Daily Journal Entry #1

The strong “kah” sound almost echoes off the whiteboard, betraying the name’s physical two-dimensional quality. No pause between the first reaching arm of the letter and the second sloping one. The effect is this small trapped space between the erect spine and the juncture of the branches. Swooping vowels “a” and “e”, written with such nonchalance, are separated by staccato “t” and vertical “i”. A larger than normal space between the first and last pieces of the moniker are a pregnant pause before the grandiose form of “S”. Leaning upon the slithery consonant is staccato “t”, less confident than his twin as he holds hands with rolling “r”, who in turn rests an elbow on little “o”’s head. Stand alone “n” shrugs in deference to “g”, which ushers out with a tail curling in upon itself. “Katie Strong”, the whiteboard reads. Just a simple name, but a story nonetheless.
