StorySquared

Those who know me know that I consist of four core components:
  • I am a dork (especially when it comes to anything digital)
  • I am social
  • I like to write
  • I am a procrastinator
What better way to combine all 4 by joining me on some collaborative writing at StorySquared. I haven't figured out fully how to work it. I think it's by invite only, which is bull. The more that I write about it here the more that I think that this could be done right here on this blog, sans StorySquared. The benefit on doing it on that site is that it manages contributions in a more efficient manner than I ever could.

If you're down, let me know. I'll invite you to my next story.

My first story on StorySquared:
Not Burnt Umber

Time and time again, Lisa has been told not to do crossword puzzles in the bathroom. She was feeling particularly skittish this rainy Monday morning and tiptoed into the bathroom with a Pilot gel pen (red) and the whole morning paper.

Why crosswords? Why the bathroom? She had no answers. No clues were offered to keep her intrigued. The thought escaped her. The grey sky from the overcast day, brought her endless streams of raindrops that seemed to whisper, “Think, Lisa. Think. Think. Think.” They slapped against the glass of the tiny bathroom window that gave her just enough light to write. Raindrops chanted as she focused on the first clue. Could they be cheering? Maybe she was mistaken. Time was not on her side. She had to complete the crossword---fast. First clue down or across? She breathed deeply and thought. And thought. And thought. Then, the light bulbs. Her mind opened. Scribbles from her left hand quickly covered the rough newsprint, and the red, shiny, glistening gel smeared her fingers. She smiled, of course. This one was easy. It was only Monday. The easiest known day for crosswords. Everyone knows that.
