How I’ve Been Writing Lately

This is not advice. If it were advice it would be bad advice. It’s what I’ve been doing lately.

1. I started writing stories in the present tense.
   • Changing, he said, she said, they said to, she says, they say, he says feels clumsy.
   • I like the way script dialogue seems to more naturally inhabit now.
   • But reading scripts comes with its own clumsiness; they’re not meant to be a story’s final form.
2. I’m trying to merge script-like dialogue into a readable final form.
3. I’m having a lot of fun.
