Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |
Saturday, January 27, 2007The Mirror: The one that types in your mind
Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Hold on a minute, nothing is your idea! W: This whole thing was your idea? M: Are we going nuts? W: We're racing against time, we only have a couple more minutes. M: Physical/Mental. W: Both are stressed to the utmost! M: Am I too rational for you? W: I can't even think about it long enough to answer! M: It was just enough. W: Just enough time to touch base. M: Occasionally, one thrust into idea, action or possibility completes itself, and is answered by the world. W: So this convo was just long enough to make us famous, sought after. M: You never thought I was an intellectual? W: On the contrary, I always knew you were. M: Do you have carpal tunnel syndrome? W: I have a mild case. M: I thought you were that inner voice. W: The one that types in your mind? M: Whisper it to me, then. W: (Speaks sotto voce) M: OK, Mirror, good night and goodbye. W: Goodbye! M: Closing in 1 second ... Goodbye!
