But I didn't invent it so I'm sure my examples aren't always in the ballpark of it.<br /><br />jodi, I kind of enjoyed it. It had elements of what I think of as poetical meaning to it. Where poems hint at much but don't necessarily say everything.<br /><br />JR, It was kind of fun to try and find examples but check out the guy's website. Judging by comments I obviously haven't done a very good job of explaining it.<br /><br />Godinla, I've never met Leigh personally but we are what you call blog buddies I guess. I'm waiting on a copy of her book now. Thanks for dropping by. I'll check out your blog as well.<br /><br />Don, the idea seems to fit what I think a sotry opening should do anyway, although not neccessarily in 25 words or less. But fun to play around with.<br /><br />Bernardl, well, check his site out if you get a chance. He's insistent that hint fiction 'isn't' a story.

Plus, I personaly prefer descriptive writing over self-referential writing that constantly threatens to disappear up its own ass.<br /><br />Patty, too much thought on something like this probably won't help. It's not easy to plot a 25 word hint fiction.<br /><br />Steve Malley, lol. I think the idea is, though, that it shouldn't be a complete story.
