Tell me about the worst thing anyone has ever said to you: a phrase you'll never forget. Paint the day it happened, how those words made you feel, and why you think you will, or won't, ever be absolved of their impact on you.

*sneezes* It's allergy season, and my body will not let me forget it. Figuratively or literally, what are you allergic to? What are its effects? Most importantly, is the shift in season worth suffering for? Write about it. *blows nose*

Can you close your eyes and just...write? Let the blackness clear the way for words. Don't think, don't pause, and don't polish it in the end. Your fingers, a tool for your most convoluted emotions. No form, no rhyme, nor reason...let them flow. It's an odd experience, and I'm curious to see what you guys come up with using this method. Tag me.
