Rapid Writes

In high school I took a creative writing class from Ms. Eberman (f0r those of you who remember her) because I figured that I wasn't much of a writer. One of the exercises we did in the class was called rapid writes where we had to write EVERYTHING that came into our head in two minutes of writing. I got to thinking about that the other day and decided it was time to practice that again. For those of you who may be interested in doing it one of the stipulations is that you cannot omit something because you think it is silly or innapropriate. So beware, here goes...

well I am off writing and not much is coming to my mind except that mistake I just typed and fixed. That is a no no. In this exercise you just have to go and not fix. I am not really sure what to write it is as if I have writers block or something. Oh I know I can talk about Braxton and his eating habits. He loves to go to the fridge and chose something to eat. In fact this morning he came in and wanted to eat as soon as he woke up. I was a little grumpy and I didn't want to be involved in the eating so I was grumpy to him.

For some reason that didn't seem as meaningful as it used to be. It also seemed like there was a lot more written. I don't know if it is because we used to write longer or if it was because we were using pencil and paper. I may have to play with that and see what I come up with.
