To write short, meaningful stories, one must think big and read wide, but watch and listen for the small things, the tiny moments when the best (and sometimes worst) of what it is to be human is revealed.
Recognize these moments, moments after which everything is different.
Write about that.
Paul D’Arcy tells stories. All real. Most brief. You can read more at pauldrc.com.
training yourself to notice and capture those moments it’s a reason to write. Thank you for articulating this so well. I’ll be sharing this with my fellow writers. x
Thanks, Joanna ☺️
Very true!
Easier said than done, I’m afraid 😉
Beautifully said, Paul.
Thank you, Carol
This is something I will read again and again.
Love this! Perfectly expressed.
Thanks, JD!
