Today, guess which 'I' emotion/feeling/state of mind I've depicted today in the short fictional passage below. Jessica Bell is using the same prompt word for a passage of her own. After guessing in the comments here, won't you follow the link and read Jess's entry?
Here's mine:
The writer stared at her computer screen. The cursor blinked, accusingly, next to the one character she’d managed to type. ‘I’. She sighed, her mind wandering to her to-do list, which was short today. She forced her attention back. ‘I’. What a silly prompt. It’s a letter yet a word all by itself. Big deal. She lifted her fingers off the keyboard, examined a bit of polish chipped off one nail, then lay them back into the grooves of ‘a’, ‘s’, ‘d’, ‘f’, ‘j’, ‘k’, ‘l’, and semi-colon. ‘I’. What could she say about ‘I’. She had no opinion, one way or another. The only thing she cared about what getting something, anything, written down.
Any guesses? See you over at Jessica's blog!

LOL! I assume this is autobiographical? ;o) xoxo
Honestly, I think you've stumped me, today.
Indifferent or indecisive?
I thought I had it, until I read Jessica's. I'll bet Tonya's right with indifferent.
Indifference? Apt illustration. *grin*
Is she looking for something inspirational? :)
I would feel indignant in this situation, but after reading Jessica's I suppose indifferent fits.
I love this take on the A-Z blogging challenge. What a great idea! I'm going with indifferent for the emotion here.
I'm stumped too. But indifferent does seem like a good guess, one way or another!
Inspiration, that was my post. I have a distinct lack of it.
Funny way of describing indifference =)
Indifferent. I think this passage is written from the experience of all writers, LOL!
I'm guessing 'indifferent.' I sort of cheated by reading both your post and Jessica's for a double clue. Great work!
Found your blog by reading comments you've made on other blogs, Nicole, and am so glad I did. You've received a blog award over at Critique Sisters.
Indifference- That's what I'm going with. I hope it's right.
I'm with everyone. Indifferent?
I would have to say indifference.
Great job, I'm stumped. :) I'm a fellow A-Z challenger and new follower. :)
mbrr... hmm... On Jessica's site, I said irritation. Then I went with impatience. I'm thinking impatience. :D <3
This example works for both indecisive and indifferent. Jeez, I can't make up my mind, but oh well. Who cares? (HA!)
Others have said "indifferent" and I suppose that could be it! Whatever your "I" word (maybe it is just that...I) you wrote it well. :)
Indifference is definitely starting to make sense. Not that it matters all that much to me--that word will work as well as another I guess.

Inattention?
After reading Jessica's, I'd say irritated. But, I was really thinking - unInspired.
