Day 9 - Letter to someone I wish I could meet

I couldn't of said this better myself.


Dear someone i wish i could meet,

"I've thought long and hard about who to write this letter to. And you know what? That really annoys me. This is not supposed to be hard. But darn it, I hate these "Choose your hero" or "Who inspires you?" things. Come on, I don't know these things. It's not like I go around wondering, "Hmmm. Who do I think has made an impact on my life?" That's just not the sort of thing normal people ponder on a daily basis. So naturally, this letter prompt pissed me off.

Who do I want to write to? Just any person I've never met? Any person, living or dead, anyone who's ever existed? That's just too darn general.

Yes I know, the point of the prompt was to write a letter to your long lost aunt or to the President. But I don't want to. You know who this letter is to? The stinking person who made up this prompt. I've been trying to write this letter for two dang hours. I hate this kind of prompt, I tell you.

You stupid prompt writer, I'll bet you thought you were so smart. Oh, now let's make them declare who they admire. We've made them write to who they like, we've made them write to their siblings, heck, we've even made them write to a stranger. So let's turn up the cheese dial and make them write to someone they wish they could meet.

Well I'm not falling for it. Yeah, you've gotten me to write a letter to someone I've never met, but really, go away. Just leave. You must never again show your face as a letter-prompt writer. I'm going to finish all the letters, but you can bet I'm not going to like them all. Just to spite you. You have just plain pissed me off with this prompt. I'd like to meet you to tell you how stupid it was of you to make me write about this prompt. Good day."


Love,
Kayleen

  1. um...I don't think you necessarily have to write about anything that you don't want to and you were the one that dedicated yourself to starting and finishing this project...
