#Glimmers

I especially like it when my own writing gives me a glimmer. For instance I wrote this the other day:

“Who abused you, Jorie?”

“That awful man they want me to marry. Can you help me find a decent husband before my parents find me?”

“A life commitment isn’t something to make on impulse,” Sylvie said. She heard Tor choking in the background. She turned to him. “That was different.”

Trying to keep from laughing, Tor held his breath, turned a little blue and hurriedly went to the bedroom and closed the door where the two women heard muffled noises.

“Is he all right?” Jorie asked. “I don't mean to criticize, but he seems a bit odd.”

“He was trying not to laugh at me telling someone else not to marry impulsively.”

That scene just makes me smile. I try to include glimmer moments in my writing no matter how dark the story gets.
