I got the go-ahead to share my 100-word microfiction story!! The assignment was to write a story that includes chasing something (however you want to interpret the concept of chasing something) and the word “grow”. It can be in any genre(s). I had one brave guesser (shout-out to Jewish Young Professional!) on my guess-my-genre post,Continue reading “My story!”

Ambiguously good!
I have good news of an ambiguous nature. I think I’m golden to compete in this weekend’s microfiction final! Go me! I waited 24 hours to hear back from Charlie and then I figured he can’t handle interacting with me due to my constant hysterics. (I totally don’t blame him.) So I took a gambleContinue reading “Ambiguously good!”
My one shot at redemption.
I had a complete meltdown a while back, just over a month ago I think, when someone who I really don’t like won the NYC Midnight short story competition. I was just very affronted by it, because she’s not a good person. On the forum, she’s a snarky bitch, an instigator, and a very patronizingContinue reading “My one shot at redemption.”
The check is in the mail.
This is freakin’ hilarious. As you all know, I’ve been helping Mother at her condo and also taking her out for errands and such. She’s trying to organize her living space, and often she’ll give me small stuff that she doesn’t want. Most recently it was a conch shell. I thought it was pretty, butContinue reading “The check is in the mail.”

Because I’m a gonna rock that tutu!
Well, I’ve got a scheduling conflict. As you all know, I’ve been struggling mightily to lose fifty or so pounds that I’ve been carrying for the past ten years. I was just now messing around online and checking out if I can take an in-person class, now that the threat of the coronavirus seems toContinue reading “Because I’m a gonna rock that tutu!”
Updates from Meg world!
I’ve done a lot of soul-searching and have realized, both by reading my food book and talking to Ashley Leia in the comments, that I need to face my junk food addiction head on. What I need to do is wait until I have an intense craving for junk food, preferably for some I canContinue reading “Updates from Meg world!”
Escaping Pandora
This is my story for NYC Midnight’s short story competition, round 1. To those of you who helped me make it better, thanks!! 🙂 The assignment was to write a short story (2,500 words or less) in the mystery genre, including a soldier, and involving a prediction.

The day the music died.
I did a search to make sure I’ve never given this title to a blog post before, but what do you know? I haven’t. So, yeah, the music died earlier. I was at the gym doing my morning workout on the treadmill when it happened. Thus, I was forced to watch the treadmill’s television forContinue reading “The day the music died.”
My new goals
It’s occurred to me that I’m not really an unhealthy eater (although I certainly can be), but I’m not capable of dieting enough for weight loss. So I’ve been trying to watch what I eat while exercising myself to death. After a few days of crunching numbers and seeing what’s possible, my goal is toContinue reading “My new goals”
