How to Throw Acorns At a Tree

COMING SOON!

we're writing a flash fiction piece in our "Form and Technique of Fiction" class and I think that's going to be my title. Or not, who knows. I never write it too far in advance of the deadline sooo I'm thinking since it's due Tuesday I'll probably end up writing it Monday night.

Monday is the deadline for any submissions to Thread. Thread is a literary journal at USF...you can submit short stories, poems, essays, ANYTHING. I'm considering my Magical Realism piece. According to Devon, it was my home-run this semester. I'm nervous about submitting it though because although I know I have nothing to lose, it would be my first time since first grade trying to get something "published". Obviously, if I want to write anything and have people read it and sell it I have to get it published but I'm horrified of rejection. I feel like I take my writing personally and when people don't like what I write, it's like they don't like what's inside of me. I know that's not actually true, but it's how I feel.


Homecoming Carnival on campus tonight was pretty fun. Heather and I went together and we rode the Farris Wheel after waiting in line for an HOUR. Neither of us was scared at first...I got scared right before it was our turn. Heather got scared after we got buckled in and we started going backwards. We both ended up screaming loudly and laughing at what babies we were hahahaha.


Maybe I'll write a short story about carnies.
