Mbarker Writing Exercise: A Passion for Narrative Part I

The writer is:

A storyteller

Gertrude Abercrombie

an enchanteur

a guide

Gertrude Abercrombie

and swimming in the resovior

in the writer’s head are

characters

waiting to be named and set free

music that plays from one single moment

that no one else can hear

bitter memories

nightmares

and memories that smell like burnt sugar and dry brown grass in a field full of dead flowers at midnight.

Gertrude Abercrombie

“It’s none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.” ~ Ernest Hemingway
