This Friday is 11/11, also known as National Corduroy day. It’s been declared National Corduroy day because 11/11 looks like the wales in corduroy fabric. No, I’m not kidding. If you don’t believe me, check out The Corduroy Club Web Site’s Grandest Event Announcement. I found out about this a year ago, when the television…
Funny you should ask that. I was fifteen, once, enough years ago that I wince when I calculate back that far. Two-thirds of a lifetime ago, I was fifteen. Age fourteen was my perfect year. That was the year I was editor of the school newspaper, I was in accelerated math and English courses, was…
I picked up WP’s ashes on the way home from work tonight. When I got Clueless Wonder’s ashes back some years ago they came in box covered in a bright red satin print. I ended up finding a nice raku art piece that doubles as an urn. WP’s ashes came in a beautiful little wooden…
âWhen the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pieâ never struck me as the height of poetic imagery, but I never appreciated what a travesty those lyrics were until this morning. I was about five minutes into my trip to work, running about five minutes late. I wasnât particularly worried about the late…
Met up with the ex last night for dinner and a movie. It was actually a pleasant evening, though I found myself babbling throughout. He has a tendency to leave big, awkward silences, which I feel compelled to fill. He’s taken care of getting my name off the old bank accounts finally, and says I…
I note with interest that Iâm coming up on the ninth anniversary of my first post here. Thatâs a sixth of my life out here on the web, such as it is. Anybody else out there ever notice that 1/6 equals 16.6 percent? A non-sequitur to be sure, but I still love number play like…
"On the day Agnes died…" Is this Nadia? The name threw me for a loop when I thought another character was being introduced.
I like it though!
Alli
I was going to make the same comment as Alli….
I also enjoyed it! I don’t know that I could have done that. I tend to ramble on and never get to the point. Great job!!!
Megan
I liked it too! It drew me right in.
Damnit, still can’t access your friends only entries :(.
Ah, those ARE a lot of constraints!
AND having to name the characters in meaningful ways…. could set me off into the looney bin.
I ALREADY have a hard time naming in my stories….
But it’s true, writing to parameters DOES make you stretch. Paramiters? Paramaters?
Specific requirements! There!
Hope you get a good grade.
Very nice. Well done. I like the name Nadia. My bf’s father died of Leukemia. Some rare form not discovered until it was much too late to do anything about.
Best of luck with your writing class!
I too liked it, however it does not "feel" you are writing this.
I love your usual style…long, rambling and stops along the way about all the little interesting facts you normally *ramble* about.I love it when you stop us readers in mid sentence to smell the roses.
I was left feeling *I want more*. Does that make sense? Sort of got the bread without the filling.
I echo what Elf said.
