3WW #24 okay #1 for me on this, #3 total (i think)

Welcome to Three Word Wednesday.Each week, BONE will post three (or more) random words. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write something using all of those words. It can be a few lines, a story, a poem, anything. This is a writing exercise. It doesn't have to be perfect. The idea is to let your mind wander and write what it will. I'll also attempt to write something using the same three words.

Be sure to leave a comment if you participate.

This week's words are:
Wilted
Drawer
Ink

You know the drill...

Tammie dreamed with all her heart that one day she would be a published author. She sent off copies of her works to every publisher she could think of and of those who even bothered to respond she received rejection letters. She would shove these in a drawer that she had labeled "REJECTION."
One would think that with all this rejection that Tammie's hopes would be wilted, but they weren't. There was a little voice in her head that urged her to "keep writing"...and so she did. She wrote about everything and anything. She also wrote anytime and anywhere.
You could see her in the subway scrawling something on the back of an envelope. Ideas just kept flooding in. If she ran out of ink she would ask everyone near her for another pen. She always meant to replace those pens...one day when she was published and could afford it, she would get them all brand new nice pens to replace the bics and other brands. She kept notes on who gave her pens...she didn't ever want to forget.
