Thanks. I sold my soul at the crossroads, so I'm happy to know it paid off.
But more seriously, it helps to be clear/specific, while also tailoring word choice and word arrangement to do more than one thing at a time and contribute to the whole. I think a lot of people just throw a bunch of shit on the page when they should be working with a scalpel.
I can see the point you’re making, when I am writing there are times I choose the words I do because they are pretty, they aren’t always the best possible word for the full narration. I will keep this advice in mind.
Very cool Brian, like this one immensely.
As always, thanks for reading.
How do you do that, make me feel for a character in 125 words, you’re a wizard Brian

Very cool and very adept storytelling. And I love the idea of adding a soundtrack!
Thanks.
I really enjoy these little vignettes you sprinkle about here on Substack. Thank you for that!
You're welcome.
Great Brian. So sharp.
