'and I don’t want to lose my ability to write a beautiful sentence' - I have a distinct impression that will be hard to happen.
You play with the subject matter ( Kitten and (Blue/(Red) ball of string ), embracing it lightly not looking straight at it but because of that you seem to see and transcribe clearly & engagingly.
thank you. I like the kitten analogy. I think if you look too directly at a thing all you replicate is the thing, a kind of landscape painting maybe, but nothing exciting and certainly no space for the reader or any kind of subtext. It’s almost tyrannical maybe for a writer to present the thing as is - although that’s never possible either.
Oooh!...Yes, definitely 'a new sort of thing' and one that I hope sticks around a while.
Thank you, Ali.
I suspect it might. I’m doing some new kinds of writing and this seems to be helping me get to that.
As always, I'm here for it.

Always a pleasure to read your words.

Wow excellent writing! Poetic and descriptive. Your writing. as you call them, “experiments” seem more like polished prose poetry. 👍👍👍👍
Wonderful prose. Better to be half than none.
Here’s me, just to ask you something about structure…
