The longest thing I've written is about 10,000 words. I signed up for NaNoWriMo. I'm supposed to write 50,000 words this month. I got about 2,500 down. I'm supposed to be up to at least 28,000 words by today so I'm slacking. It's probably because I didn't plan anything during October. My character's name is Timmy. He is a junior in high ( Read more... )

This will be my 1500 words about Tao Lin so I can get a free book. It’s part of a grassroots promotional campaign for his new book. I think he does these kinds of things a lot. These kinds of things include the selling of shares for his future project that may have earned him some money. There are also the “Fuck America” stickers/possible tattoo. ( Read more... )

the creaking sound of the bed makes her feel secure. it's the only thing that feels familiar about this situation. she is losing "it" at age 23. it was late for everyone else but for her it was perfect, considering. she used to be a troubled teen but unlike most troubled teens she wasn't a slut. the next few days would be weird. especially ( Read more... )

Every Sunday a neighbor sets his music really loud. No one has complained in all the years I remember this happening because they usually play old spanish love ballads. Old couples in my building, like my parents, sit together in their living rooms with the T.V. on mute and listen as the ballads fill up the building. My parents also have some ( Read more... )

John never saw the roof of his building. It bothered him when he realized that he has never seen the roof of his five floor apartment building. He always figured that the door was always closed and he never had much interest. The day after he realized that he has never seen it he decided to go up there. The view would be worth it. There was a nice ( Read more... )

I didn't know who you were so I named you Peter Harvey. I hope that's alright. I remember that time when I saw you struggling with that car door. I saw the anger and desperation when you realized you left the keys inside your red Toyota. I was at a friend’s apartment across the street from the park where you left your car, watching from the window ( Read more... )

I was taking a shower and I heard a knock on the door. My father probably wanted to take a shit. All I had to do was reach over and open the door but I didn't want to hear him shitting. I tried to hurry up but the next thing I heard was a disgusted yell. My father probably shat himself. My embarrassment grew. I froze. Then I melted and went down ( Read more... )

Timmy prayed for the first time in a while. He even got down on his knees by the side of the bed like those rosy cheeked children did in the movies. He asked God to get rid of the mice that occasionally occupied his apartment. There was something about the way they looked and how they dashed along his walls that seemed unnatural to Timmy. He always ( Read more... )

Maggots are little yellow semi-transparent larvae. Flies put them on food so they can feed while they learn to fly. A fly put them in the gunk and water that accumulated on the bottom of my plastic toothbrush holder. One morning I went to brush my teeth and saw some maggots climbing my toothbrush handle. Was this disgusting? I washed them off and ( Read more... )
