    Lys, i really enjoyed reading this.. the flow is incredible and the way each word has a double meaning both before and after the next word is brilliant ..

    one quick thing i noticed ..

    lights pours .. make one of those words singular .. it’ll be perfect then xx

    I really love this new style, what motivated you to do one word lines? It really adds so much personal gravitas.

  • Lys • replied

    honestly, i’m not really sure. it’s more of a challenge for me to write with the one word per line and to remember to start a new line instead of a space. also, i’m trying to eliminate periods, i want the whole piece to flow and i want the reader to interpret the breaks wherever they want. i’m hoping it’s a little more interactive than just glancing over a block of text.

    thanks so much :)
