On the sofa. Reading a book. He sits nearby. Reading his computer. We aren't talking. For now, anyway. Just not talking. Just reading together. Well, reading separately. And being quiet. It's all there. Love, comfort, relief. Why say it? But I do. I say, hey. He looks up. He says, hey. He says, what? I say, nothing. He says, okay. I say, okay. We both shrug. Nothing to say. Nothing needs saying. Good to know. I read again. So does he.
Wahoo for those who want to capture family stories or write their memoirs. The idea to keep in mind: DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT Just start and keep going. Write fast and edit later. Fondly, Judy Helm Wright-Author/Historian/IntuitiveWiseWoman
Love Abigail Thomas and thank you for the call out on her book (it's ordered and on it's way now). And the thrifty little link to buy it somewhere other than the big A. I'll give this prompt a try...

So amazing, Sari. What a performance! So damn entertaining. Clever and satisfying. (That was my Comment in three word sentences.)

Curious. Do you write "regular sentences" and then edit to 3 words? Been obsessing over this prompt though I haven't put pen to paper yet?
Your delivery. OMG your delivery. Thank you for the smiles and your candor.
"Regular divorce suffices." "My fiancee insists." "My life restarts." Brilliant! The whole thing was brilliant, and hilarious.
What a smashing example. I couldn’t fathom this writing exercise, so your truly inspired me to give it a try.
so fun. Thanks for sharing. Judy Helm Wright-Author/Historian/IntuitiveWiseWoman

Got it. Brilliant! And beautifully read.
Your story was brilliant. Inspired to give this a try.
I'm looking forward to trying this. Thanks for sharing and I'm going to look for her book.
Sari, your reading is fabulous! Perhaps I'll try the prompt - your story really proves how much can be done with it. ❤️
Gonna try this! Thanks for video! It was marvelous!
Amazing! I am inspired!
Okay, now I’m a little obsessed with this assignment. Who knew?!? Yours was brilliant. Complete. Painting the picture perfectly. Brava!
