Thunder

It's thundering and lightning outside my window. I didn't know it was supposed to storm tonight. I suppose, living in Nebraska and all, that one would expect it to storm any night of the week.

The storm took me by surprise and for the first time, I'm not sure how I feel about it's coming. It feels ominous rather than cleansing. I don't want to go outside and take in the sounds and smells as I normally do. Instead, I want to hide under a blanket.

But I go outside anyway, and I find that it's just another summer thunderstorm. And my imagination is still a little too active.

Thank you for the invite to this lovely group. Hopefully, I can manage to put up some sort of intelligent writing. I really can't promise to do so; having an 8 year old running around manages to fry my few remaining brain cells most of the time.

Oh, and can I just say how I love your writing style Manda. You are very concise but also very descriptive. A very hard feat to pull off. I tend to be too wordy.

You are most welcome! Any kind of writing is welcome, so don't worry! Even if it's your 8-year olds stories...bring 'em on!

And thank you for the writing style comment. Brevity is definitely not my strong suit, so that's kind of what I'll be focusing on with my writings here.
