I heard the train whistle blow.
At Hollins, apparently it means that it's 1250, in the middle of the night.
At GMU it used to me that it was nigh onto 2, and that it was time to go to bed.
I've read three books tonight and am no closer to an answer. Clearly, I will be sentence diagramming on a much different scale.
I do like this Early Novel business though. Taylor's The Gold Cadillac is a distinct tale that follows a family's family there and back again, and specifcally, a little girl's sudden awareness that not all is well with the world. Pullman's is more complex, interweaving several characters' tales into one, but still he makes the category. Additionally it appeals to me, because I can give Pullman to my older kids at school and they won't be intimidated by its size, and they'll still get a fine story for it. Never mind that I've always loved short stories. This is another kind of manifestation of it.
I don't think I'm going to get anything written tonight. I'm not even sure what my topic is yet. I keep swinging back and forth between something to do with mulitculturalism to help inform TS and something to do with my Albatross, Plot.
Which is another interesting thing. I don't think I had plot issues when I solely wrote short stories.
Make of that what you will.
I'm going to bed.
