Write On Wednesdays - Waiting......

'Time' for another Write on Wednesday! This week, for the first time, I was stumped. Usually I write my prompt at the top of the page and away I go, but this week I sat and waited....and waited.....and waited. My mind was a blank. Finally, after fits and starts, I managed to get going. So, appropriately I think, this week post is about waiting.



Write On Wednesdays Exercise 8 - The clock winked...Write the words "The clock winked" at the top of your page. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Write the first words that come into your head after the prompt. Stop when the buzzer rings. Do this exercise over and over if you wish. Write beyond 5 minutes if you like, you can link it up as an extra post.

The Clock Winked........

slowly, slowly, oh, so slowly. Why did time have the habit of slowing down when all she wanted it to do was hurry up?

'C'mon' she whispered under her breath...egging time on.

Knees jiggling, toes tapping, fingers fidgeting.

She watched the clock, her eyes watering - slipping in and out of focus. Her mind awash with the excitement of what was to come. The possibilities. The expectations. Scenarios all playing like a film in her imagination.

Her heart pounded loudly in her ears. She was nervous, exhilarated. How she longed to be free from the confines of these walls, to escape from the stifling heat of the room, to be where she was desperately eager to be....at the rendezvous...with her heart in her hand.
