RE: A Last Stand - 100 Word Story
Yes! Thanks. Its always interesting to understand the author’s intent, and of course we don’t have that luxury with mainstream publishing, so I do take advantage of it here on Steemit. I guess I raise an eyebrow around intentional ambiguity, as a writing device. You are on Discord at The Writers’ Block, right? It might be fun to discuss in one of our writers workouts. Tagging Ms. @rhondak.
Intentional ambiguity simply leaves it up to the reader to decide. One of the greatest ambiguous endings in all of storytelling is Inception's :) The goal was simply to leave that bit up to the reader's interpretation of it.
RE: The Writers Workshops, I may have time to stop by tonight with a re-worked introduction to my book to take a look at!
Cheers,

I will have to check out Inception. I think there are definitely good reasons to leave questions unanswered in fiction!
I definitely would like to see @makowrites in the workshops with us! :-)
