The Observations of Inanimate Objects, Full Description


Before we get started, and to clarify: This blog is an attempt in exercises of creative writing. Be not fooled, as this is not a blog about exercises or exercising, for I try not to attempt that too often these days. That said, it is my desire to write stories from the viewpoint of the proverbial fly on the wall… But more like the fly that was colored by your 3 year-old at church pre-school. I want to know:  What does that fly see? The thing that was created, but cannot move, make sound or expression to properly articulate the various goings on around it, the stories it spies. So these are the observations of inanimate objects. They are typically objects that I come across, think are interesting, and snap a photo of with the handy iPhone. I make up a story from their perspective, once again, as an exercise in creativity. All of these stories are entirely made up, except for the ones that are not. But mostly they are made up (creativity!). Hopefully you, the reader, will suffer through and perhaps begrudgingly enjoy at least one of them. If so, then I can somehow not know about it in peace and joy. Thanks for stopping by!
