I can’t believe I didn’t get back to commenting. First thank you so much for participating. I am so glad you find this little prompt of mine worth taking part in.
Second, this was heart wrenching. And so concrete in its sadness and sorrow.
Third and most importantly, hang in there. You may think your writing isn’t up to par but that’s because you’re judging yourself harshly: I get it, I feel the same most of the time. I never think the writing measures up to the vision I had in my mind. It’s ok we’re imperfect 😉. And our writing reflects that.
I enjoy reading your prose 😊.

Thanks Stephanie.
Some stories I write so much in my mine, that when I finally put them on “paper,” as you say the written words are not what I had envisioned.

And thank you for the encouragement to keep clicking the post button. I wasn’t going to for awhile, but I think I have an addiction to prompts and posting.

I really like the illustration | image you’ve used ….. as for the sentence – ooff! sometimes the unforeseeable is just what it is ….

I was thinking of how severance means cutting off — cutting off love, cutting off life — I like the image — it works so well for broken hopes and dreams.

the meaning of severance works and translates well, although as a word in the piece, it is unusual – it would most likely be severed or cut slashed etc. – but it’s fine to choose the road | word less taken :)

I have habit of making up and misusing words. I guess I make up meanings or stretch what I look up. I was trying to think of severance of life — guess it really didn’t work. So often my writing doesn’t.

no no no …… don’t be thinking that …. at all …… it’s not “perfect” in this case – but it’ll do ….. and there is nothing wrong with stretching or pushing boundaries …. at all …. and may be, it’s just a question of “positioning” …. as in you used it the first time – and that is clear – but it would amplify the weight of the first meaning if you used slashed or severed – but even that implies a complete cutting through and through …. anyhow, enough about the nitty gritty …. as long as you are playing with words, then be happy about it :)

Not feeling confident in my writing — hell, I don’t like my writing at all. So, if I seem sensitive it’s because I’m aware of how much better everyone out there puts the words and emotions together. And, what a shitty job I do.

nope. nope. nope. I’m not “buying this” and believe me, I’m a damn hard sell, so it’ll be a cold day in hell before I accept your sales pitch.
But I understand, really – because right now, that’s just how you’re feeling, for lots of different reasons …. but in my heart, nope, you and I both know it ….. not true. So….. for now, it’s okay – feel it – hell, write me a post …. let it rip and just go to town in necessary …. but this will pass.

I’m trying journaling — something I don’t do — to see if I can keep writing and not loose this life line until I feel the dreck has passed, if it passes.
Thanks for the vote for confidence.

whatever works …. I found that when I was totally feeling at my worst, even when it still comes rushing in – just spewing (and no one gets to read it) and leaving the file closed, at least, helped rid me of some of my anger, fury, frustration, pain, grief etc. And then, later on, sometimes I’d go back and scan, or I’d just junk it – cause I already knew of the patterns etc. So I hope it works for you too ….. whatever works …. give it a try – you never know what might just help keep you afloat …..
always ….((((Lorraine)))

Thinking of making it a private affair. I was honest today (or mostly) which meant admitting to some personal stuff and I’m not crazy about doing that in public!
But if I just write it on the computer — then I’m not really putting myself on the line. I don’t know if that makes any sense. Why a private blog versus just more files on the computer. But it does to my warped mind.

no – I do understand ….. so whatever works … private posts, blog etc. just do what it takes or you think might help you get through some of the rougher patches ….
