The objective of this blogfest is to write one 100-word sentence (with a 5-word leeway, so between 95 words or 105 words). You may use ONE semi-colon, if necessary. There is no genre. The only requirement is that you love it enough to post it on various social networking sites.

Check out You’re Write, Except When You’re Wrong for more blogfest details.

I wasn’t sure I could do it. I know I can be a windbag and talk, and talk and talk a person’s head off, but I’m pretty sure I throw some periods and question marks in there. I also know I have had to work at keeping my sentences short and sweet in my novels (in the beginning, I was known to write some lengthy sentences and I was highly reprimanded for them by class instructors).

So now, there is a blogfest to celebrate the very long, unnecessary sentence—THAT sounds like my kind of fun.

But could I do it? I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. I’m still not sure I did (breaking all sorts of rules to do it).

Well, you tell me.  What do you think? Here it is:

The blade caught the light, reflecting a cold glimmer across the watery surface which rippled with every miniscule movement I made, sending little waves to lick the sides of the bathtub while I breathed in and out in hopes of calming my twelve-year-old nerves that fretted in my chest as I held the plastic handle of the pink Daisy razor within inches of my bare, yet incredibly “Sasquatch-like” hairy legs—that’s what the kids at school call me—but I know I need to get on with it, make the first pass . . . so I can be just like the other girls.

I don't think I could write a sentence that long--too much stress. I'd want to edit it down. Yours is good.
