This one's simple: just post the last line you wrote today. You can include a short explanation if you like, but it is definitely not a requirement.

Gwenny laughed, as she gave a little tug on the reins to guide Blueberry towards the way out to the road leading to town.

This is definitely not my last line for today but since it ends a chapter I might as well post it during my only forum time for today. xD

no other way and the deeper wells have dried up--is nothing,
and collapses the moment a truer emotion makes that surface
