Minimal Writing

I haven't tried this writing technique but, even if taken as a jest, I admit it sounds intriguing.  Soon maybe I will post the result.  Happy Halloween, everyone!

"I asked Ring Lardner (a blacklisted U.S. journalist and author) the other day how he writes his short stories, and he said he wrote a few widely separated words or phrases on a piece of paper and then went back and filled in the spaces."  --Harold Ross (1892-1951), founding editor of The New Yorker.
