It's an interesting experiment. But we shall see. I am willing to give it a real try, but am also skeptical at this point...
I wrote this little story from a flash of an idea one day, and I realized that it was an excuse not to work on the larger one I have in the works!
Oh how subtle a deceiver I am! Even fooled myself for a day or two...
I am not sure if fiction is my strength. But I am exploring it. I have to give it a try, I feel compelled to. And I have to stop looking at each attempt with such SERIOUSNESS. They are like drawings, sometimes they turn out well and sometimes you crumple them up and do another one. But when you think about it, most of our lives, writing has always been this serious business. Either for school or work or some other important life thing. It is difficult to switch from this kind of mode, to a different, playful creative one where your words are like paint or pencil and do not necessarily mean anything until you are ready to say that they do...
I don't know if this makes any sense, but I put it down here because this is what I have been mulling over today.
If I can get the story into any semblance of order, I may post it here later on. We shall see how the paint looks when it's dry :-)
