Thoughts on writing, reading and life and what I happen to be reading/writing right now.

There is no story or it is not just a story.
Recent reviews have left me feeling very strange and displeased with how my writing is viewed.

"Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. was reviewed as a 'cute story about a watchmaker' which wasn't to the point at all. It did have purpose, though I didn't make it blatantly obvious. I wanted to keep it descriptive and vaugely narrative, while still speaking to a point. I wanted prose instead of an essay. Grr.

"OverlappingOpen in new Window. received a review that said, "Intresting words...not much story [....] and I know you have a story just waiting to be written." There is no story. It's narrative, descriptive prose. No story involved. There will never be a story.

Why is there no real forum for short, narrative, prettily written prose?

I may write prose, but I am not what I would called a 'Fiction Writer.' I mean, sure, what I write is imaginative and fictional, but it is not commercial fiction.

End of story. I'm going to go be displeased elsewhere.

And write a poem about this very hot boy I watched play the bass guitar last night.

Cheers,
Sara
