i attended the first of hopefully many sessions with a new writing group
and
i
was
so
excited....
even though i had a pounding headache
and
a 45 minute drive both ways
it was still amazing.
you know that feeling when you feel "got" by other people.
i had that feeling.
one of the exercises was stream of consciousness using a single word
given to you by the person on your right...
with a one minute time limit.
mine was steady.
"Do you want to go steady?" she said.
I turned towards her with surprise on my face.
"Steady?" I said. "Steady as in date exclusively,
as in you will be my one and only,
my shot in the dark, my penguin? Steady?
Do penguins go steady do you think? I wish
I knew more about the mating habits of penguins..."
I looked at her.
She looked away.
"Never mind", she said.
