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.

How I write, Why I write, When I write.

I don't know if it's how I write. It's why I write.

But maybe it's why everyone writes i don't know.

I'm dramatic as shit, and I have too much time to think.

I've begun to recognize the voices in my head.

Sometimes I try to write how I see, if that helps.

But it's never been about how to me. That changes with the weather.

It's always been about why.

And I write about why.

I write just to figure out why.

I write until I find out why.

Shit. you see the dramatic yet?

Anyway, it's like I got thoughts and I wanna share them. And in writing is the way to go. If they don't wanna listen to you, you don't have to stop writing, they can just stop reading. And somebody, somewhere, will. Maybe. And you can always go back and read, even when you're different.

If I forget what I'd been thinking, I can go back and read, and it's like old me is talking to fture me. and I can add. well, this is what we know now.

And sometimes, I can't speak if I wanted to. Usually when I'm mad. Sometimes, I can't speak until I figure out why, so I write. And sometimes, speaking's not enough.

But I think this was a pretty darn good example of what it's like

when I write.
