How you uh, how you comin on that novel youre working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice little story youre working on there? Your big novel youve been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protagonist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for her to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Draw from real life experience? Little, little heartbreak? You know? Work it into the story? Make the characters a little more three dimensional? Little, uh, richer experience for the reader? Make those second hundred pages really keep the reader guessing whats going to happen? Some twists and turns? A little epilogue? Everybody learns that the heros journey isnt always a happy one? Oh, I look forward to reading it.
