new layout & beginning of clinicals

It’s been a little over a year since I opened this domain so a new layout was in order. Starts off with Moby-Dick — god, I wanted to stab that book — and ends with my version of the ending credits of Woman in the Dunes.

I started clinicals last Wednesday. My instructor contacted me last Tuesday and I opted to start immediately. No sense in putting it off.

I’m pleased. It’s my first time on the clock in over three years because of my disability even if I’m not getting paid! The pharmacist is lovely and its privately owned so its the perfect start for me.

a couple of concerns

Protected: Short Story

Re-read the short story I wrote for my workshop last Fall. It went through about four revisions but I’m not sure I like it after taking it out of deep freeze and taking another look. It’s a short story about the evolution of a relationship between a brother and a sister during World War II, not exactly incestual but not exactly not. Nothing graphic.

I think the lack of names works in this case, as does the third person. The detachment of third person is meant to keep the ambiguity of the relationship. Comma placement continues to be a plaguing problem. My grammar is terrible. I think one major problem is that it originally was a 600-or-so word flash fic that felt completely off for the fandom since the characters in the fanfiction only had a nodding acquaintance with their real counterparts. It makes me feel uncertain about the whole thing.

Anybody willing to go over it? Or even if out of bored interest, wants to read it. :P
