Thank you for sharing Rusty with me. I got to know Him and Miss Fanny well. Telling your story is like having you sitting with me and sharing their antics.

I wonder how Fanny felt when she first saw Rusty? I'm interested in her body language. Did her mouth drop open, or she take in a huge breath, or did she shiver with emotions when she realized Rusty's tail was so damaged or did she tremble when she saw the condition of his fur? When he finally came into the kitchen did she feel tingling or some adrenalin rush? Did her hands cover her mouth or did her knees feel weak?

Showing a character's reactions is better than telling about them because it brings the reader into the story. Telling the story keeps the reader outside of the story looking in instead of them experiencing the story.

Thank you for writing and for sharing your word art with me and WDC members.
