in the short story version
a clever sentence and an
abrupt exit a break of
two lines and a squiggle
and time has passed then
some follow-up twist
whereas the book
version draws it all out into
excruciating detail longer
than reality would seem to
allow -- the true novel
idea is verse: draw it down
to a few key strokes, make
space matter, and leave
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
justme
side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
