326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017306041804208602.post-84299021017974053302013-06-23T13:29:05.736-07:002013-06-23T13:29:05.736-07:00Not chick-lit.
