Prelude to a Workshop Slaying

[dotinthesky]

I'm reading my story tomorrow at the writing workshop! Hiccups!

Ding Dong, the week is dead.

No longer going out tonight to hear Kevin read from his story. Just came back from the swimming pool and I'm beat. Sissy Jennifer is sitting on my bed right now, texting her boyfriend Tim. She's cooking for us tonight cannelloni with eggs (will that work?!) She wants Tim to buy some eggs before he comes over. My hair is still wet, though parts of it feel silky and smooth. My body aches, but in a good way. I'm drinking a glass of orange/banana juice mixed with water.

Full Circle, by Peter Straub, is a horror masterpiece. It's up there with Shirley Jackson's The Haunt of Hill House. I can't believe it took me 29 years to read it. I've only read two chapters but I'm already banging the hammer on the table and pronouncing its majesty amongst the scary genre. If you appreciate ghost stories, you must find this book. Good luck, mes phantomes.

good luck on the story. I gave recs last time, will you repost so we can see the edited version or will it wait until after recs on Sat.?

I'll post the re-edited version! I'll do it after their comments and stuff so you people can give the final word. It's scarily juvenile at the moment. I'm going to have to apologize for the x-rated nature of the material before I start reading.

no you won't! it's a really good story, don't apologize at all.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Ok... I won't.

good. although, when I wrote an alternate ending to Lord of the Flies for 12th grade English, I was into horror writing and wrote this creepy Jack who went around finding kids who looked like the other kid and tortured them to death. I warned everyone, first.

Penny chastised me for not warning the class beforehand! :-(

oh no! I'm sorry! I guess I should have seen that coming with the weird lady who quit cos of the movie the first class.

Haha! But Penny was so cool at that time! I'm only guessing here what Penny thought... I wish I could have seen her face while I read, then I could guess her reactions to the story. It's ok though - I think I'm not her cup of tea, and that's fine.
