P is for Pining

Are there any good stories (any real stories) without it?







































I don't think so. Happy writing!

Pining is key! I don't think there is a story without it - or at least not a GOOD story!

Melissa Marsh said...

Ahhhh...I do love a good story about pining. :-)

As in life so in fiction and on screen...they say a picture speaks a 1000words, I think yours together say the same thing a million different ways. :) thanks for visiting.

So true! That is a key ingredient for a story line with romance. Great choice in pics!

@Laura: Isn't a singed heart so wonderfully painful?

@Melissa: Exactly!

I'm loving your articles - original and fun and insightful. Great choice here - 'Pining'! It's so true - are there any stories without in some element to some degree? As consumers of such stories, what is it about us that so loves to see someone pine? Shah. X
