DISAPPEARANCE

I watch him from across the street, silently The bus rolls in front, unhuman A stone on wheels, moving Oblivious to life, feelings It moves and all is gone, all is empty

NEW BOOK!

Now I am starting a new book, Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson. Okay, so far I'm only two chapters in but everyone has to start somewhere, right? I'm finding it sort of hard to capture all the meaning in the archaic grammar, but I will look up the words I don't understand. Wish me luck!

FINISHED DAVID COPPERFIELD!

I finally finished this book! It only took me forever but I did it. I loved how it ended, particularly the chapter in which David and Traddles visit the prison and see Uriah and Littimer in jail. It seems just punishment for all the grief they put on people. And when David says that he was just beginning to figure out that he loved Agnes? Oh my goodness, I deduced that from the very beginning. I loved every minute of it and it is a book I shall treasure for the rest of my life.

FINISHED ANNE FRANK

I have finished reading the diary of Anne Frank and I loved it. One thing in particular I wanted to touch on today.
Anne talks about how after she's been secretly(sort of) meeting Peter, growing to love him, needing to share that secret with someone, and ultimately deciding to tell her father of the relationship. This is a pressure that I am currently not burdened with. I recently went on a date with someone and didn't have to tell anyone I didn't want t0. This is a new experience for me. Perhaps because I am older, and not confined, I don't feel that need to tell somebody. In fact, I kind of like the little secret I feel like I am keeping.

ANNE FRANK

I am in the process of listening to the audio book of the diary of Anne Frank. I absolutely love it. It is a bit sad and I know how it is going to end but I have been thinking about it all day long and I had a couple of thoughts I wanted to share.
Anne often talks about how she wants to be able to have some time alone. I sometimes wish for the same thing but every day I can get away by working out or going to work or hanging out with friends. She couldn't do that. It helps me to appreciate what I have.
She also makes a comment about how she is letting go of her style when writing in her diary. What an interesting concept to have a style when writing. Should I do that? I fear I would lose the frankness of my journal entries and risk glossing over some things because of writing too stylistically. Oh well, I just need to work on it and see if I can ramp up my style.

SUPER SHORT STORIES

I heard (a while ago) a story on NPR about this new book called "Hint Fiction." It's about extremely short novels inspired by an Ernest Hemingway story that went, ''For sale.Baby shoes. Never worn.'' The piece on NPR went on to talk about other stories and what they mean.
So I thought I'd try and write my own super short story.
She waited and worried for two weeks for those two hours of dancing with him and then she was home and it was all over.
Did I mention the word limit was 25 words? Just barely made it!
