Newest Short Short--'Two Bags Full'
Hello to you GR friends who've recently joined me here! I always enjoy checking out your books, reviews and comments, trading impressions and insights. Glad you like what I'm doing here.
As some of you know, I am finishing a big Russian novel, and don't have much time for outside projects. But I do sometimes get the itch to work on something short.
So I've been writing short-short stories (sometimes even a poem) and posting them on my blog, stories based on an exercise I use with my students: pick a word--usually it's a simple one that can be either a noun or a verb-- and write two pages double-spaced, using that word as a jumping off place. You also have to use that word somewhere in the story.
I have a new one up now, 'Two Bags Full', from the word 'Home.' The next one is 'Plaster' if you'd like to post yours in the comment section! Drop by if you like:

I wish you good reading!
all best, Janet
