  2. Revelation — Hindsight, Chapter 12, Part 2 Bill pushed the snow shovel across the driveway. The work was therapeutic. Simple. Physical. Mindless. The solitude was too much of a luxury. open.substack.com/pub/neilshoo... #Hindsight #serialfiction #seconddraft #onlinenovel #pandemic #dystopian

  3. After several days of rain, even the grass was starting to look green again. Pine cones lay scattered on the ground, where they had fallen. So much had changed. open.substack.com/pub/neilshoo... #Hindsight #serialnovel #seconddraft #dystopian #fiction #pandemic

  6. I’m realizing that at its heart, this POV arc is a #mystery #WhoDunnit. Part of the problem with the post-midpoint scenes is that only one suspect remains, making the story seem like it’s stalled until the protagonist figures it out.

    Among other things, I need to maintain the mystery. Make sure other suspects are guilty of and hiding something, just not the main thing. I can already tell the #SecondDraft is going to be much stronger. I’m learning so much.

  7. We approach politics too often as passive spectators, watching, with our popcorn, a soap opera on which we can’t wait to see what the writers come up with next.

    But this is not a soap opera, and people suffer every day that we accept our place in the audience instead of picking up our pens, recognising our agency, and writing new stories for ourselves.
