Introduction / Week 0

[occasionally]

In the morning, I stumble into the room, guided by the dim outline of light around the edges of the pocket shutters. Perhaps once they were able to completely darken the room, but two hundred years later the wood is warped and covered with too many layers of paint. Still, they keep the room dark enough and provide insulation against the winter

I'm the person who goes through life seeking out main characters; surrounding myself with them; collecting them, if you will. I'm the one who remembers them and transmits that memory into the world.

What a beautiful line, and a beautiful thought.

[occasionally]

Thanks. I feel like I'm starting to find my words again.

This is wonderful! You are in the game! Yay!

[occasionally]

I'm glad to be in the game. I think it's good for my spirit to write.

[momebie]

The overall tone of this is delicious. And I'm incredibly curious about them, as I tend to be when a them appears.

[occasionally]

Thank you. Maybe they'll make an appearance in a later entry. Or maybe not. We'll see where the game takes me.

I enjoyed the feeling of moving around in time from paragraph to paragraph. The knitting sentences helped bind each scene together. Your writing is so lovely, especially for Idol.

[occasionally]

Thank you. I'm glad the movement and knitting things up worked for you.

[comedychick]

This was a delightful taste of what we might find from you this mini-season. I liked the way you switched between paragraphs.

[occasionally]

Thanks. I wanted to display not just pieces of my life, but pieces of what sort of writing I might produce.
