Incase you have not already noticed, there is a new link on the right. This goes to a new page I setup for me to post my ‘creative writings’ and such. Currently I only have the story I wrote to get into a workshop next semester. I will hopefully being adding more content soon. (Side note: the formatting will look weird until I post something new because of how I wrote the code, my apologies.)
Enjoy it, and feel free to leave me comments on any of the stories.
Your story is great. Very well crafted, clever similies, and it had that surreal quality throughout. I thought (at first) it was a fast forward through a guy’s freshman year, especially after the part where they go back into the room and it looks like it’s been lived in for months. Just really cool, I was totally into it. I was actually disappointed to see it take the dream route, though. It would have been cool for the relationship to be a real life relationship, and the falling at the end could have been some fight or something, or a discovery that she was sneaking around… the pacing would have been perfect, at least I think so. Really strong story. I like it. Is that the one you submitted today?
Thanks Carolyn. Yes it is the one that I submitted today. Your opinions of where it could have went seem to make some sense, as though you have had at least a semester of guidance on creative writing. But I chose the route that I did because it was loosely based off of a dream that I had, and since it is rare that I remember anything of my dreams I thought I should write it down.
