I remember the song, but wasn't thinking about it when I wrote the story. If I had, I would have worked it in somehow. Maybe when I wrote Bette’s story?
Fred, I love so much about this story. I wish I could put into words how much. You write so effortlessly bringing your characters to life. I felt for both Norm and Bette.
This fine story about Bette (how could we ever forget Bette?) revolves around Dusty Springfield's rendition of a great song called "The Look of Love", and it all tightly woven together by it. In fact, I like that song so much, I'll quote it here:
You're quite the storyteller, captivating from first line to last.💙
Thank you Pernoste. I appreciate your opinion.
Thank you, Geraldine, for the restack.
My childhood buddy was very similar to Norm. thanks
May we all find a Bette.
Reminds me of the Kim Carnes song:
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes
I remember the song, but wasn't thinking about it when I wrote the story. If I had, I would have worked it in somehow. Maybe when I wrote Bette’s story?
Norm and Bette were a match made in lust, perhaps.
Thank you also Paul for the restack.
My friend used to say his idea of exercise was reading next to an open window...
Thank you, Deni, for the restack.
Thank you, Kathleen, for the restack.
Fred, I love so much about this story. I wish I could put into words how much. You write so effortlessly bringing your characters to life. I felt for both Norm and Bette.
I can relate to this story, Fred, especially to the character of Norm.
Thanks Paul. I'll never tell…;)
🤣
Thank you, Kathleen. Unfortunately, I don't write effortlessly. This story, although short, went through several renditions before I posted it.
That's a lot of work Fred, but worth it for all of us. It's Obvious that you have had this talent and have encouraged it and worked on it for years..
Thank you, Kathleen, I'm a slow learner and still at it.
Hey Fred, I belong to that slow learner club. Also, I could actually be the president of it.
Nah, I'm older than you and slower. My memory is a sieve…here today, gone tomorrow. Best that….
Dang. Poor Norm. Would be interesting to see him from a pov other than his own. Nice character sketch of a kinda sketchy guy! 🤣🥰
Maybe Better left behind a diary with juicy dirt about Norm?
Yeah! Wonder what Bette had to say about our guy… 🤣
I guess I'll have to write that story, but bear in mind, Bette was Norm's female other. In short, she had no shortage of lovers.
It’s not easy to write from the other gender’s pov- I suppose I am just curious to know more about your characters. 🤔
Your piece Look of Love is an interesting look at love. Well done.
Thanks Joan, I'll tell Norm.
This fine story about Bette (how could we ever forget Bette?) revolves around Dusty Springfield's rendition of a great song called "The Look of Love", and it all tightly woven together by it. In fact, I like that song so much, I'll quote it here:
"The look of love is in your eyes
The look your heart can't disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away."
Thank you, Martin, for your kind review. As always, I appreciate it.
