Writing is fun, dreaming to Jazz is fun too! Be a writer out in the world; this revelation brought to you by John Toomey and Chloe Youtsey at Cafe Stella preforming awesome live Jazz at Cafe Stella.

My revelation for the character came down to this: What does it mean to be so close to the truth, yet still not within grasping distance?

That’s his core driving lack, ie fulfillment in the Lacanian sense, and it’s also been - apparently this whole time - the third major narrative interest.

Like on a narrative level this is the third rail in a three rail novella I’ve been working on for over a decade, and it clicks major parts of the narrative into place so that’s nice.

But on a character level that extra level of depth and empathy with your character is what makes stories shine.
