Five Minute Friday: Write

On Five Minute Friday the rule is to write for five minutes on a particular prompt, then stop. No editing. This week's prompt is "Write."

GO

I admire those who write. Probably more than is healthy. I can't get over someone who can paint a picture and transport me into a story to the very brink of myself. Some people can write a character so well that when its time to close the book or shut off the TV I can cry for a week over it like they are real. Or, they can speak to you right where you are, draw you in and speak life.

I want to say thank you. Thank you to those who put themselves out there, who pushed past fear and schedules and expectations to offer a lifeline to those of us who will read. To whisper:

You are not crazy.

You are not alone.

I've been there too.

Thank you to those who encourage, exhort, or even yell when they probably had a million other things to do. I appreciate you more than you know.

STOP
