So in Catch-22, there is the line "In the back, Snowden was dying." In a story I wrote recently, I wrote "In the kitchen, the cake was burning." And I didn't feel guilty when that line came in the middle of the story. But then my writing teacher took her pencil to it, cut out the second half of the story, slapped two check marks next to that line and wrote "End it here. It's beautiful!"

Aw man, now I feel like a plagiarist! :(

I AM SPENDING FAR TOO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER.

I sense a No Computer Day in my near future. Perhaps several over the Christmas holidays. Yes. Soundslikeaplan!

I am developing a total love for the short story. <3 Does anyone have any favourite short stories that I should most definitely read? :3

Sorry for the ridiculous post-age today. I know I am a terrible person.
