I need some comments on this.

I started writing my story today. I didn't get a whole lot, but I liked what I did write. Here's an excerpt:

She had met him only the day before... but she already knew that she loathed everything about him. She could tell because whenever she thought about him her face flushed, snow geese migrated in her belly, and her heart felt like it was strapped to rodeo bronco.

So, for the record, my description of her feelings doesn't sound anything like hate, does it? It's not supposed to.

Input greatly appreciated.

i think we know she doesn't "hate" him... more like hates to love him, or likes to loathe him, right?
: ) and i really like the snow geese migrating in her belly!

I agree with Wahida's take on this passage. Also, is this a story set in the West? Seems like it, with the geese and bronco imagery...

yeah this is definitely good! And i definitely knew she was feeling quite the opposite of hate! lol
