Internet, I’m writing two articles for print and I just can’t get time to review everyone’s posts from last week yet.   But I know you need your word, so here it is:

    Me again. I’ve posted my entry on my stumble blog. I guess I just didn’t think to do that last time. I hope that’s acceptable.

    Sorry, Velvet. I’m not in it this week. I HAD one, but it was REALLY ‘R’ rated and I just couldn’t leave it out there - it bothered me, and if it bothered ME, than I’m sure it bothered anyone else that might have read it. Next week, then, and a promise of no more ’steam’.

    We love you gir. Take a deep breath — hold it — now exhale slowly —- repeat. Meet your deadlines then enjoy some creative writing.

    I don’t want to put this on my own blog and don’t want to link there this time. That being said, this is fiction…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

    Anyhow…Here’s my take on “Twist”:

    I’m floating in that place between sleep and awake. I reach for my husband and feel his sleeping body there beside me. I will myself back into my dream world.

    My soul is exposed, searching. My heart is open. I see you in the distance. Our eyes meet. Our souls connect. Your deep brown eyes look into mine and your voice sends chills down my spine…it’s you, you’re finally here. I feel complete and at home.

    The dream fades away and I awake with a longing.

    The twist?

    Dream man is not my husband…and I DO know who he is.

    I’m working on one, but I don’t know if I’ll get it edited enough for this time. But I’ll try. :-) The importance is the writing, not the timing. :-D
