My story

Generational Trauma  (13+) Sisters discover secrets and lies #2342123 by Sumojo

was well received by my Wednesday Writers group of ladies. I wrote it for the Showing not Telling Contest. On Wednesday though the reason I read it to the group was because I had an alternative ending and wanted to pass it by the others. I was pleased I did because I was leaning towards changing the ending but was persuaded not to.
On a much far larger scale than a local group of lady writers, here on WdC when we share our words we are seeking the opinions of many others, most of whom may be better or at least more impartial than ourselves. I love good reviews and are often disappointed with the ones which just ticks the box.

I often wonder why I write and feel so strongly about my stories as I’m writing. However I might be in the minority, for when a story, on which I’ve spent many hours composing, editing and putting on display for the scrutiny of others, has done the rounds, I lose interest in it. I do nothing with it or even have a desire to do anything with it. I have hundreds of stories which I’ve been told I should self publish into books of short stories. I suppose the fact I’ve no interest in the publication side, must mean I write purely for personal satisfaction.
