No I did not eat a whole box of Cheez-Its by myself in under 2 days...

Remember how I said Teenage Dream by Katy Perry was on my list of songs that I hate? Then Darren Criss was on Glee. I stand by my statement that it is a horrible song, but it is nice to know that there are people who can sing it in a way that does not make me cringe when I hear it. That is all.

Also, creative writing is hard. I know I said once a week, and that doesn't even sound like a lot, but am not sure I will even do that much. Not giving up yet though.

Grapefruit.

I stand over the kitchen counter peeling a grapefruit. There are so many other things I should be doing, but there is something satisfying about peeling a fruit. It's not like preparing other foods. It's natural and simple, and it's something I can succeed at. After the dexterous work, there is a mine of pretty gems densely packed in a neat little case, plump with sweet juice. So cold, so quenching. No thinking involved, except on my terms.


I am a lonely girl on a tropical desert island, and the fruit trees are my only friends.

I am a poor farm girl in a rich kingdom, laboring through all the hours of daylight picking fruits just to keep living.

I am the princess of the great gruit-filled kingdom, but I am sheltered by my father, never free to experience the true richness of the land. I eat a solitary breakfast of grapefruit and toast and long to trade places with the farm girl, willing her to know that sitting by yourself in an exquisite palace is not as fun as it's made to sound.

I am an average college student looking for an escape from her own head.

First attempt. Not great, took much longer than necessary, but it's done. Once a week may not sound like a lot, but it really is for me. At least I was inspired by something, right?

NaBloWriMo

I am far too much of a wimp to attempt NaNoWriMo (maybe in a few years), so I am keeping it fresh by doing my own version on my blog. I want to try to write down more stories from my life, from an objective point of view, maybe give them an interesting twist, because then I already know what's going to happen so it will just be some fun, easy writing practice. I should make goals, so maybe once a week at least? I am almost positive I will not post anything this week, but I will just do 2 in a later week. Plus I want to try to write more in general, so I will try to fill up a whole notebook this month, with any rambling thoughts or doodles or story ideas or lists or whatever I feel like at the time. If I am stressed our or bored or inspired, that is where I will go, so I can turn that time that I would have otherwise wasted into something more productive. So let's see what the month brings!
