It was fun writing the everyday stories we tell over beers. The comments from readers and judges suggest they are no less (and perhaps no more!) fun to read than to hear.

To the extent such stories reveal our personalities, it makes me think abbreviated episodes can be used effectively in fiction to 'show' rather than 'tell' characterizations.

So, my lesson for this week is to consider the out-of-left-field anecdote a tool for revealing characters to readers in a genuine, subtle, and even humorous way - the way we really learn about each other.
