Oh boy. I went to my high school alumni weekend this weekend and while it was fun, I ran up against something that made me uneasy — the people I went to high school were clearly NOT the audience for my novel.
But, I think, that’s good.
I really, really need to manage my expectations going forward. I can’t just assume that everything will go in a straight line. There will be moments when I will get negative feedback or be discouraged.
I get that some people might think the premise of the novel is “dark,” but my hope is that it’s going to be written in such a comedic manner that in the end of everything it will be a “dramedy.”
That’s the hope, at least.
Anyway, I am zooming through the latter scenes of the novel at the moment. I should be in the third act pretty soon. Maybe in a few weeks.
