It’s nebulous, but grounds itself in metaphor, and somehow always obsessed with perception

when I went to Iowa I described the writer's in the Iowa writers workshop as "writing a story about sitting at a chair and having a drink but it lasts for 100 pages somehow"

I did the Iowa online program, and “concrete sensory words” were drilled into us - it was all sentence level stuff, too, nothing about plot, character development, tension, anything!
