Challenge of the Week
Alright, you brilliant beasts. To kick off the first $25 Weekly Challenge, we're keeping it easy and exact. Suuuure..... Most of us have been in this spot, asked the question, so we'll frame a setting. Here goes. You're on a first date with a person you met online. There's attraction there, but you're still trying to figure out if the chemistry is physical AND mental. The person across the table asks you what kind of writing you do, and when you give them a genre, they say, in one way or another, "Describe your writing to me." This week's challenge is to answer that question here. The winner will be decided by likes on this one.

Oh Goodness..

I would think to myself as I stop mid-chugging my sweet tea not even playing it off like I wasn't a Literal-thirsty-bitch. (Not to be confused with a thirsty bitch normally denoted in the slang of the today's modern youth).

I would; smiling wide;

with mouth and eyes,

And in truth,

I'd say,

"Well , I wouldn't normally describe my writing. I mean; hmmm....

I mean that i have trouble describing my work because each piece is unique and purely it is what it needs to say; whatever the case may be.

So for me to describe them I'd just need to read em to you. Honestly.

Alot of people say I use big words to sound smart or to be aloof, but I don't, and I don't argue.

Though I do not agree.

I just can't imagine performing several sentences denoting meaning when nuances that could understood by an instance of a single words usage exist. Language is a tool that can be emhanced and should a word have its meaning being equivalent to the most pertinent sum of what I have to say; then damn it! It is what I'll say."

[I'd finish saying this followed by a silence long enough that I start to second guess my confidence in my answer and I'd shake my head like an overthinker and say,

" Nah, really if i had to sum it up another way I'd just tell you "I like Turtles, and then drool a bit."

After which point my cheeks would burn rubicond and after chuckling I'd return to sip at my sweet tea where I sit.
