Passing Fancy

When I first started writing I was petrified of repeating myself.  I was determined that each story would be complete different than its predecessor.  I'm over that fear now and just write to amuse myself.

In any case, this story was to be experimental.  I had no story idea in mind and just let the story and characters write themselves.  My only idea was that the story was going to loop in on itself, like a literary mobius loop.  Overall, I was pleased with the results.

Just a couple of notes:

This story starts a tend of writing about writers (much like my great influence, John Irving).  

The opening car crash was inspired by Harry Chapin's song, 30,000 Pounds of Bananas.

I did have a middle aged female friend who under went a "cleansing".  She never read the story and I hope she does not find my blog.

Enjoy.  And please drop a comment or two, it's getting lonely in blogville.
