Alan moore released a writing course for BBC and has one lecture there on rhythm. He talks in it about things called iambs, and trochees, and a little about poetry - but that seems weird because he’s not known as a poet - he’s known for comic books and novels. In novels and speech bubbles, does he really have a use for rhythm?
Whoa. That performance was, as you mentioned, quite striking. I have a kiddo who happens to be a very early riser haha, so I do this less now, but I still read my prose aloud in an attempt to spot areas that need rhythmic strengthening. More so in later drafts. For me, the first few drafts aren't where that happens; I'm still just sort of finding my way through the dark with those.
Thanks for sharing. Loved reading what you wrote in response to the lesson also.
