It was CowgirlBrumby's "The Beach House". I remember the details because it was a competition entry a while back. From a quick look at her profile I think she took it down from here because it's now an e-book.

The way my husband looked appealed to me in the beginning (mostly) so I didn't really need/want to change how he dressed. I hated his hair though. It's blonde and he wore it down to his shoulders which made him look girlier than me. He ended up cutting it a couple of months after we started seeing each other and has worn it really short ever since. I didn't have to say anything, but I might have suggested it if he'd kept it long.

Hi, quietdesire. Unfortunately I've had to remove the story from your opening post as stories aren't permitted to appear on site until they've been approved by a moderator.
As cocokisses mentioned, it's best to PM the verifier/moderator who removed your story if you wish to discuss it further. You also would have been given a reason/reasons why your story wasn't accepted so you know which areas to focus on.
There are articles in the Writer's Resources forum and lots of advice in Morgan Hawke's forum to help you better your writing. You can also post threads in the Ask the Author forum if you'd like to discuss any writing problems you're having.

My first car was a 1973 (I think) Ford Escort. If you imagine a car like the one in this picture but much crappier, and in red, that's about what mine looked like. I bought it for $1000 and my brother (a mechanic) had to rebuild the engine before I could drive it. It had a rubber glove covering some part of the engine - I can't remember which one - because it kept stalling every time water got under the car when it rained heavily. I also used to have to scrape ice from the inside of the window in winter and the heater never worked in the four years I had it. I loved that car though. It had...character. And no power steering. My arms used to get a good workout from driving.

I started writing a multi-chapter story that fizzled out into nothing and throughout the process I learned it's better (for me) to not post any chapters until I've finished writing the whole series. It put too much pressure on me to keep going and I lost interest in the story.
I'm two chapters in with a new story now and I'm better motivated this time around because I'm more focused on the writing than worrying about keeping people waiting.
I've outlined the story and know generally where I'm headed. I'll have to wait to see if it turns out the way I intended!

As a person who was born in 1960 in middle America and during a period of time when belts, green tree branches (switches), rolled up newspapers or magazines, fly swatters, lengths garden hose, fan belts and wooden 'paddles' were being used extensively on my young friends (and a few times on myself) by my parents - I would have to say that beating on your own child to prevent that child from bullying or beating on another child...
Is one of the worst forms of teaching solutions or rectifying situations, ever devised by adult parents who have difficulty reasoning themselves when their own anger or displeasure is irked.
In America...there is this thing called a juvenile detention center where 'we' put kids who grow up wanting to take advantage of weaker kids. Hopefully they will get some guidance and education there which their own parents did not know how to teach them previously. They may well receive the necessary counseling to help ease the violence they have suffered from their corporal punishment doling parents, so that the violence tendency is tamped down or extinguished altogether.
I applaud you for this post Jeff.
As a mother of 3 children, that have not been spanked, beaten with various items (like I and many others were) I have managed to raise very well behaved, kind, thoughtful, respectful children. They, unlike myself, did not have to learn through fear. When they were little I got an earful, from many people, about how children need to be disciplined (physically punished) and how I would regret my choice to parent with love and logic. I never did. IMO, resorting to physical punishment is just lazy parenting or a losing self-control. Children learn through example. If you have a bully on your hands, take a good look at yourself and the example you are putting out there for them.
I agree with you both. We're raising three boys and tend to find the more time we spend with them having conversations, playing games, listening to what they have to say etc, the better they behave.
There's something missing in the life of a bully and his/her parents are usually too busy or don't care enough to figure out what it is.
It's also easier to bully now, which may be why it's more prevalent. Mobile phones, the Internet and other forms of technology make it much simpler (and more effective) for kids with too much time on their hands and too little guidance from their parents to get up to no good.
