"Noble patricians, patrons of my right, defend the justice of my cause with arms; and, countrymen, my loving followers, plead my successive title with your swords."
- Shakespeare, Saturninus in "Titus Andronicus"

If Flannery had a blog, she might post a bit of writing advice on occasion.
You would probably do just as well to get that plot business out of your head and start simply with a character or anything that you can make come alive...Wouldn't it be better for you to discover a meaning in what you write rather than to impose one? Nothing you write will lack meaning because the meaning is in you.
This is excellent advice. I should try it sometime.
