When I write fiction, well really anything, I often wonder if I've missed catching the audience's attention. Sometimes I get feedback, like on some of the stuff I've posted lately has gotten the reaction: What the heck was this? Some of it was experimental, some of it got a different reaction. I got some seriously low scores, yet got feedback from some who liked the same story.
I'm not worried about whether or not people liked the 'subject' so much as whether those who would read get to the first thousand words (heh! a good reason for writing flash, vignettes, and drabbles!) and give up because they feel they might as well be reading a badly done instruction manual...
Now where was I going with this?
Oh yeah, do I ever write stuff that leaves my audience thinking: Ghadddd that is drier than the Sahara in the middle of summer?
Have a good day,
