I first thought that it was a stream-of-consciousness type of piece (I've always liked writing that uses this!) but then I got lost around the porcelain Mary part. I get the feeling, however, that all this creative stuff is going on in your head, and I think that's wonderful. I just felt left out of the story when I read this -- like feeling left out of a conversation that's happening around you and you have no idea who is being talked about. <br /><br />As a reader, I felt privileged to be transported to many settings with snippets of different dialogue & description. You had the guts to experiment with something new, and I like the approach. And maybe it's good if we don't know everything. It leaves it open to interpretation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878264026805025549.post-8283904062180939282009-12-04T00:45:19.274-05:002009-12-04T00:45:19.274-05:00I found this to be a very interesting post.

I think the beginning was especially great, capturing clips of sound playing in the background that you are trying to ignore, but simply cannot because of how loud they are. I like how you captured the frustration of trying to concentrate and the idea that a bedroom or wherever you want to do work is like a sanctuary, and the idea that all that is separating you from the outside world is a door. This emphasis on you slamming the door and “placing a rather hollow rectangle of wood between [your] small holding and the cacophonous blasting of nonsensical noise that poured forth from [your] living room so often” is fantastic in that the thing that you are trying to use to separate yourself from the outside world is something that is really quite insignificant and “is never quite up to the task.” I really like the contrasts and the ideas of separation and search for solitude and serenity.Carley Laaksohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919273254791202461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878264026805025549.post-33314131117587395172009-11-29T19:20:35.984-05:002009-11-29T19:20:35.984-05:00I actually loved the part with Porcelain Mary.

Unfortunately I have to agree with Kyle in saying, what the hell are you talking about? The imagery is good, but where you were going with it gets lost. Daydream? Nightmare?

It seems like i was getting lost every other line. Especially with Porcelin Mary. My only suggestion would be to either directly let us know who is speaking which piece of dialogue or use a different font for each person.Kyle Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618112977994598611noreply@blogger.com
