Drabble: Sunsets
AN (Author’s Note): I asked my friend (his name is Stanley) what he thought of when he thought of sunsets. His answer:
“Sunsets are a pretty effect due of the scattering of light wavelengths.
[Just kidding.]
Think calm.
Romantic.
Sunset always feels like the short time until the end of the world.
You can’t stop it, you just enjoy what’s left of the day calmly.”
…and I decided to write something based off of it. Even if ‘of’ should have been ‘to.’ Not my best work, sadly, but this story was just not working out. Sigh.
Thoughts and opinions welcome, as always. HAPPY NEW YEAR’S! xo
“The Garden”
AN (Author’s Note): I keep writing drabbles (yay Writer’s Craft!), and, well, this definitely-atypical story (really, a series of interconnected drabbles, if I’m being honest) was written over the course of a week in mid-November. I keep wanting to show it to people, but they tend to be disturbed - if they can read my writing, that is. For the aforementioned reasons, it’s unedited, except by me.
With that in mind, I’d really appreciate an opinion or three on this piece! Thanks in advance, Tumblr :) xox
“Catching Elephants”
AN (Author’s Note): My sincere apologies for the long hiatus!
This semester in high school, I have Writer’s Craft. And it’s actually driving me to the very edges of my creativity. This is the second writing activity we’ve done so far, called a ‘jumble story’; we had to pick a character description, setting, time, and situation/challenge from a list (10 choices of each), and then, of course, write a story. I picked ‘a recent high school graduate’, ‘an expensive restaurant’, ‘after a proposal’, and ‘something embarassing has just happened’/’an important decision needs to be made’.
Constructive criticism/reviews/opinions appreciated, as always! xox
“make a wish and throw it all away.”
AN (Author’s Note): I wrote this story last night - technically this morning - in about half an hour. It’s pretty rough, but I like how it turned out. Enjoy, and please review!
AN (Author’s Note): Updating the story - I edited it a few months ago, and forgot to revise the post. Reviews appreciated! xox
