Creative Writing
Continuing to try my hand at non-argumentative writing, I've posted a few things on a writers' website called ReadWave. Most are "regular" submissions; some are for their weekly writing challenges. The most recent subject is "It happened in a minute. Here's my offering. (If you "like" it, I could win... nothing.)
And here's another, for their previous challenge, on "The first time." (The picture above is, as you'll see, particularly relevant.)
It's fun for me, if mostly inconsequential; but no doubt healthier than the shit I post here most of the time.
