A friend posted a writing exercise where you had to start the first paragraph with a favorite food and end with a place you've wanted to visit but never have. It's a bit overdue, but here is what I came up with. I think it starts out nice but about halfway through the voice gets a bit lost and feels a tad rushed: (oh... the formatting may be a bit ( Read more... )
