Week 12 Story Lab: Microfiction

 Scrawls of pencil and ink cover the pages

    Who's to know what the next stage is.

She twiddles and fumbles, all with no sleep

    All in the hope there will be rewards to reap.

Now she is finished and sends off the bundle

    Here's to hoping it won't just be locked in a trundle.

    I did the Nursery Rhymes unit this week, so I tried my hand at a short little story in the form of a rhyme. In case it's a bit difficult to tell, I was trying to depict the hard work of an author! 😊

    Hey Lanney,
    This story was very short and sweet and I'm not complaining, haha! I think you did a really good job on what I would assume was a nursery rhyme. I really enjoy the weeks we do microfictions because it gives me a chance to try something new. I think this was nice and was not hard to tell. Keep up the great work!

    Hi Lanney,
    I love the idea of doing a nursery rhyme! Good for you for taking on that challenge - that is pretty brave! You did great with the rhyming.. trundle?? I never would have though of it.
    Your message about the difficulty of writing definitely came through.. I wonder if the frustration of microfiction writing contributed to that? ;) Great job!

Introduction to Me, A Socially Anxious Future Doctor

      Hello everyone! My name is Lanney, and I am a Senior here at OU, double majoring in Biology and Letters, along with following a pre-med track. When I first started here at OU, I was only a declared Biology/Pre-Med major, but last year, I had a Latin professor who talked to me about the possibility of also majoring in Letters. Ultimately, I think I decided to earn a degree in Letters because of my professor and also the content within the major, which is a little bit of everything, from philosophy to literature. Hopefully, I will attend OU medical school once I finish my undergraduate career, looking to become a pediatrician, possibly specializing in oncology. My career choice seems quite specific to a lot of people, and that is because it is. Many individuals who go into medical school have yet to decide on the specialty they wish to pursue, preferring to experience clinicals first, to get an idea of which they really enjoy. The primary reason why I plan to go into pediatric onco

      The Salamander and the Reed           Once, a young little salamander was taking a meander around the pond it lived at. The salamander's mom had warned the little one to be careful on their journey, and be on the lookout for any predators. The walk was hardly enjoyable, with the salamander swinging their head continuously to keep an eye out for danger. There! The young salamander saw something moving amongst the grass and dived into a nearby puddle, a predator surely on their tail. The salamander spent the whole day in hiding, while the rest of the salamanders watched a reed sway peacefully in the breeze. Enjoy a puppy! (Because apparently, my blog won't let me upload my pic of a baby salamander) The Salamander and the Reed (condensed)     Their mother had warned and so the salamander was on their toes. Though perhaps a bit too on their toes, hiding in fear from a reed subject to the breeze. Author's Note:     I got my inspiration from the story The Serpent and the F
