In a departure from my usual Don't Buy Me a Coffee note, there's someone and somewhere I’d love to point your attention to.
Somewhere with smoking guns, tight, almost claustrophobic Gibraltar alleyways, a hip flask, and a man: Jack, searching for meaning and love. And what it truly means to be a gentleman.
She doesn’t have a “Buy Me a Coffee” link, but she does have a Substack — full of what she calls “steamy historical femme scribbling in the shadows”.
I can’t do it the full justice here — just go read it.ㅤ

Let yourself be pulled in.
She’ll take it from there, and sometimes it's not just the heat from the guns that are keeping the scenes heated!
I can;t thank you enough for this Mark! So very kind, and I adore this idea of the text awaiting the reader!
"The end of a thread that never really ends". This is how I feel with everything I write.
Thanks Margaret, and I feel that too often. Maybe that’s just how writing goes.
We can ask each other in 5,10, 25 years :)
The pattern:
A winter walk. People at a bus stop. Some noise. Dialog rephrasing.
(Auditorial info for the blind on TV is just that short, by the way.)
Perfect to let the reader guess between the lines.
Example: cutting scene from my own LinkedIn post:
Memories. Snowing a little, getting late. Leaving.
People: „Is that all you brought into here as a jacket?“
Them: saying something kidding
Me: „??!!“ looking at the stuff I took there to keep me warm
Them: maybe shivering a little, not saying though
Interpretation up to the reader…
Exactly Daniela and lovely
Never fails! Brilliant!
Thank you soooo much Mahmoud 💛
Thanks Sulaiman. That's exactly right. Have you ever found a moment where starting again felt just like the end of another story?
