... Quickest draw in the west ...

I wrote a short story yesterday morning. An entire story of about 1,300 words. Took an hour and seven minutes. I have no idea why I wrote it. But it was fun, which was, of course, the whole point. It's an odd piece titled "Just Say When," that's a little farcical and over the top. I don't usually do things on the edge of humor, and when I do it's usually more slapstick than farce. But it was pretty fun. (Maybe this is backlash from having spent two weeks trying to cram hard fiction into a reasonable story, eh?) After I plowed through the first thousand words, I played "End That Story" with myself, and brought it to a close within fifteen miinutes. When I read through it yesterday afternoon, the piece even stood up moderately well.   Of course, we saw "The Phantom Menace" yesterday evening. Very cool. We'll probably wait for a few days, then take Brigid to see it when she gets back. Have a good one.  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
