Tennis and Habits: Creative Non-fiction Assignment #1

[birdonthewire]

Wrote this piece in response to the first assignment in a writing workshop that I am currently attending, on creative non-fiction. The exercise was to write a three paragraph story that begins with a wide-angle perspective, then looks closer, and finally zooms into something that’s meaningful to the narrator/protagonist. Word limit of 500 words.

So well-written. Good prose "sings". Yours just did.

Thanks deponti! Glad you liked it. I must be the only guy paying someone else so that I can write :-)

No...welcome to the club :D

Et tu! :-)

Wonderful, Arun! I checked out LJ on a whim after many years, and am so happy to see that you've kept on writing. Will devour the rest of your art slowly over the next day or so!

Ha ha, may you have more such whims! :-) It's a lonely place out here these days, like it was in the very beginning!

Thanks for the comment! You may have to login (if you still remember your password ;-)) to read most of my posts. Many of them are 'friends only'.

How are things otherwise?
