She knew she shouldn’t have worn it. But she needed to see if she could dance in it. Well, she certainly had her answer. But the question now was what to do? Her instructor called her attention back to the task at hand, the international rumba routine for the show. She had lots of dips and sexy poses with new arm styling. How was she going to manage with this stupid strapless bra hanging just under her breasts? She looked like a cow with her udder exposed. Strange no one seemed to notice her dilemma.
“Just a sec,” she said as she turned away from the wall of mirrors. Quickly, she thrust her hands under the folds of her magenta tunic with the crocheted straps and pulled the offending bra down. She stepped out of it and tossed it on the nearest table then raced back to her instructor.
She missed the shocked look of the new female instructor teaching on the other side of the studio. Her instructor, a seasoned pro, only smiled while they both tried to ignore her husband’s jaw, which had dropped to the floor.
“Okay,” she said. “Shall we take it from the top?”

Teaching: Writing And The Short Story Writer
Image via Wikipedia
It is my experience as a teacher and an editor that the writing of the short story cannot be taught. Here’s my reasoning. An instructor can give a writer examples, guidelines and definitions; but the actual mixture of personal experience, talent, dedication and perseverance that is needed to become good at writing stories can only come from the writer.
Writing cannot be taught. It can only be learned.

Well, I haven’t taken my walk yet so it’s time. The sun is still brightly shinning and I’ll take my small notebook with me in case I’m struck with an idea to blog about. Anyway, I’m out of green tea.

Flash fiction captures a significant moment in time and gives it closure. Closure can be a change in direction, an epiphany or a summation.
PS: There are a lot of mainstream, literary and erotic stories on this blog but there is only one porn story. “A Porn Star Is Born” is at the top of the page.
