I think my own idea of what a story is has been a bit naive for most of my life. I have largely been under the impression that they have to be about something made up, and was surprised as life went on and I found that so much of what I'd taken to be pure fiction had such large autobiographical elements. I'm still not sure though if a feuilleton is really a story. But after reading Robert Walser, I do now know, more or less, what a feuilleton is. And in fact, quite inadvertently, I recently wrote one .So here's your prompt for the day.
Go for a walk. Or if you hate walking, take a ride on a bus. Ride your unicycle--I don't care.The important thing is to go on a little journey. Then sit down somewhere and write what happened.
Simple, yeah? Then what are you waiting for?
