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.

Cheesecake

Okay, okay, I may have said I write sad poems, but I’ll be honest. I write words, that’s it. I sometimes will get an ache right in the middle of my chest, and for no particular reason I feel like I should grab a pen. Then, I don’t know, I kind of just jumble out a cacophony of words that are sort of like a stream of consciousnes - I don’t know if you’ve read Hemingway - anyways, that’s sort of the best way to describe it in layman’s terms.

What do you mean really? That’s how I write! Okay, okay I guess it does seem hard to understand. But, what I write isn’t about the kind of writing it is, it’s like I’m literally ripping a piece of my soul out and pressing it to paper. I write what I feel, and I feel every second of what I write.

What’s that look for? You’re the one who asked me!

Okay, just drink your wine, I want desert. How do you feel about cheesecake?
