UNRESOLVED ISSUES - A to Z CHALLENGED

U is for 
UNRESOLVED 
ISSUES
Each post for the A to Z Challenge is the challenge I set for myself. 

For pages learning the art of 
combat, training works best when 
both students were evenly matched.













U is for Unresolved Issues although all the main elements of the plot must be satisfactorily resolved some threads could be left frayed because the reader – using their imagination, and the clues you have sown - can be trusted to see how these might work out.

HAL LONGLEAT AND THE TROUBLE WITH TRUTH
Hal lingered by the stable. He wondered if his stay in the castle was going to end. No one had noticed the day the Master of the Horse brought him in. It seemed everyone was going to notice him now, whether he stayed or left.

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.

CLICHÉ RAIDERS: REWRITE!

•           unavoidable delay
•           unconscionable liar
•           under a cloud
•           under the weather
•           unequal task
•           university of life
•           unsung heroes
•           untimely end
•           untold wealth
•           up to scratch/not up to scratch

FOR U, I CHOSE UNRESOLVED ISSUES. WHAT IS THE SUBJECT OF YOUR U POST?
