Super Short Story Cards: Instant Illustrated Fiction

I think I may have just created a new art form.   Haven't heard of anyone else doing this.  (If you have, please let me know!)

There are various "categories" of short fiction, including what's called a postcard story.  The idea behind a postcard story is that it's an entire story that could be written on a postcard (and it usually runs about 250 words).

Well, I was wandering around my friend Jessica Doyle's website and, as often happens, I found myself with the urge to doodle afterwards.  I really love her whimsical style!

Anyway, I cut a piece of watercolour paper to 3.5" x 2.5" and used my Prismacolor Art Markers to doodle a flower.  Then I noticed all that "white space" I had beside it.  Not wanting to wreck the image (as I generally do when I try to add things in), I decided it would look good with some writing beside it.

The writing you see here is a entire short story, written directly on the card in India Ink, with absolutely no editing or revision whatsoever.  Brain to pen to card.  Finis!

I'm quite in love with this little piece of instant creativity, and the way that it just flowed out of me.  Sometimes trying too hard leads to creative blockages.  I just drew and wrote down what the Muse said!

What do you think, Gentle Reader?
