Howdy!
Here is a story story composed along the lines of the only writing exercise given in Stephen's book On Writing. It's called Edie
The exercise is to describe a situation without thinking about plot.
It worked! And was quite an eye opener for me. I've been stuggling with a historical novel I'm calling The Amarna Letter and the idea of plot has given me lots of headaches.
Now I'll just look at each event as a situation (basically what I had been doing all along).
If you enjoy it please drop me a line at
