Classy

Registration has begun for the spring semester.  While my focus has been on fiction writing, I thought I'd mix things up with a creative non-fiction class.  It sounded like a happy medium between journalism (too structured) and fiction (not structured enough), and I'd heard a lot of good things about the professor.  The blurb in the course catalogue said:  Analysis of and practice in writing essays, biographies, and travel and nature writing.

Nature writing?

Um, I'm awesome at writing essays, am ridiculously excited about the biography portion, and can muddle through a travel piece.  But nature?  Wait, let me give it a go...

Nature
by Chickadee

Nature is what is outdoors.  Nature is trees and grass and flowers.  Nature also has a lot of bugs and it is hot.  While I might like to have sex in a meadow someday, otherwise I do not care for nature.

The End

Yup, I got it covered.

A wondeful, insightful essay. But sex in a meadow isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Hahaha. Why a meadow and not a beach? How about under a waterfall?

Why a meadow instead of a beach? Grass is softer and not sand. Sand is not fun to get in those hard-to-reach places that tend to get exposed during that sort of endeavor.

And I laughed so hard at that ending that my eyelid starting twitching again.

That was awesome. Seriously awesome.
