Blog 8: Oct. 20-24 Class Poll: Who Doesn’t Hate Mosquitoes?
Seriously, what in G___’s name inspired me to write this huge mosquito metaphor? First I write about the Devil in hell, and now I write about his minions that have escaped to Earth from Hell’s Gate. Well, now that it’s done, I’m still worried about it (as I finally finished expanding of Assignment 5 for Story #3 at the sac religious hour that is 2:21 A.M. on a Sunday morning). I am still wondering about the questions previously asked in my blog # 7, and now I’m worried about whether or not I am “offending” or making the reader feel unintelligent when I explain everything. I don’t doubt that the audience, after reading three pages of crazy talk (I will point out that my killer, naturally, is crazy) appreciate an explanation, but I will make it a point during the workshop to ask if anyone felt as if I was talking down to them. I’ll also ask if the case was “closed” too neatly, and if the ending was therefore boring and cliché. It’s strange: a part of me is pleased that I would consider this a finished story, unlike Raising Arms with its missing battle scene, and well, everything, but in lieu of this story’s completion… I don’t like it any better than Raising Arms. I would even say this story was better constructed and everything, less confusing, and more action packed, so what gives?
