A weekly writing exercise between four intrepid wordsmiths. Each Sunday one writer offers up a trigger, a firer of synapses. Each Saturday, we see what the synapses have wrought.

Trigger 12/9
I almost forgot about this. Well, it's Christmas so your trigger is JESUS. Ha Ha! It's so much easier for me than you! Well you should have gone to church more. No excuses.
I think it might be easier to write something about Jesus if you don't go to church and/or don't believe his feelings will be hurt. I laugh out loud every time I read Anne Lamott's book about writing, and one of the things she said was, "I worry that Jesus drinks himself to sleep when he hears me talk like this."
Yeah I realized immediately after that it's probably harder to say something brief about your life work than it is to say something brief about something that's not your life work.

Aw, I should have used that for my post.
