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.
