Thank you! Not surprisingly, I got the idea while waiting at a red light one afternoon, lol. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment - I just finished reading yours, but had to dash off to work. I'll leave a comment (you have an impressive talent) tomorrow morning after I've had some coffee and remember who I am. Gotta head off to bed now, though. Was just checking in after work.

Thanks again - you gave me a lovely ending to the day and a smile to take into dream-land!

I'm glad I could do that. Ideas come in numerous ways.
Thank you for reading my book. I really appreciate it.

Thank you, Glynis! One gets some rather unusual ideas while sitting at red lights, lol! I really appreciate your encouraging comment - as always. You're wonderful. ')

Thank you so much - what a lovely comment! I really appreciate that a bunch; you're the best! ')

:D

Thank you, Paula. I'm so glad you like it! And by the way, thanks for all the informative, inspirational, and timely posts you put up on Facebook. I always look forward to seeing what you've shared! You're the best!

thank you - glad you like. I'm glad I caught your link while I'm over here - always love your stuff!

Wow, thank you! It seems I get my best stories from the most mundane circumstances, lol. Of course, I wouldn't be able to think of any of my stuff as any good if it weren't for the kind, encouraging feedback I get from others who, like you, are devoted and talented writers. Thanks again - a big hug to you!

Lol! Thanks so much, Chris! I live in Florida where many of the traffic lights sit on red for two or more minutes, and I found myself wishing I could get all that time back. So who knows? Maybe we can! ')

I live in area with an untold amount of traffic lights, so I have every reason to pray you're right, Judy. ;D

Better start keeping track now.

That they, do, John! And thank you so very much for the extremely encouraging comment!

A few years ago I never could have written a short story, but thanks to you and the other writers here who have taken the time to share their thoughts, suggestions and ideas, I've learned it's possible to tell a tale in under 450,000 words, lol. I really appreciate you and all the lovely comments you've shared - as well as your stories, which themselves have taught me more about good short-story writing than an expensive college course.

Thank you so much for saying that! It all began - duh - as I was sitting at a red light. I was giving my son a ride to work, and having gotten caught at this particular light that's nearly a full two minutes long, I said, "Hey, Dave. Wouldn't it be cool if we could somehow get back all the minutes we were forced to waste sitting at red lights?" So naturally, by the time I got back home, I had the whole story done in my head, and had no choice but to write it down, lol.

Anyway, thanks again - I needed that, and you're very kind. ')

Oh I love to hear things like that!! It makes it seem like the story has a life of its own and was searching for someone to write it down:)

Lol, I think you're right. My book "Kex" came about the same way - I saw a license plate on the car in front of me with the letters KEX on it, and thought, "Huh. What a great name for a character." So I began thinking about it, and by the time I got home, I had decided what to write, and pretty much neglected my life and family for the next several hours until it was done. Weird. I'm sure lots of writers get their stories that way - not sure how it works, but it makes me smile when it does.

Now, if the next Great American Novel would occur to me the next time I go to the store...

Thanks, Stanley. I've continued to pray for you, by the way, and appreciate the updates you give us, even when they aren't the greatest news. At least we have some idea of what's going on and what to pray for. 'D
