I’d like to take this opportunity to explain how I pick the three words. Each week, I come across words, which I place on a Word document. Come Tuesday night, I look at the list, move words around, and somehow, three words come into focus that just sound right together. Those three words get placed in a post and I go to bed. And I don’t think about them until I get up and check to see that WordPress updated itself (I do so anywhere between 2 and 4 a.m. Central Daylight Time). That way, I have no unfair advantage over the rest of the writers. And here you go, three bright, shiny new words:
Bicker
Nervous
Trajectory

Next couple of days are critical at work, but I will be stopping by to read everyone’s contribution. Rememebr to keep checking back through the week, as some people choose not to post just on Wednesday. And there were late contributions last week that didn’t get the love they deserved.

Thanks for the explanation of how you select the words. I think it’s remarkable that you make it to nearly everyone’s posts every week. I try most weeks, but it’s tough. Thanks for all you’re doing so the rest of us can have fun with it!

What? You are not a licensed therapist? Well, you should be! While a newbie to this, each week it is as if you were in my head, probing for key trigger-points for emotions.
Anyhoo, see http://www.lifewithoutclots.blogspot.com/2009/05/3ww-for-may-13.html for this week’s session (Boy, therapy sessions for free—can’t beat that for a deal).

Sometimes accepting change is the only thing you can do- and along with it – breathe in and breathe out.
I LOVE 3WW.

Please view my scholarship proposal and comment on why you think I have the “right stuff” for traveling North America and creating a compelling travelogue.Thanks for the vote of confidence. If I win I’ll make it a journey you’ll want to follow online this summer.

I’ve been on vacation and didn’t think I’d have anything this week. But the three words led me to this poem.

I feel funny about titling this Flash Fiction Fun when I cover a topic like this one. But still, the challenge is what I’m talking about, not the subject.

I think it’s more of a challenge to write flash fiction or a short poem when using the three words. But, here’s mine anyway.

Thom, I just read that we’re allowed to conjugate verbs. Really? Oh my, if only I’d known! I might be famous by now, and on my way to winning one of them thar pull-its-her prizes!
Whew. Sorry. Too much coffee.
May 18, 2009 at 2:29:39 pm
And change the tense, I should have added. Maybe I need MORE coffee.
May 19, 2009 at 5:26:21 pm
Hal,
You can do pretty much what you want with the words, as long as the meaning isn’t changed.
Me, I’m a purist. I like to use ‘em in the form they were given.
