I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I spent my time volunteering at auditions for the School of Music, eating cookie dough with my roommate, watching “Tangled” for the thousandth time, and attending two marvelously-prepared flute recitals. Alongside playing flute, reading, and writing, course.

Quick book update: I just finished Love, Lucas by Chantele Sedgwick (3 out of 5 stars from me) and I’m onto Shadow and Bone (The Grisha #1) by Leigh Bardugo, which is so good thus far. I also just purchased two books — yes, real books, not eBooks — from Barnes and Noble today, which I plan on knocking out during the break! Ah, books 🙂

I didn’t post for Day 3 yesterday because 1) I fell asleep, and 2) I wanted to add a little more this morning. So I have for you all today a March Writing Challenge Double-Header! The first short story is about a kid who finds his father’s hunting rifle. The second short story is about a narrator who suffers from a mental illness who begins to dissociate in a carnival fun house*. (I’m not sure why the prompt given for Day 4 made me think of this idea for a story, but I see it as ironic and contradicting.)

Read Taylor’s posts for Day 3 and Day 4!

Prompt for March 4th, 2017: Introduce a gun in the first sentence. Its use isn’t as expected.
