Listening to: Ben Folds.
We're writing about relationships in my Creative NonFiction class. We had to pick the one that meant the most to us, and I chose to write about Tom.
So I started writing. And I never really stopped. I mean, I ended the scene when I had to, when it felt right to end, but I'm still writing it all down in my head, scribbling furiously with flashbacks and ever-racing thoughts.
The highlight, I'd have to say, is here:
"...but my vision is cluttered by faint inebriation - a mixture of Pimm's and carbonated lemonade and the way a boy can make you feel when the sun is setting."
I write my best when I write about him, but I want to collapse when I'm done. And this is how it works.
That's so gorgeous, just that whole notion of having so much to write about just one person and how it takes it out of you :] Is it him that gave you the C.D or is it someone else (if you don't mind my asking)
If you ever get to see them you definately should.
