I wrote a story last night. The whole thing. All 1500 words (it's a short story, but it's mine). It wasn't the one I'd been working on for the past few days, but I think it is, while probably not great, pretty okay. It's about Bat Boy from all those tabloids. I blame Sean; he told me I had to write a bat boy story as a joke and I discovered he was right.

This place breeds ideas in the strangest way and places. It's amazing what sorts of things people are finding it in themselves to write.

Oh, and Gabriel, Howard actually explained later that short-short or sudden fiction (which he dubbed my story) have different rules than regular length stories.

And I have to try to get a story that is a regular length. Some of my classmates have told me I need to write a 10,000 word story no matter how bad just so I can say I'd done it and get over this block I have about stories longer than 2500 words. I have to say I agree.

So this was the first weekend and it really seems to be a time for people to compress, do laundry, and write. It makes sense to me. In the future I think it will also be a time to get away from campus. A couple of people have already started to go just a little stir crazy.

Well, the day has barely started, I slept in after playing Rummy with Jonathan and Ryan until two am, so I'm going to try to get some work done.

Bye for now, all!

Oh, and thanks to all the people reading and commenting. It's appreciated.
