Writing Exercise and suchlike.

I have, thus far, dropped the ball on doing a writing exercise once per week. Clearly I need to set aside a particular period in which to do this silly thing. I have no self-discipline. NONE.

I finally took a swipe at the last exercise I posted, though, whose results you are welcome to view below. I chose to write on:

( 387 - Hamburger shop on wheels eats up family funds )

I originally went into this exercise wanting to concentrate on description, but instead it wound up being about detail. I may come back to this setting at some point and play with this exercise a little more. I have John Steinbeck on the brain and I think it shows, not that I'm suggesting it's anywhere near as good - just similarly-minded in its intent (this is something that it might be fun to work toward, if I come back to this - getting feelings across with ostensibly neutral descriptions and physical details.)

Now to get back to work on the short story I fully intend to actually finish before the month is out, as well as that novel I should be editing.
