SOL March 7: Fragment

Found in my journal from 2010, possibly a note for a story (which I never wrote)?

 

"History—the effort to connect the discrete moments of life into a narrative whole

"A person who tries to escape that narrative, but focusing on the moment-by-moment, always starting over, but the power of narrative overcomes his[her] resistance by creating alternative narratives that he[she] recognizes as false"

 

What kind of story could this be? an accumulation of "slices of life"?

 

-------------------------------------

I’m participating in the 14th annual Slice of Life Challenge over at Two Writing Teachers. This is day 7 of the 31-day challenge.  It’s not too late to make space for daily writing in a community that is encouraging, enthusiastic, and eager to read what you have to slice about.  Join in!
