Bird of Prey: Structure

"Bird of Prey" is shaping up nicely, and is about ready to go into the drafting stages. The story is written in a two fold format, the first part seeming pretty standard and familiar (married couple arguing while driving), the second part- an exercise at existentialism, surrealism, and the absurd. Both are strictly dialogs in the current version. I wanted to experiment with writing in a way that effectively removes the fluff as often times that is how my works start off- with dialogs that I later glue together with circumstantials. There is a lot of weight given to a writer's attention to detail, the ability to summon a vivid image that can engage a person's imagination to recreate it. And I do think that is incredibly important, and strive to be good at it. But I also think that often times dialog is downplayed in favor of what happens internally, thoughts, emotions, glances, movements; streams of consciousness that modern writers seem all to fond on. And yet, in the dry exchange of words, something. And I guess "Bird of Prey" is my meditation on that something. It's a risk, of course, and that's precisely the appeal of it. :-)
