i mean seriously, i was so scared for my first blogger meet-up with kylee because i can talk and talk and talk all day about absolutely nothing and in real life, i'm not that funny.
so today i give you something i wrote.
creative writing non-fiction is my favorite class. hands down. even if i'm terrified to get my first real paper back tomorrow and i think my professor probably hated it because i didn't get to obsess over every detail like i normally do.
the assignment was to tell a story in 50 words.
and i'm embarrassed at just how long i spent writing this one. hate it, love it, rip it to shreds... i'm starting to become a little bit okay with show and tell. then again, i wrote this nearly six weeks ago and it's only 50 words. i can only imagine how long it would take to reveal 500 words. yikes.
*yes, this is a non-fiction class so yes, the story behind this is...well, true. and i'm sure you can figure out who/what it's about and all of its careful little hidden meanings?

fantastic piece..!! especially with only 50 words! you're a great writer, i don't think you should feel the need to put a 'warning' on the title of your post:)
any time i see my name on your blog i remember that we met in real life and then i get overly excited becasue that was the best blogger meet-up of my liffeeee. also, i love when you post things on your blog that i have already seen. i always feel so honoroed when i see something here i've seen in an email or text. i've said it before & i'll say it again, such a good execution of the assignment.
paints such a good picture in so few words! good for you, girl. I think you're going to kill it in writing class.
creative non-fiction was my favorite section in my creative writing class. kylee's right, so good. it really is.
I hate you. I couldn't write a 50-word story if I spent my life trying. I'm suuuuch a wordy writer. >_____< Loooove this though, so much! I might beg you to read my 2nd draft and give feedback in the near future. If you want. But I'll beg regardless.
Aw this is wonderful! Nonfiction writing is what I'm currently studying and I completely read you - isn't it fantastic!? I love the 50 word story idea...I love what you did in just a paragraph! Might have to try it...
