Form

Hello my friends,
When i was a little lad i was obbsessed with a little book called "A Fly Went By." I would insist upon being read this story every night before i went to bed. If my mom skipped even one line i would pipe in with a "MOM, thats not how it goes." It realize now it is not the story i loved so much. It was the message i expected to hear. That is why i have favorite songs, stories, and movies. Because, they have a set theme i like to hear. However, it is not a constant effect my mood decides what i am craving.
For example, last saturday i watched "Cloverfield." To give a gross understatemnet it did not have the stereotypical happy ending. Yet, i still enjoyed watching it. The form was not the comfortable standard for me, but because of my mood i was down for a good mold breaker.
I realized that as a writer i need to be more aware of form. It does no good to turn the reader off because you were too radical too fast. Touchy subjects should be discussed very deliberatly. Not shying from your opinion, but knowing how to present it. Every crop has a growing season. If it is planted at the right time, and nourished with the right techniques it will deliver a fruitful harvest. If an arguement is brought forth at the peak of kronos, and it's form is properly presented readers will hear the message.
