Dear
doubt,

We

I type ‘we’, so I can blame someone else, anybody, someone,
somebody,
a group, collective, the Other, other, the individual
being told
to make this decision,  never myself or maybe never
not myself, but
not me, stop thinking it is me rejecting you,
I am so sorry.

As
if that is a thing we have to do in fiction

well, maybe it
is

We
discovered the experiment of form is a preferred core value when
creating fiction.

at least,
let’s pretend it does. Or is this beyond pretending?
Am I
referring to the experiment of form in this rejectionl
etter
to
insert doubt in it anyway? Could doubt be a synonym
of form? Is
form able to create doubt, when applied the right
way in a
narrative, text, play, artwork, video, installation

So
we have to let you go. As we said earlier, we had to choose. Between
you, doubt, and the experiment of form when creating fiction, a
fiction. And yes, we know, choices in itself create the fiction, and
you, doubt always appear on stage before making a decision. We know
you are the catalysator of form, voice, atmosphere, charactar
development. But, you are doubt, so you keep thinking, repeating,
re-repeating, making pro- and con-lists. Do you get it? And we are
sorry to inform you that you, in this case, seem to obstruct fiction,
in a way. Make possible, but obstruct.

Sorry,
can I maybe go back to the start of the process of deciding?

No.

Is
this really what the ‘we’ wants?

Do
you think we did not overthink this decision well enough?


I am here since wednesday and it is awesome. There are lectures and workshops and assignments and there is a lot of discussion and conflict. We are getting somewhere and nowhere - that’s where we need to end up, in my opinion - while working towards a new mindset on fiction in the post-truth era. 

Today poet, writer, performer and podcast-producer Dennis Gaens assigned us to write a rejection-letter to something we value in fiction. I rejected doubt over the experiment with form.
