Literary writing has always been some sort of mystical art to me. I never figured out how authors and writers could write sentences that can evoke an image in your mind.

And that is why I find this article on growing sentences so fascinating. It’s like taking a scientific approach to writing, starting from a base idea/sentence such as Mario had help with his movie. He did a lot of the work himself. and evolving it to

It’s obvious someone else had a hand in the screenplay, but Mario did the choreography and most of the puppet-work personally — his little S-shaped arms and falcate digits are perfect for the forward curve from body to snout of a standard big-headed political puppet — and it was, without question, Mario’s little square Hush Puppies on the H^4’s operant foot-treadle, the Bolex itself mounted on one of the tunnel’s locked lab’s Husky-VI TL tripods across the over lit closet, mops and dull-gray janitorial buckets carefully moved out past the frame’s borders on either side of the little velvet stage.

Pretty crazy eh? I think my blog could be a novel if I wrote like that.
