DONE

[jade_sabre]

So I'm back home, yay! Sitting in my favorite locally-owned coffee shop sucking down fruit tea, yay! Staring at my AmeriCorps application with a great deal of trepidation. I am dumb. Avoiding it by making this post! This is not my graduation post; this is my "what should I read this summer?" post.

SO basically the idea is hit me with a book you think I should have read in college, and if I haven't read it, I will add it to my list. Hint: my list already includes The Great Gatsby, Jane Eyre, and Huckleberry Finn.

I will probably talk more about actual graduation and thoughts about what I want to do with my life later but since I am being all avoidance-y I should keep this short.

Also if I missed any important/amusing posts from the last week and you think I should read them, link me.

Also if I have the entire plot of an approximately 20K-word Katara-centric Ursa-related ATLA fic, should I write it?

p.s. I did not call myself dumb that was Malone stealing my computer.

Ooh! It could be fun to read new ATLA fic. I don't even try to read fanfic, even that supposedly better than canon Zutara stuff people raved about two years ago or whenever. I just can't. But I would love to read some by you. WRITE IT!!

Also...read Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner. I cannot recommend that book enough. We read it in one of my lit classes--I'd never heard of the guy before--and it is amazing. Stegner has made me ok with writing things from my own experience. Anytime my Mom told me "write what you know" (instead of fantasy), I balked (and I still kinda do), but Stegner made it ok. He showed me that the simple things of everyday life can be turned into beautiful stories. *happy sigh*
