Monty’s Very Short Shorts – Courage

#Courage
carrierendellwrites @ Threads

One of the things that got me started writing regularly (daily in fact) was to write ‘Very Short Stories” using prompt words provided on Twitter under the hashtag #VSS365. In 2020, I wrote a very short story (or poem) for everyday of the year. These, with accompanying illustrations, became my first major project and resulted in Monty’s Very Short Shorts:

After the project concluded and with the later demise of Twitter I no longer did this daily practice and worked on other projects. But recently, I discovered that “VSS” was alive and well on Threads and the writing community there is quite supportive and engaged. So I decided to try my hand at it again. I’m not sure whether I’ll do this everyday (and even if I do I’m not sure if I will repost to my Blahg or not), but let’s give it a go. Here is the ~~first~~ ~~second~~ third Threads VSS I participated in from a few days ago:

#Courage

She laid herself bare,
All her doubts,
Her questions,
Her insecurities,
Exposed, naked,
And raw for me to see —
All courage to me.
