art day 26 – [story fragment] My Best Story EVAR!
Posted by Grá on Apr 1, 2009 in That's Just Silly |
I haven’t quite finished this story. But it really wowed them at Clarion. The potential it has…
——————————-
[Need a killer opening line.]
[Really vivid setting details. (Don't forget the character ... quirky!)]
[Have to research hard sci-fi sciency stuff. Make people think i'm smart.]
[Something awesome happens!]
[Try fail cycle. (Thematic allusions to feminist critique of capitalism?)]
[Depressing fatalistic ending. (Kill the baby?)]
——————————-
Honestly, I thought it was by far your best work. *G*
I dunno, Gra. I mean, it’s as good as I remember — but rereading, now, I think maybe you could have done more with the whole Theme thing.
I still say the story needs a mythological allusion to really resonate.
Maybe something about the Spurs?
Genius = Me
Thanks, Neil. I\\'m ready to take it to the next level.
