Story strategy

The developing story strategy in my new novella, with the working title The Return of the Puddle City Radicals, is a narrative built on vignettes, chapters 1-3 pages long. Here the model is one of my very favorite novels, Evan Connell's Mrs. Bridge. Short pithy vignettes that can stand on their own, building a slowly evolving narrative. This also means most can be written in one sitting. And I've started, so far, so good.
