My own mother was a prisoner of the Catholic ethos of the day, which prescribed having as many children as possible and living for family and church. You and I have spent many an hour over a glass (or two) of wine "de-constructing" our mother-daughter relationships.

We used to leave the house to play, and they had no idea of our whereabouts or what we were doing. A far cry from the "helicopter parents" of today. The trick is finding the happy medium. I'm glad you have your daughters!Spirit Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290968467835682656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807681426281488536.post-86806226967702978462010-11-15T13:25:34.047-08:002010-11-15T13:25:34.047-08:00"One gentleman showed up wearing pink flowere..."One gentleman showed up wearing pink flowered trousers, a red plaid jacket, a yellow shirt, and a green necktie."<br /><br />What did your young self think of this outfit?<br /><br />I'd let you in.

I know you won't give up because you are a true writer and true writers never quit because we have this drive that keeps us going and going and going (not sure if it's a DNA thing or PMS thing, but whatever, I"m on a rant now too). Someone someday will validate you for the years of hard work and dedication you've put forth. You just have to be like a shark and keep moving. Keep going. Never give up.

He took one look at himself in the mirror in his costume and said: "Mama, I scare myself." I told him that was the perfect response for a cowardly lion. <br /><br />I think hearing or reading critiques on your work is like looking in the mirror — sometimes you scare yourself, but that may be the perfect response to get to where you are going in your writing.Susan Bearmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991968368214219371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807681426281488536.post-65615820751767029562009-11-03T12:46:12.709-08:002009-11-03T12:46:12.709-08:00I didn't read the "winners", but I l...I didn't read the "winners", but I liked this story. The pacing was good; the dogs were distinct characters, and their reaction was believable (at least, from what I know about dogs. All mine does is refuse to "go" outside whenever the weather changes more than five degrees in either direction).<br /><br />Apart from a few typos, my biggest concern is the short time frame. Marissa would have to be a very tiny woman for an acute weight loss to be visible in just a week. Did she suffer the same fate as the narrator, or is she just terrified? <br /><br />Remember, submitting is always better than not submitting, even if you don't win.
