fiction packet

Earlier i read the fiction packet and i really like the way that they described everything. i didn't really tell us what was going on necessarily but would say what everyone was doing or certain things that one could see so the rest was visualized by the reader. At first i didn't even realize what was going on until i thought about it. They were well done in that i got the full picture but not in the way i'm used to. I found the baby at the liquor store story the most interesting. I don't know why someone would bring their baby to their liquor store, but this women seemed to have it all figured out. It seems that the baby is the most interesting thing in the world to her because it's her's. If someone else was the parent of the baby i don't think the person telling the story would be nearly as interested.

I also wrote a short story about physics land.

Physics land - air is not felt, it has the smell of water vapor everywhere, things are not seen but observed, sounds are hear if heard from the right distance, nothing is tasted but sensed through taste buds. A man named bob lives in this land and chases the way to break the unwritten laws. There is no way to break them and there are no consequences. One day bob however decided that if something were to have a negative weight and be made of nothing it would repel gravity. Bob used his particle divider and blew apart a big red box so that it was nothing and nothing was everything. The box then set off a chain effect which made all of the rules of physics land collapse in on its self and then Bob and everything he new was turned from everything into nothing.

The Book Bird by Bird was much more interesting then i thought it would be. Reading about how the writter grew up and seeing all these "secrets" of being an author revealed was fascinating. A line i found quite hysterical was "The United States of Advertising". This was so true in that no one really knows how things should be they just follow what the media and what companies selling us a product want us to believe. This is even how an author gets his ideas because of the show Californication i think that famous authors have amazing lives and get laid all the time. This as i read "Bird by Bird" showed me that this was indeed not at all true, most of the time anyways. The chapter Shitty first Drafts was my favorite part of the book those. This is exactly how i am with everything. I do a shitty job the first time, pretty good job the second time, and an amazing job the third time. I'm just better with learning from mistakes and fixing them. I don't think that i'm necessarily a writter myself but it can be applied to other things too.
