a spark or a fire?

What a breath of fresh air! The writing group was so good! We did a 15 minute write with the following sentence starter: "A man walks into a bar and realizes it is not a bar..." I think I did my best writing tonight and I actually shared! I was so nervous. It could have been so easy for me to just sit back, but I just knew as I was writing it that I had to share. I just felt fire coming through my pen as I was writing. It was not polished or close to being so, but it just felt so good and so right. I knew I was in a good place when I revealed that I was an 8th grade English teacher and the following sound was one of awe and admiration and not bewilderment and sympathy. I am also thinking about doing this program where you commit to writing a novel in a month. It's really crazy and you have to produce 50,000 words in 30 days but I think its going to be one of the greatest, most taxing things I've ever done in writing. I am so inspired and this group may be the best thing to happen to my writing in a long time.
