During a writing class I attended, the instructor stressed
that we should write just about anything. She went on to qualify that by saying, “It
needs to be believable. You don’t want to write about the moon being made out
of cheese.”
Because my brain works the way it does, I thought why not? I’m not saying the instructor
was wrong. It was just a spontaneous remark to stress that readers would not be
receptive to the absurd. However, my questioned remained. Why couldn’t I write about the moon being made of cheese?
