Challenge of the Week
Alright, you brilliant beasts. To kick off the first $25 Weekly Challenge, we're keeping it easy and exact. Suuuure..... Most of us have been in this spot, asked the question, so we'll frame a setting. Here goes. You're on a first date with a person you met online. There's attraction there, but you're still trying to figure out if the chemistry is physical AND mental. The person across the table asks you what kind of writing you do, and when you give them a genre, they say, in one way or another, "Describe your writing to me." This week's challenge is to answer that question here. The winner will be decided by likes on this one.
My Writing
I hesitate
I take a shaky breath as he waits
Papers of answers fill my mind as I contemplate
"My writing is an impulse"
The words bring up the speed of my pulse
I look up, expecting him to look repulsed
Instead he tilts his head for me to finish
I continue my deliverance
"My writing is a resistance
To my own regrets
To the world
To my own mind
My writing is a hive for the words I could never say to my own spite
Because all the words I could never say are the beginning ideas for what I will write"
