 This is not a Story

Hello and welcome to, not a story, featuring me, Elizabee. So here I am, sitting at my computer, procrastinating about writing for the day as usual and I just have the thought of, “I have no idea what to write tonight.” So for the sake of still writing something and keeping my streak alive, I’m just writing some stream of consciousness right now. So hello again, and welcome to what is going on inside my brain.

This is probably going to be really boring to read and I’m sorry for that but I felt I needed to write something, so this is what I got. I could have made a normal post being like “hey, I’m taking a day off,” and literally no one would care, but I care. I have a weird kind of perfectionism where, because I set my goal for writing everyday this year,  I have to keep doing it everyday and if I stop for just one day, it is so hard to pick it back up. I feel like I failed because I missed a day and will literally be like “Welp, I’ll try again next year.” I know that is not the best mindset and something I need to work on but that’s just how it is.

I guess you guys will also get to learn some random details about me during this stream of consciousness. I write that and then immediately cannot think of something else to write about myself.

The show must go on, I must keep this stream of consciousness going. Or maybe I don’t. I don’t really have a limit of how much I need to write each night, I just wanted to be in the habit of writing something every night. Some night if I’m really not feeling it, y'all might get two words on the page and I’m calling it a night.

But I also have to remember that I'm doing this for me. I like sharing it with people and seeing if they like it, but in the end I’m doing this because I enjoy it. So if some of my stories suck, or like this one isn’t even a story, this is just something fun for me to do. I do try and make my writing the best it can be because this challenge was also so I could practice writing and develop my style, as well as building the habit of writing.

Alright this is looking good to me. I will leave you all with one random fact I have decided to throw in this mess. While I have been writing this, I have been drinking some nice ice water out of a mug that is shaped like a toilet.


The End

9/21/22 Inhabitants of the Forest

  Inhabitants of the Forest The giant moose watched with its tiny human in the luscious green forest as the moon crumbled. A hand reached out in the sky and had taken hold of the moon. Harshly it squeezed, crushing the moon into tiny pieces.  The moose and the man did not move, they simply stood, staring at the whimsical sight in front of them. A slight breeze blew, waving the man’s cloak and rustling the moose's fur as the moon was crushed in the sky. The silent pair turned away and continued to walk through the woods. The moon was gone now, that was it, time to continue with life. Nothing would change for them, day and night would still come.  The forest grew a bit darker that day, no longer illuminated by the reflection of the sun. It was ok, the giant moose and little man just walked through the endless forest as they had always done; never staying in one place for too long.  This place was their home, they kept the forest as no one else would and no on...

7/24/22 Wiggly Fingers

Wiggly Fingers “Wiggly fingers, wiggly fingers, oh why won’t my fingers stop wiggling?” she breathed out. Her muscles had little minds of their own and were sending her fingers into overdrive. Wiggling back and forth, like typing on a thousand little keys in the air, her fingers would not stop. “Why won’t they stop,” she anxiously asked herself. From tapping on walls, to tables, to nothing, her fingers just kept going. Sometimes bending, sometimes straight, they couldn’t decide. Tight but still moving, curling in rhythmic ways, her hands were out of control. “Is panic causing my fingers to wiggle, or are the wiggling fingers causing the panic?” she wondered aloud. She paced around, her fingers still going. She couldn’t hold still, her moving fingers made her restless, and now her whole body wanted to be on the move. She had more control of the rest of herself, but her fingers were still off like lightning. “STOP!” she yelled, pressing her hands flat against a wall. No tapping occ...

2/27/22 Wasted Confidence

  Wasted Confidence “Hey! Leave him alone!” you shout down the street. You begin to walk faster, as you watch a poor man getting beat up by three men in dark hoodies. You run up to one of the hooded men and pry him away from the man laying on the ground. “Walk on, this ain’t none of your business,” the man says, shoving you away. “You are beating up an innocent man, I’m not just going to ignore that, so yes, it is my business,” you reply confidently. The men pause their torture of the man on the ground and begin to surround you. “I said, walk on.” You pull out a small pistol that you carry around at all times, “And I said, leave him alone.” The men back away as you point your gun towards them. You slowly walk towards the man on the ground and help him up, keeping your gun aimed at the hooded men. You sling the wounded man’s arm around your shoulder and begin backing away. The hooded men silently stare at you as you and the wounded man walk away. After you have created a g...
