How great to read about your experiences with acting and how they have helped nourish your writing. I wonder if you see a connection in terms of the relationship with the audience—would you say that acting for an audience has in some way given you a special relationship with readers?
That photo! Too much! And thanks for a wonderful essay here today, Meg. Though I write a lot of flash fictions, I still find them very mysterious, both to write and to read. Your words here are very helpful.
What a fine and informative, instructive essay, Meg. Where you demonstrate the importance of "making use of the unsaid", you landed me in all that goes "unthought of" in my own creative writing efforts! Best wishes for your ever-flourishing career!

Thank you!
