Plummet

There's a thing you should know about writers:
When we fall in love, we don't just fall,
we plummet.
We tumble longer than Alice down the rabbit hole,
and without the March Hare to follow.
Our hearts continually skip like stones on a lake,
then sink heavily into deep water emotions.
While we are descending,
the butterflies in our stomachs flutter out of our mouths,
as they don't fall like we do.
They pour up in words we cannot communicate
without the facade of a pen or type.
We do not know how to stop the plunge,
or whether we will land into the arms of a savior
or under the pressure of an endless ocean floor.
All we know is that we will ultimately crash
without a warning, where, or when.

I was moved by this piece of writing. It was beautiful and honest. And it is so true about writers. We fall harder than most. So many props for this.

[Brittany Bostic]

Very beautiful. I feel the same way. Falling in love with a character is like plummeting down into the pit of space never sure where or when or if we will be able to stop.
