Poetry time 101: Caurcassus

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Dec. 22, 2024

Not Because it is Easy, but Because it is Hard

Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 12, 2024



In our Quackcast about Non-Linear storytelling this week, I had a tangent of a thought about the value of difficult or challenging fiction as opposed to stories that are easier to understand.
