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 ...

Little Roly-Polies and Life Long Rivalries (Week 7 Story)

Image
      Samantha and Cameron had lived across the street from each other since they could remember. When they were younger, they had sleepovers at each other's homes just about every weekend. No one at school would believe that though, as the two are constantly at each other's throats when they are seen anywhere in the same vicinity. Sam is the captain of the girls' volleyball team and she is a member of the swimming and softball teams. Along with excelling in sports, Sam was also at the top of her class, scoring As since childhood. Like Sam, Cameron excels in several sports, captain of the boys' baseball team and part of the football and track teams. However, Cameron falls a bit behind in academics, and Sam loves to hold that over him. Why do they fight any chance they get? Well, even Cameron might struggle to tell you that. It is just how it has been for the past decade. On the flip side, if you ask Sam, she can pinpoint the exact moment their rivalry started. ~~~~~~~~~...
