In all honesty, I love writing short pieces because they are sort of like snapshots. Some of them could use some context, some of them probably don't make sense to anyone but me but I find they can paint a really powerful picture.
In the book I am currently reading, An Evening With W.O. Mitchell, W.O. Mitchell talks about how art is not a private experience and the reader's interpretation is just as significant as that of the writer. This -in my humble, relatively uneducated opinion- is a big reason why I find reading and writing micro-fiction so intriguing; the reader has so much room to interpret.
This week has been really good in terms of writing... I finished a couple episodes of my web series (first draft so still needs a bit of elbow grease). I also shot a video (probably won't post it because it's one of those funny-in-the-moment kind of things).
Blog is still being updated regularly (I haven't bored myself yet so I think I'm doing alright). I was worried by forcing myself to blog regularly that it would get too ranty or repetitive but 5 weeks in: so far so good (I know, not that far in, still plenty of time to get ranty and repetitive).
This next week, I'm going to hammer out some of the stale matey details of the first draft of our novel, get another episode written out (I'm grooving on this web series bit) and hopefully edit at least one of the videos I've shot. Still have not attempting podcasting but it has been rolling around in my brain a bunch :P
Week 2 we're through!
See you next week :)
