He waved his hand. “Not #relevant.”

A flush crept up her face.

“Men do it. You women don’t understand.”

“But…”

“There you are, summoning an argument. It’s a perfectly normal bodily function.”

“At the dinner table? Have some control. And grab the air freshener.” #vss365

She stared at the 6 inch hurdles, set a foot apart on the floor. A trickle of sweat wound down her back.

“Easy. Step over with your surgical leg and then bring your other leg to meet it.”

She raised her leg. #vss365

Wow! Isn’t it incredible what can be achieved with just one word! Which leads me on to ask, what next?

What about this goal, is it right for me?
Is it too challenging or too easy?
Have I unlocked my potential?
Is it achievable?

She cursed as she pumped, “This stupid $#%# thing.”

“Press on and start using it.”

“On page 25, you mention that the father died, but on page 110, he’s alive.”

“Good catch.” She scribbled a note.

“And the book would be more trendy if you change the protagonist to a KPop aficionado who broadcasts mukbang.”

“Ummm. That’s very #specific.” #vss365

“I’m quite pleased with myself.” She slurped tea, pinky out.

“How many words did you write?”

“Over 20.”

“79,980 to go.”

“Buzz-kill.”

“What’s for dinner?”

She sighed. “We have the pork tenderloin I got on sale, or I could make a salad with leftover chicken when I get home from work.”
