Sometimes the world takes a breath. In those quiet moments, those rare interstices, I find a separate peace in the ebb and flow and pattern of the words, in their collisions and collusions.
This post was written in response to the Trifecta Writing Challenge weekend Trifextra prompt:
For this weekend’s challenge, in honor of all of the writers throwing rationality (and perhaps sanity) to the wind and writing til their fingers bleed [during National Novel Writing Month], we’re asking for exactly 33 words about why we write.

LOVE. And I love the possible double meaning of the word “peace” with a slight spelling change to “piece.” Excellent.

🙂 Many thanks! That was half-intentional, as in, I wrote it, and thought, “Hey, that works another way too!” I love it when words surprise me.
