The Manager
How had she missed them?
Ally could barely hide her surprise when Stacey and Diana joined the Huddle circle, both with those telltale coffee cups in hand. Warming for them perhaps, but seeing those unmistakable paper cups gave Ally an insta…

I am honored to welcome you to <em>Talking Story;</em> you have given your leadership to such a fabulous community of authors with #FridayFlash. You may enjoy my next try at this, for I decided that Ally would be the protagonist of my story tomorrow!

I greatly appreciate receiving your thoughts and feel so encouraged. And ‘belated” is perfectly fine and warmly welcomed; blogs are wonderful that way in continuing thought and conversations don’t you think? I too will be using #FridayFlash as a kind of RSS reader the rest of the week I know, for that Friday through Sunday timeframe can be a challenge to engage online with. Plus I tend to read and then return later when I feel I have a value-add comment versus an impulsive or gratuitous one. I did read your entry called <a href="http://www.danpowellfiction.com/2009/08/impact-fridayflash.html" rel="nofollow">“Impact”</a> and I won’t spoil it for other readers here by sharing too much about it, but I will say that I so admired your brevity with the ability to still tell a fabulous story. I also noticed your generosity in <a href="http://www.danpowellfiction.com/2009/08/friday-flash-report_29.html" rel="nofollow">sharing a full #FridayFlash index</a> too; true community engagement! It is a true pleasure for me to meet you here at my place too, for so many reasons; <i>mahalo nui loa</i>. Thank you so much Dan! I greatly appreciate receiving your thoughts and feel so encouraged.

With a little bit of perception, Ally would realize there is trouble brewing in paradise. You capture the frustration of her workers very well. Welcome to #fridayflash.

You are all so supportive and encouraging, and very generous in your welcome to the #FridayFlash community. I write a lot, including journaling, but fiction is a new, uncharted territory for me and I admit to having been nervous about this – you have all been kind, but it’s clear I have much to learn! I can tell that learning more with all of you will be a pleasure; mahalo for sharing your aloha as you have. Still early morning for me, and coffee now in hand, so I’m now off to read all of your entries as well! This is going to be a wonderful new Saturday morning habit :-) Thank you so much Laura, Chris and 2mara for being my first #FridayFlash commenters!

I would never had spoken up either. I would just grit my teeth and take it in every day. I am lucky I work from home, and the other members of my conference calls can't see the ridiculous faces I make... to keep it "interesting" :-) Hope to see you again on Fridays! ~2 I’ll take an extra shot… got anything stronger than espresso?
