This is an excellent read: "The Notification" . I'm calling the genre "Contemporary Gothic" because I love a good oxymoron.
On a related note, Robert Waltz, you may have met your match in the procrastination department. (You read that correctly: it's definitely a gauntlet.)
I told you all a couple weeks ago that my voice was back. I didn't know it at the time, but I meant it was starting to come back. It's been coming and going in the way that summer and winter in Ohio come and go during those seasons we call "spring" and "autumn" - with gradually more coming than going as the weeks press on. Today, I had the full use of my voice for nearly the entire day. And yesterday, I helped a student with his audition monologue for the school musical, and I was able to demonstrate PROJECTING TO THE BACK OF THE ROOM without hurting myself.
Parkinson's fucking sucks.
Speaking of projects, my goals update is below. I wrote my first ode today: "Ode to Candy" And as of this posting, I'm 2 for 7 in my current "26 Paychecks " assignment. Still owe a "The Bradbury" submission for the week, but while the month is over in a few hours, the week has yet another day to offer.
Literarily,
Michelle
