I'm guilty of the very grave sin of telling not showing. My story becomes an essay whenever I need the reader to understand certain viewpoints. Then I remembered the oyster divers in the Tangerines show and realized, "Oh sh*t they're a Greek Chorus and that's exactly what they're for." #writing

I thought I was halfway but I'm actually a third of the way editing my manuscript after I decided to go back to a three-act structure. The subplot about the MC's family history has been confined to Act 2, and Act 3 returns to the relative present. This is what I get for pantsing #writing

Got a really nice rejection (I hope) from F0LI0 Literary saying I should keep them in mind in case I have another manuscript 🥲

I'm reading my first Cormac McCarthy novel, 'The Passenger'. Like most award-winning authors, I'd come to expect him to be somewhat impenetrable. So I was a bit upset after reading the first 25 pages and thinking, "Why didn't anyone tell me this was going to be so much fun?"

One of my mistakes as a newbie novelist was expecting someone who was writing in another genre to understand my intentions and impose the expectations of their genre on my book.
