Good. Thanks guys. From your comments it looks like I'm understanding square and scribe enough to be able to explain it on the page. I had my reservations...
Ken,
I wish I had more space for these stories. When I submitted the story, a photo of a wall section w/ a brief caption that showed what I mean by "plate-less" was included. It seems my editor didn't have space for extra pictures or found it visually uninteresting... (they love shots of people!)
I have little control after I submit my pieces. At least the editor kept my chosen title this time around! And at a little over 1300 words, he was gracious not to force me to trim it back-- most of my pieces are 800 or so words.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
Please send me along a sample or two of John Baker to my email. I'd love to see what he did/ his style, etc.
My recent story was prefaced a bit by the weekly series I did over the winter. Many in town had followed it, and were aware to some extent about the whole "plate" thing.
