Status Update # 1

Right now I am caught up in the spirit of momentum. I have written 20 chapters in the last 6 days. Some of them are incomplete, some of them, I am sure, are nonsense.

This matters not. Flow is key. I will go back to fix and correct afterward.

Between chapters, I am reading Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller and Travels by Michael Crichton. I don’t believe there are any two authors who are more contrary in their writing styles.

Miller is all about emotion, and feeling, and the wild rush of being tapped in. He is magic.

Crichton writes like a copywriter. He is methodical and calculating and factual.

My style is somewhere in between. In my prose, there is, and always has been, a mismatched mix of mania and precision.
