BUDGE, NIMBLE, THEORY

For Three Word Wednesday
And Friday Flash 55


DEADLINE

“What’s this? Only one chapter…? I need two!”

“I’m up to fourteen words per minute… in theory.
Just eight if I include spell check.”

"I don’t even type and I can do twenty!”

“I’m not as nimble fingered as you.”

“I need that second chapter… TODAY!”

“Impossible.”

“Budge up a bit… You dictate; I’ll type!”

  8. I hate deadlines. :o
    You did a great job of capturing the stress and anxiety of both people.
    My favorite part is where the guy responds simply with the word "Impossible."

    Thanks for another Friday 55! :)

  11. One of my talents is being a fast typist. For years I held a professional job and made sure no one knew how fast I could type.

    It comes in handy helping my daughter with her resume and blogging.

    Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
