Wow, this is my main problem…I (say it) instead of (showing it.) Or so I’ve been told but no one gives me any examples….. which to my dismay is how I learn…thanks again. You guys are my Heros.

Sam let out a deep and heartfelt sigh and fingered the crumpled note in his pocket.
It was not his qualification – credentials could be forged, and he was used to throw himself in any situation, to learn and adapt on the go, but this, this was heavy stuff. It would take time. Not a few namsy pamsy hours, but real time.

He took the note out, flattening between his hands. Looking at it, not really reading – he already knew it by heart.

Sighing again he turned around and left, stuffing the note into his pocket again. He needed to think this one over.

“Another day. Maybe in another town.” he mumbled, knowing deep inside that even though he won’t act on this now, it would be coming back to him, there would be a second chance.
Probably even a third, the universe usually did not let him off the hook, once something was meant to happen to him.

“I’ll be back” he promised, caressing the crumpled note with the directions to the writers corner in his pocket.

“Dude.” James leaned over and whispered at Harry. “He’s thinking it over. Wanna bet he’ll try it?”

Harry arched an eyebrow. “James, not on your life.”

“Whew, that was close” He took a deep breath and carefully stepped back, not wanting to ruin it all by tripping now.

Hey, you know, this creative writing thingy is way cool! I would not dare doing this in english, but I hope to find some time to write stuff for myself, just for fun!

(still wonderin’ what I would dance to “que sera”, though – sounds like a challenge)

Only if you dance on your head in April while naked and singing “Que Sera, Sera.” It was close. We’ll let you off the hook this time.

Shaking his head slightly Sam thought “oh Terry, every little detail can spoil a story, even little spelling errors – if they are too much”, but said nothing.

Terry would find out this for himself, one day.

(hey, I wrote ‘said’ – am I banned now?)
