There are short stories, and then there are Corwin Fox short stories - and those don91裸聊视频檛 get much shorter.

The B.C. musician and music producer has added 91裸聊视频榩ublished author91裸聊视频� to his portfolio, with Kill Love - a book of one-sentence stories.

Fox said the idea for a book of one-sentence stories came by happenstance.

91裸聊视频淚 started writing one-sentence stories by accident - I was just trying to crack up my bandmate, Laurel,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚 was replying to an email and I just wrote this funny once-sentence response that turned into a story - which is in the book, incidentally91裸聊视频� I cracked myself up; it was just funny. But then that night I started thinking91裸聊视频� I wondered what else I could do?

91裸聊视频淪o I just started writing more to see what I could do. Could I write sad ones, funny ones, dark ones? What can I do with a one-sentence story. I was writing them every night until I had dozens of them. Then I realized there was a theme tying a whole bunch of these together, so I just cleaned it up, grouped them, and made Kill Love.91裸聊视频�

The Vancouver Island-based artist91裸聊视频檚 one-sentence stories are akin to extremely free verse poetry. There is no consistent pattern or word count from one story to the next. Some stories are 20 lines long; others are five words long.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 almost a literary form - or it could be a literary form,91裸聊视频� said Fox.

Corwinisms, if you will.

Fox said some of the stories are autobiographical, while others are pure fiction. There are even stories of invented words, such as 91裸聊视频榓mpersymphonialocity91裸聊视频� - the rate of speed at which two or more musical ideas merge. 91裸聊视频楩ox said the book is 91裸聊视频榥ot really for kids - there is some dark and weird stuff in it, along with some cuss words and stuff. I wanted it to be really unfettered and experimental, but also to make it very personal.91裸聊视频�

As much as anything, Fox figures once he starts doing music gigs again, Kill Love will be a nice addition to his merch table.

91裸聊视频淭he state of the music industry has changed so much,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淣owadays people buy computers that don91裸聊视频檛 even come with a CD drive, so some people still buy CDs, but not a lot of people; some people by vinyl, but not a lot of people; some people are even buying cassettes again, but most people consume their music these days through streaming.

91裸聊视频淪o I started thinking, what am I going to sell, once I go back on tour, because I will do gigs again, and it will be great, because you need your merch money. No one has CD players anymore91裸聊视频� I already supplement my merch tables with hats or shirts, but I91裸聊视频檓 not super into clothing, so91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淭hat makes it sound like the impetus of writing this book was an economic one, but it wasn91裸聊视频檛. That91裸聊视频檚 just a secondary thing. I was already creating this stuff and I just felt compelled to make the book - the same as writing a song.91裸聊视频�

Kill Love is available at Moon91裸聊视频檚 Records in his hometown of Cumberland, or order online at Fox91裸聊视频檚 website,
