| G is for GOALS |
Each
post for the A to Z Challenge is the challenge I set for myself.

| Sometimes people's goals conflict ;) |
For me, in writing, G is for Goals because it is the difference between
theoretically writing and challenging yourself to produce sections or chapters
that build up to the end.
HAL LONGLEAT AND THE TROUBLE WITH TRUTH
Hal licked at the rough and torn skin
beside his nail. Then, he gripped his hands over the top of his hat. He edged away
from the shadow and risked moving little further forward. He climbed on to the
water trough and rested a hand on the stable wall for balance. He still wasn’t
tall enough to see over the crowd. It wasn’t that he cared about the result. He
had to know what was happening.
Could YOU have been gifted with the ability to identify
and eliminate weak and brittle phrases from your work? To the uninitiated,
these interlopers look like quality imagery.
