This doesn't actually have anything to do with writing, but yesterday evening I discovered that my laptop has a built in microphone. It is very cool, because I put the computer on a setting for being able to here what the microphone is picking up, and now I can hear the keys clicking, among other things, through my headphones. YAYAYYAYAY!

A strange story
Mm kay, so I checked out Writing Magic by Gail Carson Levine, and was doing some of the writing exercises, and here's one of them. The prompt was "Think of a boy and girl you know. Picture them as adults. Imagine they are forced to marry each other. Write what their lives would be like. Write their dinner-table conversation on their first anniversary."
*This is a fictional story about real-life people. Their names have been changed to protect their innocence.
Once upon a time, there was a couple that had been forced into marrying each other. Their lives completely normal.
The husband was Blake Wallace, and he worked for a company called Apple. He developed new iPods, iPhones, iPads, and more. His wife was Glory (Fall) Wallace, and she was a writer, had published three books, and was writing a fourth. On their first anniversary, their conversation went a little like this.
"So, Blake, what did you work on today?" Glory asked.
"Not much. Just a hologram app for the old iPod touch that was discontinued five years ago," he said, glancing up from his iPad. "What about you?" he asked.
"I made progress on my novel," Glory said, gesturing to her Microsoft laptop. (side note: the kind of laptop is important)
"You still have that hunk of junk? I could get you the newest MacBook if you wanted it," Blake said. Glory shrugged, returning to her potato salad.
Blake got up, after finishing his dinner. "I'm going out to the deer blind," he said. It was hunting season, and Blake was an avid hunter.
"You should make an app for attracting deer." Glory laughed Blake smiled, grabbing his vest.
It's kind of short, but, oh well. Andrea, have you done it yet?
