If I wrote a book...

from the morning prompt at NWP-VT summer institute '08

...it would have a different narrator in each chapter. There'd be few sensory details, but they'd be a powerful few. It'd probably have lots of symbolism and allusions that don't reveal themselves quickly. That's not to say that they'd be all that important. Ideas would be most important in my book. Maybe if I write it ten or twenty years from now people, characters, will be more important than ideas. My book would probably bore most people. Maybe it'd bore me, although I'd probably be really into writing it. I would have so much excitement and such big ideas. Then I'd get frustrated with my inability to capture all of it.
