Dear
workshop,
Several of
you have read some of these stories in slightly different incarnations. In
general I need to know how this works as a whole novel-like thing, and as one
and the same main character.
Also, of
course how they work as discrete stories, but they’ve all been workshopped
before separately. Line notes are welcome if you feel up to it, or you could
just make small notes of what you’re thinking at different times, if you miss
certain information at specific times or start to fade, etc. Or refrain if you
prefer.
Organizing
principles, whether they work and suggestions for better solutions.
Unified
themes, are they there or do they need to be strengthened? The titles are new,
what do you think?
My goal is
that they should work as separate stories and have some variation in style and
mood between them (also want your thoughts on this) but that they should deepen
each other, resonate and layer in a meaningful way, particularly when read in
the right order.
The first
story in particular is a work in progress and contains elements I’m not sure
about, but I really really hope this reads like the main chunks of a very novel-like
unified collection.
Thanks for
reading, can’t wait to hear what you think!
