There is probably nothing I have come to enjoy as much as my Rules of Writing pieces. They are about as therapeutic, comforting, and stress-relieving as some of my long runs. (You can find a link to all of them under the Favorite Posts tab at the top).
I didn't know I was going to write my most recent (5) below until a few hours before I started typing it up. I am not sure why but I'm especially happy with it. Or maybe I know a little bit of why I am happy with it but don't want to come off as being pretentious by saying it. I might be totally off my mark. It's very possible. It just doesn't feel that way to me and I guess there is no real way of knowing since I don't depend on this blog for readership, or feedback. Granted, those would be nice in cases such as these but I won't let it make or break me.
I would like to think Rules of Writing, 5 is good from a writing standpoint. I think I have gotten fairly good at capturing a moment in time. I think I have been able to create something with the way I've put together the words to conjure a picture of it in the readers mind. I would hope the characters are behaving in a real and natural way. I also would like to think I've made the reader a little curious about these characters and left them wanting to know a little more about them.
It would all be well and good if these things were true. I think in this particular segment I've come a progressive distance forward then some of what I may have put together two years ago. I would like to think that. It seems to feel that way but then I'm not the reader.
I am the writer.
