The Curtains In My Bedroom
Writing excercise: describe in one sentence, the item to your immediate left.
The velvet curtains hang like long folds of chocolate, dripping into a puddle of shimmery, soft cocoa.
Funny, it makes me hungry, yet cozy. That was a fun excercise. I'm going to keep doing a few while I'm working out this writer's block. Now, what's to YOUR immediate left?

The daily calender is a paper representation of the days already gone by this year - the meetings, the phone calls, the holidays - and a memo of the blank days ahead, just waiting to be filled.

The remaining green stalk of a plant sat restlessly in the red dixie cup, sadly recalling its brothers and sisters who had not made it long after having been given to its master.

The cold blue reflection of light off the cylinder of my revolver, which is thankfully not loaded at the moment.

I hate to be the stickler, but it's SENTENCE and IMMEDIATE.

Once again, Joey lovingly corrects me in public.
It's fixed now though-- hope that soothes your grammatically ruffled feathers!

It's all about the love, WonderGirl.
