1) Play with using deliberately foggy signifiers at key moments as an exercise in foregrounding these moments.
2) Play with writing a piece where one or more of the important bits are left off the page. (Some of these bits might include things people don’t say in dialogue.)
( Thinner South, and the game called Shar's War. )

Write something in a voice totally alien to you. Play. Before you write, list four characteristics of the voice you want to capture: Velocity of language. Verbosity (including the types of words used). Viewpoint – are we up close, or very removed, what person? Vision – what kinds of things does the narrative voice OBSERVE? Write for a while and then foreground a moment or object by playing a variation in voice against the rest of the text.
( This is terrible and nonsensical. I mean that. )

Another try at the music meme, in lieu of aught else to write. Ten songs, picked at random, for the duration of which I wrote about a character. In this case, Hiru. Surprise, surprise.
( Hiru, of Any Court. )
In other news, this song should not be as addictive as it is. D:
