Acknowledgement lucastorquato27.deviantart.com I wasn't at my best, hot, bothered, coughing, feeling sick. But that's the time she chose. We hadn't had a real talk, the way she wants, for a while. Evidently, I had been working, making progress, trying to move forward, damn. The shimmer around her was an omen of what was to follow: the … Continue reading A witness in the night

Hesitate #WritersWednesday
Today's prompt "You have to tell the truth," she said, serious and mocking at the same time, "the truth about me, the person I am, not the one you would wish me to be!" I was a little peeved about that statement. I thought I was truthful, without hesitation about her qualities and shortcomings, … Continue reading Hesitate #WritersWednesday
Clean #amwriting
The Prompt Each day some words appear on the page, tentative, surrounded in mist, as if those words emerged from a cloudy landscape, as yet unformed. Summoning a clean page let the characters know: they are not alone, more life is being breathed into their world, a genesis. Their impatience is a testimony to their … Continue reading Clean #amwriting
Conundrum #DailyPost #WritersWednesday
When is a logical proposition a conundrum? Well, is there such a thing as the writer's conundrum? That would be, perhaps, a logical proposition as to the role of writers, their responsibility, their freedom. Isn't it the case that, for example, a writer whose inspiration is drawn from the society of her time, somehow … Continue reading Conundrum #DailyPost #WritersWednesday
Disagree #DailyPost #WritersWednesday
Inspired by today's prompt "It's me you're babbling about, isn't it?" she said, on a tone of voice that betrayed her mounting anger. I kept silent, no point in denying: the computer screen clearly showing the latest entry on her story was there, in front of us. At this point she was arguing with her … Continue reading Disagree #DailyPost #WritersWednesday
Buddy #TheDailyPost #amwriting
Publish a new post on your blog interpreting the theme. (S)he follows me everywhere: in these pages, at the gym, at the supermarket, on the long walks on the Downs, in airports, in the canyons... His - or her - face has changed a little in time, but not that much. It may have been … Continue reading Buddy #TheDailyPost #amwriting
Survival #TheDailyPost #amwriting
Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt. April was a blessing, a trip to a far away and remote country we love, meeting fascinating people, and that reflective time that a writer always needs. Of course there was the challenge, but we had planned for it. It was fun. The truth is … Continue reading Survival #TheDailyPost #amwriting
Fight #TheDailyPost
Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt. It took me a long time, to understand who you were, and how it was that you came to us now, reminding me of a nearly all forgotten past. Sarah and you are one, even if herself did not see that when you … Continue reading Fight #TheDailyPost
Sentimental #TheDailyPost
Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt. Sentimental you are, for sure, and just loving to keep things in their place too. So that no genuine feeling gets lost, in the tumult of daily life. So, you want clarity, you there, me here, or at least some place. Just in case something … Continue reading Sentimental #TheDailyPost
As a #writer, is #Facebook useful to me?
Today, a very good friend of mine, in real life as well as in cyberspace, quitted her Facebook account, which she created in 2009. She said to me she no longer had time to keep her page up to date, even to the minimum level that would be of interest to her "friends". And she … Continue reading As a #writer, is #Facebook useful to me?
