About Myself:

Mid-twenties and still trying to be something I'm probably not. But hey, creative expression, no matter how trite, is still worth something to the creator at least, right?

A sad story. I would like to see the expansion and how the child deals with these truths. Of course it would be best to see a happy ending with the child finding deeper meaning in life but it doesn't always happen that way.

wow
I see how that could be misread. It never occurred to me. That's pretty dark my friend.

Thanks for the nice comments and sticking through the first few clunky sentences. I'm not entirely happy with how it starts but I think it picks up from there.

Title article: An Exercise in Postmodernism

The short version
Does anyone really understand PM? ;) This started as a paper for a class I was taking, hence the reference to the 7 to 10 page paper. I was going to attempted the entire project in this form, documenting PostModernism and writing in one of its typical styles.

After waking up from the egotistical fog that tends to cloud some of the weaker attempts at the genre (my own), I decided to scrap the idea and go with the more conventional structure of college papers without all the self-referential acrobatics.

I thought the original would make a decent short-form composition exercise though.

Keeping playing/writing
Perfection is relative, especially in music. That may not make much since by definition, but in structures like music and literature, judged best on emotion rather than pass/fail, it transcends Grammar or Theory.

Broad topic
That is a pretty expansive topic to cover. I'm interested to see how you form the narrative throughout history. I can't imagine there would be much dialogue, an omniscient narrator might be helpful in moving the story along.
