I am constantly fighting a natural tendency toward a writing style that smacks of business/technical instruction, so when I can get this storytelling side of my brain to engage, it's like an odd little writer's high.<br /><br />Sorry I didn't get to last week's Light and Shade prompts. I hope to jump back in, this week.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248039895309440085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886083500566528444.post-49474794181733342402014-05-12T13:28:10.261-04:002014-05-12T13:28:10.261-04:00Thank you so much for stopping by!

For the past couple of years, I've been taking some of the 700 hobo names in John Hodgman's brilliant almanac of fake facts, "The Areas of My Expertise," and giving them short back-stories. I try to sprinkle in just enough reality to make them believable. Also, as I've begun to learn more about the real hoboes and their world, I've tried to treat them with respect.<br /><br />I don't always succeed, but I'm having a lot of fun trying!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248039895309440085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886083500566528444.post-59145118920833715412014-05-11T07:20:28.234-04:002014-05-11T07:20:28.234-04:00That is an amazing story.
