Lesson 12A Lesson by Tantra Bensko Arrangement Words don't have to be arranged on the page in the usual way in fiction. It can do whatever it wants, like poetry can. A lot of Experimental Fiction goes wild with placement. Sometimes the visuals are extremely important to the meaning or the desired effect of the piece. Sometimes, just a little toggling of the sentences here and there is all this is needed. Write a story in which you know you'll be doing something unusual with where you break sentences, where you pick them up again, where you leave white space. Let that effect the topic, and tone. Sometimes you can mimic what you're describing such as maybe it's someone jumping off a cliff on a very windy day   Comments |
