Have any of you read Shirley Jackson? I find her short stories so fascinating. They're so short and simple and sweet and strange in the loveliest of ways. This makes me sound ignorant, but I'll say it anyways: I find it fascinating that a woman from her time wrote about the things she writes about. I'm going to have to read more of her.
Nostalgia. Terminus. Le sigh.
I miss everyone.
Posts like these must be so annoying to read. I'm sorry.
This has been open for hours. I don't really feel like writing.
Sorry.

"The Lottery" is my favorite of hers. I know it's probably her most well-known. but I still get little goose-bumps whenever I read it. I gave a presentation two semesters ago for my American Authors lit class...while that proved disasterous, I still learned so much about her. She was very progressive for her time, so I agree with what you say regarding the time period when she was writing.
I'm not entirely sure how I stumbled upon your blog...but keep writing. It's amazing how much better you can feel after writing down your thoughts. And now this comment has become obnoxiously long...
