This last weekend, I took a walk with visitors. Their little child was terribly excited as we walked along, dashing ahead to look, then running back to tell us what was around the next corner.
I was thinking about that childhood enthusiasm for the little mysteries of "what's around the next corner?"
Perhaps that's the wonder of writing -- you get to decide what's there, hiding around that corner. And you get to tease us (your reader) into peaking around with you.
What do you think? What corner is your writing about to peak around? And how are you going to get me (the reader) to peak with you?
Tell us about the street you're walking down, the corners that hide things, and what lurks around those corners...
write!
