So an interesting bit of serendipity happened yesterday in my intermediate creative writing (though I'm not sure how serendipitous it was...). My professor likes to read to us from a book called Bird by Bird by  Anne Lamott. She told us the very first day of class that we would love this book, and we do. As of late though, especially since we haven't quite caught up on work shops, we really had not been able to read through Bird by Bird. I pointed this out in a sad, vomit like epiphany on Tuesday, so my professor made it a point to start the class with the book, rather than trying to end it that way.

There should be a reverse indent on my bib, but you can't do that on livejournal, apparently. 

 Okay, so it's kind of a dumb title, but I'm going to roll with it for now until I can think of a better one. This is part 1 and 2 of the story (I only wrote part two today, so that's the only part that's going to go into today's official count; overall it's 4098 words long so far).

I should say that this story is inspired by the written works of Neil Gaiman, Rick Riordin and a girl in my Creative Writing Class, who won't be named for privacy reasons, but wrote an awesome poem influence by Greek Mythology.
