VBIAM Day One Exercise

"Daily Writing Exercise:
Get a piece of fruit or a vegetable...
Look it over for a moment or two...
Now write about this fruit or vegetable for 10 minutes or so without using the sense of taste!"

1:09 p.m. - I'll let you guess what it is???

Yellow or what is left of yellow surface. Bruised, brown age spots dot the surface. Long cylindrical geometric sides, one could say it looks somewhat falic or like a long stretched out granny tit with small rough blakc nipple at one end. A yellow vine swollen with a long stem like rope or straw like looking end torn from its rooted home in a faraway place. So there is sight, other senses, there is hearing. Silence, it is still, but if I drop it there would be a soft thud and another bruise would form all the way to the creamy white insides turning them soft and brown. Sight, hearing, smell is next smells like a grocery store produce section, a certain yellow fruit, not good for canning. Smells like something sliced on breakfast cereal, or found in a brown lunch sack in the cloak closet of an old fashioned elementary school, smells like a yummy snack, or something baking in the oven on a cool fall day. Still firm to the touch although aging. The surface is not smooth, small indentations and cracks.

Thank God ten minutes is up. It was hard not to edit and I did use spell check. It's to late in the day. My editor is awake.
