The Closet Nerd Network: X Fiction (as in extreme... )

1. 1-20-08, 9:38
2. I'll work till 11:00
3. I'm going to read some of the stories in my Extreme Fiction anthology and then try my hand at seeing if I can emulate any of their uses of voice for my short writing assignment for next week. I'm going to do fiction this time.
4. Went ok I'm kind of getting an idea of what I'd want to write. I thought I did a good job in class today with the writing assignment but I don't think that's what I was to expand. I went over a few stories in Extreme Fiction (which Story by Lydia Davis is in) and I'm thinking about using The Elevator as an example... I dunno if that would focus so much on voice though... No yeah it would. Anyway...
5. Tomorrow night from 10-11, I'll try to actually write something mimicking The Elevator.

Theme Song

She's writing, she's writing,
She's writing a novel.
She's writing, she's weaving,
Conceiving a plot.
It quickens, it thickens.
You can't put it down now.
It takes you, it shakes you,
It makes you lose your thought.
But you're caught in your own glory.
You are believing your own stories.
Writing your own headlines.
Ignoring your own deadlines.
But now you've gotta write them all again.

You think she's an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
You think she's an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
Do you? Do you?

You want her, confront her.
Just open your window.
Unbolt it, unlock it,
Unfasten your latch.
You want it, confront it.
Just open your window.
All you really have to do is ask.

But you're caught in your own glory.
You are believing your own stories.
Timing your contractions.
Inventing small contraptions
That roll across your polished hardwood floors.

You think she's an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
You think she's an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
Do you? Do you?

You think she's an open book,
But you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
Do you? Do you? Do you?
