Bulb: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt:
Julia is a Brazilian woman who works at the kiosk next to Starbucks.
Today was the first time that I have spoken to her. I caught her name and where she is from. That has been it.
I've been sitting night after night at the same spot and we have only glanced at each other.
I approach her as she sits under a bright fluorescent bulb beating down on her. I say I've written something she might like after I find out that she likes fantasy. I wonder if she will read it.
I'm kind of at a loss for words at the moment.
I feel strapped for time. I am getting back the feeling of want to study intensely again. I like life much better with my nose in a book or something of the sort. I'm afraid to do different things and take the chance to grow.
I've locked myself away. Will you be able to find my key?
Picture is mine - What do you see?

@bananafish Finish the Story Contest - The contest begins on Wednesday (usually) and end 5 days later. This contest will test your write skills with something a little different each week. Pletty of time to write something around the 500 word mark.

@steemmonsters Steem Monsters Common Card Fantasy Story Contest! - Coming out roughly every week. If you enjoy card games like Magic, Yugio, and others like it, you might like this game. Write a fictional tale about the card they present in the contest and your entry just might be the one they choose to showcase.
@calluna Tell A Story To Me, And Win 5 SBD! Writing Contest - Kind of random when it comes out but don't worry. You will have two weeks to complete your work of art from the given prompt. Have fun!
@vdux Haiku - These are coming out every couple days or so. If you stuggle with rhymes, no worries. Haikus don't have to rhyme. All you need to make a haiku is five syllable on the first, seven syllables in the second line, and again back to five syllable for the last line. So easy it makes me think I'm being super product. LOL

The feelings of insecurity really come out in this. Thanks!
Keep it up. Here is today's #freewrite prompt: Day 308: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: mask
It is a daily thing for me 8-( If I could understand how this guessing game works, then I would do alright.
Sadly far to easy to relate to, the anxious wait, the hope, the insecurity. people's locks are hard to pick, and most of the time, those who have keys, don't use them :(
Are you working on an entry for this round of tell a story to me? It doesn't close until after the weekend :)
I've been told I have the keys and not using them. I just have to get out of my own way.
I was not working on a story. I am glad for the reminder. I'll see if I can cook up something. Looks like a fun topic I've never done before.
