When I write these little stories, I am trying to create a mood. My goal is to evoke something loving and tender. Sometimes I use a ridiculous amount of dialog in the hopes of painting a picture that has some depth.
And, I am guilty of re-using bits and pieces of these stories over again. I am much more interested in the build up, because that's where I find the most excitement.
The stories I write can be sort of haunting for me, I can get lost in them. I am so focused on creating a mood of tenderness and love, that don't really care about much else. This means they can get long with a lot of repetitive dialog. Sorry if it's too much, I am writing these stories for myself.
Just so you know, I love getting feedback from readers who enjoy my stories. It makes me feel wonderful!
