As I’m re-reading this, editing and posting these chapters I’m remembering the way I wrote this. Often just notes in a notebook when I had a moment, or sitting down at the computer for 10 minutes or so. The whole feel is very disjointed and moment to moment. These three chapters are really short. Two of them just develop character and one of them builds a little character and sets the scene some more.
I’m not sure this novel ever really “takes off.” We’ll find out together.
And, if you’re just starting: “Orson”
The last three paragraphs of this entry are pure poetry. Beautifully written with an underlying tone of sadness and wanting.
Thank you. I do have to be in a certain romantic/melancholy mood to write as Orson.
