I figured, “Well,…

Late Afternoon/Early Evening, Tuesday, October 17, 2023, Lithia, Florida Hi, all. It’s late afternoon – early evening, really, on a somewhat cook – by Florida standards, anyway – October day.

On Writing & Storytelling: Settling on a Distinctive Style for Chapter 12 is No Easy Task
Midafternoon, Wednesday, October 11, 2023, Lithia, Florida Hi, there. (Again.) I’m 95 minutes into my scheduled “novel-writing” time, and I’m wondering what narrative style to use for Chapter 12. Presently, I have two options, both of which would work – if I do my job right – but have different styles and challenges. Option No.…
