oh jolly good show old girl, exceptionally well done.
brain, thou marvelous appendage. work for once, will you?
screenshot one. an idea is born in the sweltering heat of summer. madness and anarchy, a novel with a grand design and a far too complicated to be plausible plot.
ugh.
screenshot two. relocation to the united kingdom; an MA and all that. work work work on shorter peices different genres and everything else nice and nasty. that brilliant idea is pushed aside. it simmers and steams. it sticks to the stove.
enter a new module. the ART of the SHORT story. the novel is split up into two loooong stories.
too too damn complex. too many voices, too many stylistic devices. too much to say and not enough of a canvas to say it in.
me da fool.
it will never work as a short story.
brilliant, absofuckinlutely brilliant job, for le caffeine addict. jarred on by sugarless coffee( mind the diet, see)...for once that rusty old brain actually exhaled something.
a novel is born.
no.
a novel is created.
plotted; drafted and redrafted.
classical techniques. iconoclastic and melodramatic techniques.
welcome, one and all to my anagnorisis.
i would recommend you to Butcher's translation of Aristotle's Poetics to get a handle on that word.
maybe that chimney sweep was lucky...although fictional; although a movie; although Dick Van Dyke; although a terribly false cockney accent.
if this is this, then that.
how bloody logical.
