DONALD MAASS WRITET TIP #68
What’s a feeling impossible to put into words?
Work until you have the words. Now find that feeling in your story. Add
Jude and me. It is nothing like a kind of gentle
nurturing. How does that make me feel? I remember all the moments when I knew
he was there even before he spoke. Jude is the crumble of tension on the
surface of my pretty, serene life. I hesitate. It’s funny, when I think of Jude
I find I hesitate a lot. I call to mind how it feels when his calloused fingers
drag across the smooth surface of my skin. With him, I always feel I’m on the
verge of some kind of beautiful. Not pruned, tamed, or even predictable, this
flower is every kind of random.
Jude innervates me.
So much for my patio life. Jude found the cracks in that
theory. He blew in and shattered it. Now, anything is possible. I’m more than
the sum of my plan when I am in his arms.
Jude is unquantifiable.
With him, even I
am wild.
What is your first thought when you hear the word IMPOSSIBLE?
