the writer

"Instead of copying current literature styles, I base my work on poetry or spoken-word storytelling, where timing is all-important and rhetorical devices must work to remind the reader of the story’s total content, at all times. For best cumulative effect. With that in mind, all my single-sentence paragraphs and echoing choruses and miss-stated 'burnt tongue' deliberate mistakes are methods to slow the reader and control the speed of the plot. It’s a style based more on 'beats' of time, like music."
