Excerpt:

Kyle went over to his desk and turned on his computer. It blinked on, a blue glow in the relative dimness. But Kyle didn’t start working. He just stared blankly at the computer, all the thoughts going through his mind. He stared so long, the computer fell asleep again. He didn’t notice until much later.

Thoughts:

Slowly clambering over the HUMONGOUS writer’s block I have.  A little bit at a time.

Working Title: Beautiful Things

Word Count: 1,666

Excerpt:

The girl that Josh had become friends with almost a decade ago had been a chaotic whirl of emotions and laughter and rapid-fire intelligence, who could gossip about the latest celebrity scandal and in the next breath discuss economic trends in the tech industry, leaving his mind reeling and his heartbeat pounding and a grin on his face. The unnaturally still girl in the small bedroom next to his couldn’t have been more different.

Thoughts:

I know where I’m supposed to be going with the story.  It’s fully formed in my mind.  It’s strange how difficult it is for me to write it out.  Usually the words just flow out, but for this story, the words just take their time, slowly dripping out one by one.
