Tori’s Writing Hole

This innocuous sounding invader has ruined my weekend. Ick. Instead of going to the World’s Largest Garage Sale, I ended up spending my time in bed, drooling puddles on pillows and hacking. Oh, and using up at least a tree’s worth of tissues. So not fair - I’m just starting to feel more balanced emotionally and then I get my happy rhinovirus. I picture those little crystalline structures invading my cells, filling them to bursting, and then forming a happy virus conga line through my bloodstream. Yeah, I’m a little science obsessed right now. What of it?

Speaking of science, I’ve done well on my first two papers in college. Yay! So I didn’t lose the ability to think all academic-like after all! Not like two papers makes a semester, but it’s a start. More homework is yet to come.

As for my writing, I really, really want to transition to writing long fiction. From a poet, that’s a tough idea. I’m tryin to steel myself for the first sentence, for the idea that I can write something longer than 500 words. Oh well, everything in life’s worth a try.
