It's not purposeful, it's just what happens. I like it, though.
Can it be said that "water" is the central character of this flash? Or is that just crazy talk?
I don't know if it's a character, but it's a common medium that ties these stories together, just like in real life water is a medium common to all forms of life.
The counter-pointed stories of this flash demand that the reader engage with the stories and find the connecting threads. So how can you be sure the reader gets it? Or am I way off base for even asking?
I don't mind if the reader gets anything or not, I didn't consciously set out to make that happen. I'm just happy if they like what they read. That, I can never be sure of.
Love the "phase changes" structure. How'd that idea get formed?
I had the idea to try to write a story in list format, and I settled on developing something around the three phases of water. I wasn't sure of it at first, but I think it worked out quite nicely.
The word is you never ever write in bed. Need to hear much more about that.
Actually, I do write in bed, sometimes on paper, but I never, ever write at the kitchen table. That's just rude.
Read Phase Changes.
