a story about rabbits ... and DEATH!

Aww, I got a book on elephants dedicated to me today. I love my job. She wrote all the letters in my name in different colors, and everything.

I guess I'll go ahead and post this, as it is the only thing I have written in the last week, even though it's just a little something I threw together for my writing workshop. At least I fixed the sex of the rabbit featured in it, which was more than I did before printing it out the first time and inflicting it on my classmates. They said nice things to me anyway. I'm really liking the class, because, for a novelty, everyone in it is really engaged with what we talk about (kids books!) and finds something interesting to say.

( Untitled original fiction. 1676 words. Vaguely inspired by the existence of the book Charlotte's Web. Minimally edited. Totally optional reading. Skim on by. Feedback appreciated, but after all I am not terribly invested in this, so. Oh, and that is so blatantly my childhood backyard, because I was lazy. )

Wow, apparently E.L. Konigsburg just published this book, which is a companion to Silent to the Bone, which was absolutely brilliant, so I must hie myself to a bookstore tomorrow. I seriously recommend every single thing I've read by her, and I'm amazed by how much stuff she's published, both recently and in the past, that I've never gotten my hands on. I pimped out The View from Saturday to my class on Wednesday when it was my turn so to do. Actually, I might make some icons from it, too.
