anticipating,
the frisson of the unknown,
is better than knowing
Copyright 2019 Brenda Davis Harsham
Notes: Isn’t the best part of a present the excitement of not knowing what’s inside?
Writing Tip: That excitement is what writers should tap when crafting stories. And the ending should be like opening the package and finding what you most want inside.
Happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow! I hope you are enjoying the anticipation of the holiday.

Yes, we had fun, treats and hugs. And squabbling, but I know how to appreciate that, too. 😉

Thanks! My hubby actually gave me flowers early, and I found I was disappointed to not have the two extra days to anticipate. How surprising that was. But I do love the flowers, whenever they come.

“Frisson” is an awesome word! I have to think more about whether anticipating is better than knowing, but I can certainly agree that anticipation can enhance enjoyment!
