Thanks AlmoundJoy ... Suggs is a character I write about sometimes. One day maybe I'll actually trascribe it from hand-written notebooks and post some of them here.
I've been accused of being sarcastic and dark before.
One thing about writing that most people overlook is the "editing" part. We tend to become myopic about our own art ... so the observation and suggestion you made is very appreciated. Art usually gets better when collaboratibg.
Actually, that might be an interesting writing exercise. Take a short character sketch--such as the one I wrote above-- and have other TFP'ers completely re-write it. In any style. I'd love to see someone turn THAT into a poem, or an upbeat love-story or something.
Anyone game? In another thread of course.
