      Hi Jeff!

      I have written my very first short story, Hooper in "The Writing Workshop/Short Stories/General Fiction."

      I have posted a new version as a reply to the original post.

      I now have better paragraph formatting and a better overall story structure.

      I'm still unsteady with the use of present-tense thoughts of the MC with his past-tense narration.

      I've seen many references that italics are fine for this kind of dialog, others that do not. A couple said to just use the italics on short sentences, which I have.

      Most of my writing has been in poetry, so the use of separate lines of italicized thoughts makes a lot of sense to me.

      If you get a chance, would you please take a look and let me know what you think?

      Thanks,
      Larry
