     It can be dangerous around our house when someone sinks their teeth into a new book. People suddenly disappear, holed away while devouring their tasty new mind meal. Take me, today, for example. My dad has helped me develop a taste for trial lawyer/mystery books, like those by Randy Singer (his less intense books) and Robert Whitlow. After a day of studying and struggling to pound out  an essay as bland as unsalted Saltines, thoughtful, gripping fiction re-whets my appetite for writing and reading in general. It even makes me want to cook up something of my own. However, you probably won't be able to sample any of my concoctions soon, because I prefer to write at the speed a crockpot cooks. We both let things marinate for a while. And that's unfortunate since I'm planning on taking the CLEP English Composition with an essay --  which must be planned, written and edited in 45 minutes. Microwaved essay, anyone? I don't find it very appitizing. Most of my practice essays so far have been...hmm...undercooked. Or maybe overseasoned. Whatever it is, the receipe needs some work.
     But that's enough food for thought right now. I don't want anyone to feel overfed; isn't it better to leave readers hungry for more?

Oh, ugh! I hate short essays! I have a rhetoric and compostion class that has several in-class essays this year, so I'll have to get over it I guess. But I would much rather have a few weeks to write a paper than a half hour (or an hour) to write an essay.

I have never been very good at writing essays. I would ESPECIALLY not be good at writing an essay in 45 minutes! But as to books, I love those! Books are an all-time favorite!

Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

Ugh...I don't like 'microwaved' essays either...though I'd never heard them described quite like that before! ;)
And yes, I'm back from Scotland!! :D It was an amazing trip!

About Me


Welcome to my little perch! I'm Kori, an 18 year old homeschool graduate who is the oldest of five kids. I'm an MMK (minister of music's kid), and I'm very thankful for the family the Lord chose for me! A few of my favorite things are reading, writing , playing piano, and working with kids. Right now, I'm pursuing a degree in music using distance education and CollegePlus! The most important thing in my life is my relationship my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In this blog, I want to sing His praises and encourage others to praise Him as well. Enjoy the music!

Luke 12:6-7 (KJV)

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
