Shaina, you're making me hungry. I sure wouldn't mind if you made a banquet out of this appetizer...delicious!

I love the style. You can write short fiction. It's in you. The dog can run, you just gotta hold the leash tight. This has some fantastic phrasing.

Thanks so much! I’m working on it. It’s a new skill but it’s already helping me edit a bunch of nonsense out of my stories.

Cool and same title as the Camus masterpiece. Do you plan to publish more excerpts from larger works here in the future?

I do. Originally I was going to serialize some first drafts of novels, but decided against it. It’s hard for people to follow long form over multiple posts so I’m working on my short fiction. I’m new to it but the exercise is already helping my writing/editing.

I understand why you would decide to not serialize them. You write well. Thanks for the response.
