Tiny, Perfect Shells
Shells from Long Beach Island, 2010 July 04 I spent some of this past weekend looking for shells on Long Beach Island. I usually look for the tiny, perfect shells. Many times Iâll find what looks like a perfect shell, only to turn it over and find the back cracked or entirely missing. Sometimes the…
The Reader’s Digest Version
I had so much I’d intended to put into diary entries. â¢I’ve got my new computer desk set up and running. â¢I spliced additional wire onto my new stereo’s speakers so that I could set it up on the new desk the way I wanted. â¢I only have to see the doctor every three weeks…
Cultivating pictures.
Well, another morning came and went, and another MRI has been performed on the ol’ hepatic lobes. I figure Dr. K should see the results in a few days, and so I’ll but him around the end of the week to find out if there’s been any changes. It seems rather weird to admit, but…
Lamb Vindaloo
The Professor needed the kitchen last night to do some preparation for tonight’s lamb Vindaloo meal. “The cookbook says one hour prep, one hour cooking,” he informed me. We both figured it would take him a little longer. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 5:10 p.m. – I arrive home. The Professor is already in the kitchen. I take that…
The First Fireflies
Itâs a warm night, and Iâm typing this on my trusty little Acer out on the deck. We have new deck furniture this year, inexpensive and sorely needed. The deck itself needs attention, but I try not to focus on that overly. Time for that when I can pay for it. Still no news on…
Cactuses, Q-fever, and Painting Cats
My Christmas cactus is getting ready to bloom for Easter. I don’t know who is more confused, me or the cactus. In answer to one of yesterday’s comments, nope, I am not vaccinated against Q-fever. Coxiella burneti is on the chart, but isn’t too great a concern with the animals I work with, all of…
"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.
