Memories
before reading
This story just appeared one day while I was rolling around
my house in a rolling chair, so I popped open my netbook and wrote it. I
remember it was like a song or an epic poem, flowing out of my brain and on the
page. The copy was clean and required only spell-checking. I also remember that
this was the first absolute “Creative voice” story I ever wrote, with
surprising—and disturbing—results.
Review
after reading
The first thought is: I really like the ending, and the
opening paragraph pops along. I use the word crypt-crèches, which is classy. I
think it’s atmospheric—but the writer has the atmosphere in his head, so he
can’t judge—and worth the time.

It's rare for me when stories leap forth nearly fully formed, but it's a great cause for rejoicing when it happens. Keep harnessing that awesomeness, sir
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm churning these out like there's no tomorrow, just in case there isn't.
