Packing Heat 096: Multiples

Multiples


Multiples can be powerful!

Here's a piece I saw at SFMOMA. (I had remembered it as "milk bottles" as I was recording the cast...how strange, with the baby in the center of the piece, which I didn't remember until I looked at the photo again.)

What are some ways in which "multiples" can work for your writing?

  • Always have multiple submissions making the rounds if you're looking to break in to publishing
  • Don't be afraid to write multiple stories with the same theme
  • If you're stuck, coax yourself back to the keyboard for multiple (and nonthreatening) 10-minute sessions
  • Try out a scene that's not working multiple ways

Your Assignment


The next time you're stuck on a sentence, commit to re-writing it 8-10 times and see what happens when you really reach.
