Compression: David Sklar
“Sometimes the expansion around you can make you feel small. But still you may feel you must make yourself smaller, just to fit in. Even when there is distance around you, if your neighbors are expansive, their auras might push you deeper into yourself, where you stand alone.” — David Sklar
Compression: Shannon Wendt
“I believe compression in fiction can provide extraordinary glimpses into the human condition, character, and the creative process. It requires discipline on the part of the writer, and discipline is 99% of creation. Also, done correctly, a compressed story will provide a seed that will take root in the reader’s imagination and sprout into something more than the sum of its words.” — Shannon Wendt
