Today I timed myself, yet did not set a time limit. I would write until the thought was over. It seemed easier to not have the restriction of a clock timing me and my fingers thanked me. I still could not write as fast as the thoughts came to me. I ended up filling up two pages, single spaced some
lines only three words in 14 minutes.
The theme turned out to be a story again. Interestingly it is a story of a girl who feels betrayal and wants to confront the perpetrator. The walls are glass walls of a corridor in an office building. Not exactly where I thought this statement would go when I started the practice today. The creek in the middle of the corridor reflects the fluid of the picture window walls. The girl feels the need to cry and is so angry that the tears burn and do not fall. She wants to confront a woman that deceived her and she is stopped by the office assistant.
I liked this practice, so much that I called my sister and read it to her. I was excited and wanted to finish the story tonight! My careful critic, said she liked Day 1 more. She liked the silent sound of the
Savior in our life more than a sinister story of betrayal, loneliness and maybe revenge? I do not know I think I will let the story finish the words and have the character tell her part.
