Like a Bird This Story Flutters Around in My Chest (Worldbuilding Prose)

http://alexaliteration.blogspot.com/2011/12/like-bird-this-story-flutters-around-in.html

Like a Bird This Story Flutters Around in My Chest (Worldbuilding Prose). Wednesday, December 21, 2011. I have a story inside of me waiting to be written. This is a realization that is all-together exciting and terrifying, but mostly exciting. When I think about this story I am filled with joy, but this story comes out of me not in a torrent but as a leaky faucet. Here is a droplet from that faucet:. The man gave a curt nod as he rose from his prostate position at the king’s feet. “Your m...8220;I cannot...

Thursday, April 28, 2011. Since I've been writing poetry since long before I started this blog, I'm going to post older poems as well as new stuff. Here's a little gem from the very beginning of the school year, back when I thought I was good at writing poetry but actually wasn't (as opposed to thinking I'm good at writing poetry and actually being good at it). This was my audition for my high school poetry slam team. Somehow I managed to make the team. Anyways, enough gab. Here's the poem. Inhabited onl...

No Poem Today, but. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. I'm thinking about doing a poetry contest! Would anyone be interested? There would be a prize, something like a custom poem or picture and a feature of your blog, whether you write poetry or not. Post here if you'd like the challenge. I'll prolly do it once a month with a different theme or muse each month. Also, to avoid bias, I'll probably look for someone or two someones to help me judge. PS I'm going to a funeral, hence no time for a poem. :P. EVEN MORE OTH...

Tuesday, September 20, 2011. That is to say, I'm going on a short hiatus until the end of October, because marching band and school have gotten the better of me, and it's unfair to make my readers constantly check to see when I've written a new post. :). Math on the Brain is Never a Shame. Inspirations A Play on Geometry Lessons. Wednesday, September 14, 2011. In Other News: I'm getting published! My 900-word life story. Is being published this month in an anthology of local life stories! I love to share.

I Write a Sonnet

http://alexaliteration.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-write-sonnet.html

I Write a Sonnet. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. I don't know how Shakespeare did it. Sonnets are hard! I mean, I could barely squeeze this one out, so I hardly can imagine how Willy wrote hundreds of them. I would probably die. Free-verse is more my thing. But then again, it seems everyone these days is doing free-verse. I'll be a non-conformist! The reason I wrote a sonnet? A Statue of Two Soldiers in New York City. Forgottens stand still in a sea of sick motion;. The pigeons hop dumbly from statue to other,.

Darkness

http://alexaliteration.blogspot.com/2011/12/darkness.html

Tuesday, December 20, 2011. I stood outside in the dark for ten minutes at two in the morning. Here's what came of it:. There‘s a certain silence that follows the dark around like a little brother. It wraps itself around your legs and covers your ears as if to say “Guess who.” It stuffs your ears with cotton balls until all you can hear is the rush of two-a-m-travellers on distant roads, the roar of tired pilots landing their planes on the lighted airstrips. Can they who have not seen know light? How I f...

katie best, on life.: March 2014

http://laurakatiebest.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

What's mine is Yours. I've known since i was a little girl that everything belongs to God and we are just put in charge of it. i've also known since i was a little girl all about this story: luke 18:18-23. Go ahead and read that. no really, read it. i'll wait while you do.). It never did. panic turned into peace and i made a double car payment, gave more intentionally and happily and saved better than i normally do. The problem with instagram. Which i obviously gave myself). I've come to learn a few thin...

katie best, on life.: January 2013

http://laurakatiebest.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Today as i was climbing into my car to head back to work, a thought occurred to me:. I have the ability to decide who i want to be every single day when i wake up.". We are so lucky that we have the ability to choose what it is that makes us unique. no matter what anyone says or thinks, i get to be me- whoever or whatever i decide that is. New year, new goals. Write every single day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I do not exist. People who like me:. New year, new goals.

katie best, on life.: to new chapters.

http://laurakatiebest.blogspot.com/2013/02/to-new-chapters.html

They say when one door closes, another opens. I've never been one to shy away from an opportunity or change or new chapter in my life. to be honest, the last year and a half has been a constant whirlwind. nothing has stayed the same for long and i've continuously embraced chaos. Things were starting to feel a little too settled again- i guess i needed to spice things up- so i went and got a new job. But sometimes you have to make hard decisions. Normally those hard decisions are the most rewarding.
