Process – Trifextra Week 76

freyathewriter 15 Comments

This week the Trifecta team have been inspired by recent up close and personal contact with Neil Gaiman, one of my favourite authors. We have been asked to offer our own three words which describe our writing process. Firstly I thought about biscuits. Then tea. Then I got distracted by my desire for both. Then I got serious….I hope you enjoy my offering – please visit here to read many more!

Please excuse the strange formatting – I am trying to submit this on my so-called smartphone, on a train, with rubbish connection. I will remove all shouting caps and terrible formatting when I am in front of a real computer. Unless I have spontaneously combusted with frustration before then.

+++ Update: I like tidy. So I have edited the formatting, typos and other glitches that resulted from my smartphone-fest yesterday. Really, I am so anal that I have to resist going way back to the beginning of this blog (well, that was only April this year!) in order to get all the posts in the same font format.

Kriah – Trifecta Week 85

Below is my offering for week 85′s challenge word, which is ‘fly’. As you will see from the relevant blog post, the challenge is to write between 33 and 333 words of fiction, non-fiction, poetry or prose, based on the 3rd definition from the Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary.  This week the 3rd definition of ‘fly’ is:

3a : to move, pass, or spread quickly
b : to be moved with sudden extreme emotion
c : to seem to pass quickly

Here’s my offering below – I hope you like it! Please check here for the other entries!

– Kriah –

I will give wings to my rage and let it fly.

I will shout, scream and vent my pain –

in silence.

The sounds in my head will deafen me,

drowning out the joy of you.

 

This is not what you want

for me.

This week, the Trifecta team have taken pity on us, after last week’s prescriptive challenge. This time round, just 33 words, on any theme we like. Ah, freedom (of sorts)!

I hope you enjoy my offering – please visit here to read many more!

– Ghost –

This is where my heart splintered.

There – is where healing began.

When I thought I saw you – distance fracturing my certainty –

I understood my wishful thinking.

And the tear rent wide.

Once more.
