Four Spaces
Mar. 20th, 2006 11:15 pmOnce again, I need to preface this by saying I have no idea what I'm talking about. Not one single idea. I just bumble around in the dark and once in a while I imagine that I have an idea about what's in front of me. But it's probably just the result of too many pringles. So take all this with a grain of salt.
I've been thinking about this one for a while.
In order to tell one story, I've determined that I need four spaces. These spaces are sometimes physical (or digital), but sometimes they're metaphorical. In order for something to grow, be cultivated, and, you know, "cook", you need to have a space to put it in. If you want it to grow in particular ways (say, if you're like me and it doesn't all spring fully-formed from your skull), you need to give the story different kinds of spaces to grow in. So far I have identified four separate spaces that have proved useful to me. Insofar as I know what I'm talking about which, again, is questionable.
( Four Spaces )
Maybe one day I'll feel that I can stop with the disclaimers. But that's not going to be anytime soon.
