That sounds fun and kinda crazy! The houses on stilts always look bizarre to me but my friend who lives down there loves his and I can imagine that when a hurricane moves in that the water swirling below rather than threatening at your door is a big bonus. <br /><br />Stream of consciousness the whole way through would be too much (too rich maybe??) but I use it in places where I think it's effective in evoking emotions.

I'd like to see where this goes. <br /><br />did i ever tell you i spent some time in the Keys? i was with my americorps NCCC team, mostly doing invasive species removal. we camped in big pine key for a couple days and then lived in a 2br house on stilts in key largo (12 people, one bathroom!) it was an interesting time. a beautiful place.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510930442893108525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628081882250550441.post-46578678900919422472011-01-31T05:58:22.373-08:002011-01-31T05:58:22.373-08:00It's not an apocalypse story.

I don't use the effects on every page but they come up in different places throughout. I haven't read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance so I can't compare them- but I read a lot of Jeanette Winterson. She's had a lot of influence on me and her work may be characterized as... meta fiction? This part is stream of thought-- it's not the way the whole work reads but it works for driving down the highway. Thanks for taking the time to read it and commenting, Liz!Danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043881305977386629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628081882250550441.post-64153797518204988062011-01-31T04:31:42.520-08:002011-01-31T04:31:42.520-08:00The writing is very visual.
