A glimpse of what matters to this writer most and what makes her heart beat a little faster
You can find my writing for #fridayflash right here in: The Creative Writing Corner of Estrella Azul category ;)
I would appreciate any constructive criticism you can offer, and thank you so much for reading!
I saw how happy they were with each other, even though on paper it wouldn’t seem that way.
She was an artist with a true Pollyanesque heart, he was a realistic, straightforward guy. He liked classical music, it made her ears bleed. She was an introvert wishing nothing more than to stay at home with a good book, he was a complete extrovert always up for going out, partying with friends.
Yet… they worked. Wonderfully.
very good 
… Nice to find a fellow flash fiction advocate on here! keep it up
Thank you! And yes, nice to meet new people, especially writers
Very sweet.
Thanks, Jeremy!
I’m guessing they have… other things… in common.
Like crossword puzzles.
Your comment just made me laugh aloud. Thanks, Tony, glad you liked the flash
Seeing as the wife & I are opposites in many ways, and we’re still together after 28 years, I’d say you nailed it!
I have to disclose I wasn’t thinking of you and your wife when I wrote this. But it is why I love writing slice of life Thank you for the reassurance!
As they say … you should never judge a book by its cover. Nice story. A lot of meaning for so few words.
Nope, one really shouldn’t. Thank you, Natalie!
Wow Estrella, aside from the classical music (it would be early – mid 70s bubble gum instead) you just told the story of my husband and me. Great job!
Thanks, Deanna, you’re so sweet! How long have you two been married?
I was aiming for only six sentences and didn’t want to overdo it, but now that people keep telling me this could be their story, I feel like I should’ve added a “married for X years” somewhere in the flash
Opposites certainly attract. Very nice story!
They certainly do. Thanks, Eric!
What a great story in so few words. Great job!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Really nice story.
Thank you, Jack!
That was alovely story, Estrella.
And the video gave me a chuckle.

Thanks!
I’m late to this party – although it seems he’s always up for another party, so maybe it’s OK. This is nicely done, Estrella. I love the completeness you bring to the picture – with just a few pencil strokes. My favorite form of art.
Kevin, you’re so sweet. Thanks for dropping by and letting me know you like the flash!
