Mediocre Writing Crappy Flow
Mediocre Writing Crappy Flow is the author's honest attempt at trying to complete a Novella length composition. Written during the quarantine time as part of #campnanowrimo, the present volume introduces the writing style of the author through the medium of five short stories, an essay and a flash memoir, all stand-alone-except one bonus piece at the end-the first chapter of the author's #wip , Shvapach, about a perceived utopian future at Mars when Earth is rendered uninhabitable.
The first story, for kids, is about a snake charmer that allows his snake to gobble birdies. What happens of him and his snake, after they are caught in the act, is followed in the story. It tries to make kids understand the right way of feeding snakes.
The second story, for lovers, is about a young couple discussing going to a film about a same-sex relationship. The discussion that follows reveals that it's not love but sympathy and trust that is binding them together.
The third story, for friends, is about two childhood buddies from the same tribe who now stand opposite each other, on the implications of a dam inside the jungles.
The fourth story, for scribes, explores how much the first work of an author is the reflection of her life.
The fifth story, for dreamers, is about an independent woman trying to shake off her aristocratic identity. Her father makes her fall back in line using love as a weapon.
The essay, for women, explores the first profession in the world by evaluating the various claimants to the title and how women came to become the first commodity.
Flash memoir, for me, is a monologue of a person walking through a park during springtime, the king of seasons when everything is extra energised.
Written in British English, palatable to US English readers and understandable by all others, Mediocre writing Crappy Flow, tries to put into a philosophical perspective, the day-to-day experiences that we ignore in the daily hustle of trying to put food on the table.
