One Word

I still haven't found myself writing like I used to.  Putting my thoughts to words, placing the on paper or on the screen used to be so cathartic.  Now, it's difficult to remember where to start.  I stumbled upon this website called oneword.  They give you one word and you have sixty seconds to write about it.  It made me feel inspired.  I am going to try and pick a word from the dictionary (this could prove to be interesting) and write a little, as often as I can.  My writing is out of practice, but it's exciting to challenge myself.  Here's my entry from one word today.

Then, she began.
