utown writing

I don't want to make any changes to the (unnamed) third novel, not for a long time. A Sane Woman took fifteen years from the first chapter to the last. But I am going to add things to the novel, both new scenes which need to be included, and whole sections (more mystery stories, for example).

Rather than stick them into the draft (which would be confusing for people who have already read it, since I'd always have to be saying, "Hey, I added a new part over here! And another little bit over here!"), I will put them here in this blog.

This also solves the problem of scenes like this one, since I know approximately where it will go, but I won't know for sure until I do the real rewrites.

To be clear (I hope), deleted scenes will still be over here (at the main blog). Those are scenes which were originally supposed to be in one of the novels, but got cut for one reason or another.

What will be here will be stories and scenes which will, as far as I know, be in the finished novel. Eventually, it's even possible that the whole novel will be in here, in this blog, if I can solve a few technical questions.
