May from Mia - condensed writing

 


Apologies to Mia for not cropping this photo. It's a lovely *envelope* although it is a piece of paper, folded into something that made it through the mail without being sealed or glued shut or stickered or taped.




I like the wonkiness of the folding.
And maybe the photos would have made more sense in the opposite order - 
to see it open and then folded up.
Either way - it's fun - and I'm impressed that it made it without any adhesive.

Oh, dear. I took a break from writing posts and I thought I had written the post about my own incident with an overly disgruntled customer and how the main post office has a very large intimidating man who was summoned from the back. I don't want to repeat the story because I'm pretty sure I've messed up the order of the posts - but - that's basically the whole story. If I am going to improve my writing, maybe I should just go with minimalist writing. That would be condensing every story down to one line.  

<pause - while I search - because I'm sure someone has already done this> Yup, lots of people have done. this. I just clicked on one and I did not read any of the entries because the weeds are getting ahead of me. But, if you are looking to kill time - here's a link. There was another one where they condensed novels down to a few sentences.
