"God, this project is such a time #sink," complained Jasper.

"My problem with time sinks," said an owlish character who'd appeared out of nowhere, "is how quickly they get filled up, if you don't keep on top of cleanup, and then you don't even want to touch the time in them--so nasty and crusty--but you don't have any clean time anywhere, so ...

#WritersCoffeeClub 5 April: How can the physical form of the writing become part of the storytelling?

One of the things I wrote, PEN PAL, is an epistolary novel that also contains diary entries, log notes, newspaper stories, and email exchanges. I daydreamed about how cool it would be to have a deluxe edition of the book where the letters were done in different handwriting fonts, on different papers, and the newspaper articles on newsprint, and the emails, printed out as emails, etc.

Gloriannie was fascinated by the girl who got off the bus at the Benton stop. She wore pink headphones & radiated an inner calm that Gloriannie yearned for.

Gloriannie made a #concerted effort to catch the girl's eye, & finally one day it happened. The girl slipped her headphones off & looked at Gloriannie questioningly.

"I-I was wondering what you listen to" Gloriannie stuttered. The girl smiled & put the headphones on Gloriannie. "They're noise cancelling," she said.
