Favorite BooksThe Bible , The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Jane Eyre, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Wuthering Heights, The Bronze Bow, Resurrection, Anna Karenina, Cheaper by the Dozen, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, An American Tragedy, Around the World in 80 Days, Crime and Punishment, Treasures of the Snow, The Things They Carried, Flowers for AlgernonAboutAs is obvious by my carefully-constructed display name, my name is Laura. I'm a recent college graduate, now in full possession of an English degree. And no, I don't want to teach. Right now my career aspiration is to continue publishing works of fiction on as many blogs as possible until someone famous notices it and gives me a book deal. Well okay, that isn't likely to happen, but honestly, I write because I enjoy it, and I don't really plan on making creative writing my career. Right now I work in an office, filing and answering the phone, but I'm getting good work experience, and I like it.
Anyway... none of that is really all that important. What's most important is that I'm a Christian, and I believe that my life is in God's hands, so that's where I'd like to keep it. I want my writing to be able to stand out from a lot of what was produced in my writing classes, by holding to some form of hope and rejecting the cynicism and negativity that's so commonplace out there. I have a long way to go, but I'm hoping to have time to post here, and get more like-minded feedback :-)

May 7 | Hi Laura! Doug and I have been doing some singing. He told me I have a nice voice, and I thought he was complimenting me, until I realized...No, he's actually complimenting himself. :P
Perhaps I will write a limerick now, since I'm logged in. :) |

Apr 14 | Laura -
I'm glad you enjoy them!
Yes, every story is taken from real life experiences I've had as an interpreter, with very little changed. That's why the names did have to change though - patient privacy.
I love my job and there really are so many great insights that come from it - those are some older stories since I haven't written in a while but I'm going to be putting up some new ones soon.

Apr 13 | This is a test of the emergency broadcasting system. This is only a test. Had this been a real emergency, a great deal of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth would have ensued.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled work day. |

Mar 29 | I'm not sure if this will help any but the song I was listening to on cmt when I wrote mine was 'the call'. I think I took more the idea of an example scene followed by chorus, then scene, then chorus than I did the melody. I can't remember who sang it though. |

Mar 26 | Hey Laura,
Thanks so much for your kind comment on my writing. It means a great deal to me and made my week.
Your writing is quite impressive. I especially like "January" and "An Empty Room". Great word choice and visualization, with a touch of humor. I also love "Fibonacci Food". (BTW, I don't blame you for not wanting to teach English. It can be quite frustrating at times. Especially teaching middle school :)
Thanks again. Write on.

Dec 31, 2009 | Have you tried typing “the sound of snow” into Google search? Your poem comes up near the top of the second page. I just thought it was interesting, considering how hard people work to get rated up in Google searches. |

Jul 26, 2008 | Thanks. It was a bit of a challenge and of course it took more than 4 minutes - that was my cut & paste & re-read time. |
