I should write more

This week, I'm upping my game. Taking on a challenge. Being Creative (with an intentional capital "C"). Inspired by the Six Word Story Every Day project (examples below), I will be writing a complete story, every day, that contains only six words. That sounds manageable :)

I'm intrigued by the concept behind BookCrossing. Essentially, you sign up, register a book (or more) you want to "release," and then send it off marked with a unique tracking number that lets you follow its journey into the wild. Could be fun, no?

But it does seem like every time I go out of my comfort zone and entrust someone with something and then take a deep breath and go on with my life, it tends to erupt, sending tiny flaming particles of renewed mistrust back into my now-already-roiling-with-needing-to-clean-up-an-unexpected-mess gut.

Grrr.
