Looking back,
It’s always been you.
It seems only appropriate that I post something for the last daily prompt
Retrospective (interesting note, the actual link says “afterthought” not retrospective)
Six Words for Love
Letters from inside my head
Short n sweet
Yep, I actually wrote and wrote for something longer but it just wasn’t working … This was what came the most naturally
Don’t you hate that. I often find i get stuck deciding on a phrase or two, the impetuses of the whole piece, and I’m determined to keep them, only to eventually realize they don’t fit with what i ended up writing
Yes, sometimes it takes on its own life but that’s the beautiful thing about it right?
Something good can indeed come out of it, but frustrating if it takes hours to realize it
Maybe it’s because I’m the type of person who will sit at my desk daydreaming but I don’t necessarily mind if it takes hours. Then again I’ll also get up and walk away from something if it’s taking really long then come back later with a fresh perspective.
I noticed that, too, with afterthought, but the link does take you to a retrospective page, not an afterthought page, which is the really weird part
It does, I imagine they’ve maybe used retrospective before and that’s why
Straight to the point. Nice.
Yes, thank you! I appreciate it
It’s my pleasure! And I read your above comment. Isn’t it great when the words take their own route?
It is! I’ve found it’s kind of a simple pleasure, I guess, in being able to let them go where they need to and end where they want to. Giving up control there is kind of freeing.
I feel a similar way! I still consider myself new to writing, and the more I let the words have freedom, the more I start to see what my writing style may be. And usually it’s most enjoyable.
I agree! I found that I like my own writing better (and I hope others do too) when I don’t try to fit it into certain pre-determined styles.
I know I do! And I wonder the same about my writing. I believe writing is best when it’s honest–and talent helps too! Lol
Beautiful
Thank you for reading!
My pleasure Kelley
Short and simple but the emotion is overflowing. I like it! 🙂
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
If I had a nickel for every time I’d said that…. 🙂
Hopefully you would be a rich man 🙂
