SOOO...I'm reading this book and loving the heck out of it. On page 170 SK asks we give this exercise a try. 5-6 pages. Well, mine ended up being nine. I was worried there for a minute...this is a time span of a few years all in just a few pages so it seemed rushed then I remembered, we're just finding the bones...the bare bones of perhaps a short story or novel. Just unearthing ... so it's okay! He gave the premise, then turned it on its head. Not like anything I've written previously, but I just sat down and did it and it was great fun. I've attached the first two graphs here. (if anyone wants more, give a yell). Let's just say there's a stiletto theme that emerges and I think the sufficiently dark ending might please SK. Off to finish the book. Take care.
