200 words a day – Day #4

I have decided that I'm not going to limit myself to only writing 200 words a day. It just doesn't seem like enough considering the fact that I want to reach in mass audience. From this point forward I will be publishing short stories or vignettes on this blog. Some will fall in the fiction genre and others will fall in nonfiction. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that my overall goal with this blog is to get my name as a writer out there. Posting short snippets of my writing does not seem like the most effective way of doing that.

Another thing I want to make clear is that I am also indecisive when it comes to my writing. In other words, I may completely change my mind tomorrow. So, please bear with me and continue reading. I mentioned in previous posts, that I have trouble with deadlines. Well, I also have trouble coming up with story ideas. I am more than open to suggestions. Anything that will help give this blog some direction is more than welcome. I want my writing to have a purpose. Someday I want people to read my stories or maybe even these posts, if they still exist and again something useful from them. I'm not trying to sound conceited or anything but I want to be remembered not only for how I acted in life but the things I said. I want to have a positive impact on people and the world around me and I think one of the main ways I can be that is to write.

The End of The Bucket List

Noah finally reached #99 today. The reporter and photographer from the local paper had just left, when I arrived. “ The basket hit the ground safely, I see.”             “Yes,” he replied. “As you predicted, it would have been more fun with my Emilee. All the couple I went with wanted to do was swill red or white, and talk of his promotion. Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next? I was there at the beginning when you had me write the blasted list.”             He was sitting on the edge of the bed when he looked over at me. Tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. “Ah, my boy, I wish I had more time on the clock, more things to tick off.     ...

Day six

Today I saw my taco explode after just one bite, all of it falling onto the plate in a heap of cheese, meat and lettuce. Yesterday I saw all three parts of the same Christmas movie at different times. It sounded like a mixture of infomercials and jingle bells. If you looked inside me you would see someone who is self-conscious and insecure, even after 27 years on this planet The five things I saw that no one else saw The inside of my eyelids The lint on my dress The game boards on my bed. My faded pink nighty on the floor. Tooth picks on the doorframe The most beautiful, terrible thing is the failures and inadequacies of technology

Celebrity Name Game

When mom met me up this morning, she was asking me which celebrity was my favorite, you know favorite female actress or male actor. It reminds me of a one, of one of those  party games that are meant to catch you offguard guard. She asked me a bunch of other questions, I answered accordingly. At the end of the game and after I was done using the toilet and eating breakfast… I wished that I would have been able to come up with better responses.  I think I said Jim Carrey and Julia Roberts. Looking back however, I would have changed my answers. Jim Carrey would have been a contender but Matthew McConaughey would have knocked him off of the top spot. As far as favorite actresses go, and still would have been Katherine Hagel, even though her career has been put on hold because of her desire to have a family. Mom then switched to questions that were of a more personal nature. That game reminding me of something I saw on one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Charmed. I think the s...
