Notes From The Guru

Kate says if I keep going on the novel, it will become interesting to me again. I can only hope she's right because, even though I know this is not a good novel, I really want to finish it. There's not enough passion, too much logic, not enough gore or suspense.

I keep wanting to go back to the three chapters I've almost finished and fix stuff. Still working on just putting down words and fixing later. That's so difficult to do, even though it's a simple concept.

Yesterday I put down some words on Parker in the restaurant and hand wrote some notes on where chapter endings will change. It occured to me I was writing it like a tennis match: First Parker, then Kelsey, then Parker... So I changed the order up a little.

I was just talking to Kate about A Short History of a Small Place, then read about it in amazon, and it occurs to me that I don't digress often. I love reading digressions, why don't I write them? My story is like this happened, then this happened, then this happened. Bleh.

Oh! But I did think today DUH, you've got Parker passing a SCUBA shop, because it's a SEASIDE town. Why don't you take him to the shop and let him breath from an AIR TANK? Der. Sometimes I'm so slow.
