What have I gotten myself into?

This is it, first day of the #31DAYWRITINGCHALLENGE. I decided to join in to see if I can write. The idea is to write non-stop without editing, just a continuous flow of words into computer.

Today’s prompt is NEED. I don’t even know how to write about it. It did make me think about what I need at the moment- rest, for body, soul & mind. I have been so busy with domestic life, work, and church, that I don’t (or rather we don’t) even have time for date nights anymore. My day off differs from that of my husband, and we’re really struggling to find time.

Then, I also thought of what I need for today. I ran out of my usual hay fever capsules so I thought I’d try the one that doesn’t usually work too well. Well, I got reminded why I don’t use it. So I plodded on for half a day with streaming eyes and a very runny nose, one that’s redder than Rudolph’s.

This is much harder than I thought. Five minutes seem like such a short time to write, but now that I’ve started it, it feels much longer than I had thought. No, there is nothing spiritual here at all, not in this post anyway.

Thirty seconds. The longest half a minute in my entire life. This is why I need this challenge, I just draw a blank each time I sit myself down to write. What will I write about tomorrow?
