The kids are playing in the yard. There’s a thud thud thud sound as they jump on the cover of the sandbox shaped like a boat. Lots of laughter.
The low sun at the end of a spring day paints beautiful, long shadows across the lawn. It’s warm on our skin, but gets chilly when the breeze blows.
Days are finally warm enough for the neighbor’s cat to wander out and about.
“Lucy!” Cece yells, full of excitement, as she sees her mosey into our yard.
“Woosee!” Theo echoes. He continues to call her name the entire time she’s with us.
The kids just adore her. They want to pet her every time they see her nearby. She likes to hang out around our yard because we have chipmunks that burrow under our back porch. Some days she stalks, other days she just watches from the sidelines. I’m not sure if she’s ever gotten one, but it’s very likely.
Lucy is the kind of cat you want for your own family. She’s relaxed, calm, friendly, and personable. She loves the attention from the kids, and the kids love giving her attention. We teach them to be gentle, but being children sometimes they can be quite rough. And she doesn’t mind any of it.
They pet her, pick flowers for her, try to hug her. Talking to her the whole time.
“Lucy!” “Woosee!”

I love the use of language and writing style in this post. Is there somewhere you learnt to write like this, or is it natural? Any resources you can share?

Thanks for the kind words. I don’t have any resources really. I just try to do a lot of reading of things written in a style I’d like to write in. Then start writing by mimicking that style. And the more I actually write the better the words and language seems to come out, and more natural it becomes.
For something like this, look into some creative writing lessons/articles if you’re looking for resources. I don’t have any to share unfortunately, but I’m certain there’s good ones out there.
