RE: Jazz Man: The image is made of own imagination and thoughts - competition 38
A beautifully creative, stream of consciousness story of a girl who loves to dance and her introduction to her bass playing uncle - the jazz man.
I love the way this piece of writing flows with a stringent chaos... just like a good piece of jazz music.
Awesome Carol!
I love you Raj!!!
Time after time, I'll write some stream-of-consciousness pack of lies (aka fiction), and you see a thread, a pattern, some sort of meaning, when my own offspring declare me "unreadable" and obscure, discursive and disorganized. Your kind words keep me going when it seems I'm going nowhere fast with useless prose hardly anyone can read. #ThankYou!!!!
Never think that Carol... the problem with steem at the moment is that there is little to no audience for quality writing that falls outside of the catagory of 'banging on about steem'.
This platform is the definition of an echo chamber at the mo. Fingers crossed it will evolve backwards toward what it once was (an exciting and engaged community of talent in all genres of content creation) with time. Keep heart, and as long as you're enjoying what you're writing keep going :)
The woman got a @curie, so maybe good creative writing has a hold now? We can hope. The only stories of mine that have gotten curies were about music that I can remember, so maybe that's the ticket.
Excellent story Carol. However, I see we have not quite made the transition to eliminating self-deprecatory remarks like we discussed! It's cool! I can't stop either! I loved this.
Thank you, both of you! Raj, Steemit is just about the ONLY place that affirms me as a writer. My offspring find me discursive and unreadable. Face-to-face (vs cyber) riends and family almost never encourage or affirm me as a writer, but so many other writers tell me the same thing, I'm beginning to realize it's ok to thrive on the internet. :) THANK YOU and yes, @owasco, I'll try to cease and desist with the self-deprecation, and will call you to task for it too if I catch you at it. :)
