Well, just under a week to go, and I gotta admit - it's starting to get a little tough. It's tough to keep fiinding new places from which to take my inspiration - but today, something has been running through my head all day, and it's really kind of nice, so I'll write about that.
Sitting and talking,
quietly sharing of one another,
who I am, long to be,
things I want to accomplish.
Hearing and understanding the dreams of another,
and how they dovetail with mine.
Such a simple thing,
dinner conversation,
a little smile to let her know
I'm listening.
Never too much, don't want to look deperate,
but just enough to see if we can keep her interested -
just enough to know whether or not
I should keep trying.
But tomorrow is another chance,
to say the right thing, to perform the
right deed. Another chance at magic.
Thankd for reading,
The Fat Kid

In the final week of your third year of doing this...NOW it's getting a little tough??? I'll take that as a good sign. I'm not sure why, but I like today's entry. You've got a good knack for capturing a very brief moment, an action, dwelling a little on it to show that there's something special in individual moments, but not mining too deeply, leading the reader off to reflections of their own.
