My friend Beth, as I’ve noted before, is an accomplished writer, having been working her way through the MFA writing program at Butler University. I’ve gotten to see many “assignments” (that is, works-in-progress—WIPs—to some of you), including the list assignment mentioned in this lovely post (and available here). You should read it. She’s also been published in the online literary journal Curly Red Stories. Short pieces, like the ones you’ve just read. You won’t soon forget this. Or this. Write on, my friend. 🙂
