Practise Writing - Tumblr Posts

Freestyle Exercise I did today

This is from Creative Writing: A Workbook with Readings

I wanted to try something different and to improve my writing in general.

Here's what I wrote during the timed freestyle (which was 5 mins because I wanted to try different times):

The truth is I always wanted this baby to live - a fragment of our divine love. Impossible to create even by the lords of creators.

I take it off. A veil of regrets I learnt to sew and mend to conceal my happiness and anxiety, appease the Grand Minister's capricious mood in public to ensure a path to obtain his favour in the future still opens. Prophesy fresh in my Father's fear. Beginning of the End inside me, he says. If this child growing in my womb, its heavenly garden continue nurturing Little One, manage to defile the sword of prophesy that kills them - I am already proud of them.

I will not look at you.

Father's words rang well, may he don't peek until the child is born. For the first time, I can put my hand on my belly without any restrictions, feeling life moving in me.
