Ambiguity

Whew! I did it! I actually finished both my runs on time. The Ghost didn't say, "Good job," or "Way to go," but I don't care. I'm just glad that I finally did it and now that I know I can, I think I'll be able accomplish both runs on time, everyday! This is big news in the world of Curt Jimenez. This means more money. This means vision quest.

Maybe I'll take on a third run. Ha! Yeaaaah right. Could you imagine? I sure couldn't!

When I got home from work, I kicked off my boots, gave Warden a big pat on the head, and plunkered down and read some more short stories. How do they do it? How do these authors know how much to reveal and how much to keep hidden. There's always some bit of ambiguity, but boy does that bit draw me in!

I'll give you a for instance--what if, instead of beginning this blog entry with: "Whew! I did it! I actually finished both my runs on time," I began with: "I accomplished something great today."

And what if I never explained what that "something great" was? Would you be frustrated? Intrigued? Moved?

I think I'd be kind of, a little bit...I don't know, interested, but ultimately let down.

Shoot! I just spilled some Cccofzee oN thhte Kkybrd. Hve, eto goo1!
