My finger nail is pretty big. I mean it's a nail for my whole finger, so it's finger sized, and, relative to other nails, that makes it PRETTY BIG.

There's a book about fingernails that I think you should read. It goes like this:

Fingernail...

Fingernail Fingernail Fingernail

You are calcium

You are CAL SEE UM.

CAL STATE LA

Just gotta let 5 minutes go by. That's what's important here. I need to have another conversation... because, yeah, she did it again, tried to talk to me, this time about a fishy taste in the cast iron, while I'm writing! This time is sacrosanct.

It wasn't like I had anything going with the whole fingernail thing, though, you know. Just random nonsense. How about a story about a man with really long fingernails who meets a woman with really long fingernails, and the form a band with guitars and then they wear their fingernails down and realize that they really have nothing without their fingernails. Oh, a sad story. I didn't expect that. When two people have alike physical features, you definitely expect them to love each other forever.

Weird that that didn't happen in this fictional story that was written in ..less than 5 minutes... Much less than, but I don't know how much time is left on the clock.

I've been terrified of trying the free writes - name every real and imagined excuse... slow typing speed, no ideas... - but I've been reading and savouring them.

This one - for me, at least - ranks up there with the best of them because it is very honest. This honesty inspires. Thank you for writing and posting it.

Freewriting should not be terrifying. If you don't like what you've written, don't worry, no one came to harm by your having written it!

True. A good way of looking at it. Thank you.

I can name at least one physical feature I definitely expect to be different (though compatible) in the person I love. Lol!
