I have not submitted to 3WW on a regular basis. Sometimes I read the words and nothing immediately comes to mind. Then suddenly it is Thursday and I know that I am too late for anyone to read it. But I realize if I want to consider myself a writer of any value I must be able to write even when not inspired. So, today I challenged myself to complete a 12 Word Wednesday using the last four prompts that I did not respond to: blurred, illegal, match, deny, smile, uncomfortable, cautious, human, maybe, average, neck, and scratch. And to challenge myself further I made myself form the words into a 55 Flash Fiction Friday.
I have always been uncomfortable in my own skin. Maybe it is because my self-concept is blurred by my image of the average human, which I don’t match. I am cautious and seldom risk my neck. I have pretty much gone through life without a scratch, but I don’t deny myself an occasional illegal smile.

Wow!!! You are definitely a writer! I love most everything you post. Your post today is very impressive.
I struggle just combining 3WW and 55 Flash Fiction Friday.
A great job using the last 12 words from 3WW. I know that couldn't have done it. :)
Enjoy those illegal smiles--often and much! Beautiful picture.
being on the safe side is good for longevity.... but have you ever been able to say to yourself.... "holy fuck!!! now THAT was a good time???????"
Wow.
Super, super amazing.
And it very accurately described me I must add...
Enjoy your illegal smiles :) Have a great evening
That struggle. Isn't it within all of us?
