Inspiration will come to you when you least expect it. Inspiration will ink your pen and smear your paper. You will write about things you have never experienced. You will write things you don’t believe in, but you will write with feeling. As a writer you don’t need to understand what you are writing, you simply need to feel what you are writing. Writers don’t write words; they write passions and emotions and thoughts.

Waves
My mom told me not to let him go. She said that she had seen me in the arms of multiple people in the past few years and none have made me shine the way he did. She said I was a tsunami and my waves would fend off anyone who ever attempted to get close to me. Yet somehow he learned to maneuver the harsh rain. She said, “Do not let him leave for if he does he will not come back until five years later when you have a different last name, a new man in your bed, and a pregnant belly. Then and only then will you realize that you lost the one person who would have given every sunshine filled day to ride the waves of your storm.”

A Digital Pandemic.
After a long day in the department, Emily dropped her worn and tired dark leather bag on the counter before navigating through the small and disordered kitchen to grab a cold beer from a contrarily empty fridge. She hadn't had a chance to unpack since moving from Newcastle to Glasgow, let alone shop for sustenance, except for cold brews naturally.
