a million little vignettes

last night i couldn't sleep because in my head i was narrating a million little vignettes to include in my most recent concept for a book which will be entitled "a million little vignettes." my first vignette will be about trains in manassas and airplanes in ashburn and sounds. the second about my mother doing laundry in the evening. the third will be about a library full of leather-bound books. the fourth possibly about God, but this is the undeveloped musing i contemplated before sleep overwhelmed me last night. her companions were nightmares of nate nelson forcing me to eat hot dogs with relish and my boyfriend finding me under some covers in my bed and beating me with a stick. mean, mean boys.

another piece worth noting was an email that i received from my media law teacher last night. he was returning an electronic paper i submitted during the semester and included the following glorious statement in the closing commentary: "your writing is superb!" !!! not good, not great, not even excellent- nay! superb! my first published piece of literature as a self-proclaimed writer receives a first-rate review from a distinguished lawyer and professor. victory!
