You thought nobody noticed




This is what you need for the journey




Write about sleeping




I want to return to that place




You received a letter




It's what was left behind




Things to do on a Tuesday




Write what you try to forget




Write about a time you changed your mind




Once, with another woman …




Something stolen




While you were driving




How to get started writing? Write.




Write about the best of intentions




Write about a time you wanted to leave but couldn't




You're waiting...



Write about taking risks




There is a memory of a ____________







Write about a bed








You got it second hand





Natural talent and all the breaks in the world notwithstanding, to become good at anything you've got to do the drills.
