I finally finished writing the stories of the two major turning points of my life. Or let\’s just say…the major influences on who I am today.
There\’s the Alan story that happened just last year.
Then there\’s the Heather story that happened almost 8 years ago. As I wrote it, the memories came rushing back and I was a sixth grader again. It nearly made me cry all over again. Haha, but then you\’ll have to read to understand.
(you may hear this a lot)
agh! I hate navigating with the keyboard. All those Tabs and Enter keys. Disregard that stuff up there.
OMG Jen, sorry. I\’m having a freak day I guess.
What I MEANT to say was that you may hear this a lot (I dunno), but have you ever considered trying to get published? That stuff is exceptional, even for a simple retelling of a piece of your life.
I can certainly relate to your \”Heather\” story as well…I had the same kind of issues when I was younger.
What…exceptional? Hehe, actually I never get that (anymore…since I have had writer\’s block since 8th grade no more fiction from me). Thanks though!!! :D Where would I get it published anyway? Ironically though, I have always dreamt of being a writer, but here I am stuck in the computer labs programming my life away…
I would certainly think that both of those could classify as a short story. I bet there are plenty of magazines that you could sumbit it to. :)
heathers are evil. i haven\’t seen the movie and need to. but anyway, my heather story. this takes place in 7th grade. heather was in my pre-algebra class. michele, my best friend, was also in that same class. they became fast friends. suddenly heather was all michele would talk about. how she was so great at math, how great she was at volleyball – all the things i was good at. the last years of elementary school michele looked up to me. but i had other friends and rotated through groups at recess so none of that really bothered me. it was how heather happened to like all the same guys i did. first blaize, then henry. henry lived by me and we were sorta friends. but then heather started stalking him too and blah. i liked him since i first set eyes on him the first day of school the year before. i don\’t think he and heather actually spoke to each other, so thinking back now, i have no idea why that of all things made me dislike her. and it can\’t be the friend thing, cuz her friends from elementary school actually hung out with me more than her. ok, now i\’m just confused. but yeah, my heather story. heathers are evil.
note to matt: jenn\’s gonna make a movie about the alan thing =P
if other people get to post heather stories, i want to post alan stories… i went to high school with alan… and the story is this… he sucks.
i have an alan story too!
… no wait, i don\’t.
I know a Heather but she was quiet. She was completely opposite of your Heather. I thought the story has a happy ending, but I guess you still hate Heather. I could relate to you, but I usually don\’t care about what other people think. I like being different. I finally know what was going on in your relationship with Alan. Sigh. First love can really leave you a mark. I hope it\’s short-lived. :)
