writing & so forth.
Aug. 30th, 2005 07:20 pmI wrote something quickly the other night--expanding on that bit about 'Raise the Roof'--because the image of a field of stars wouldn't leave my head. I miss the country, just for that reason. (Don't know who "he" or "I" are; they're just to give context to the stars. This is otherwise contextless scene though, which I apparently am becoming the queen of.)
( as if i were trying to catch a star )
And then I found something on a disk that I wrote AGES ago. I like the first line better than anything else, though, so I'm making it into a writing challenge:
Write me something in the comments, beginning with It began with the biscuits. If you want the full sentence, take It began with the biscuits, ordinary tea biscuits in a rather small tin.
It can be anything, a scene, a poem, a memory, as long or short as you want, but write something.
Since i'm asking you too, I'll put what I wrote here as well; but my preference is, don't look at anyone else's bit before you write yours. Skip mine, don't read the comments--just post one.
( Biscuits. Read after you've written something... )
