Listed all the subplots within the 1950 manuscript.
Interesting — they are all about the collapse and loss of family. Inspired me for a couple more concrete details to add to the book in general.
However, it does not expose gaps as well as I had hoped.
I really could use some working titles here!
Still trying to understand the structure process. Getting lost in midsection (story-world). Next step: peel out individual subplots and character arcs to help see where they have holes.
Eventually, I really hope to get a story structure process together. It feels so mysterious.
Need more work and thought around either fantasy or sf story lines. Both are currently too thin and the character voices are not strong enough to talk me through.
From WWII, via boing boing:

Still want to learn how to be a stylite though.
That was way too easy to accidentally unpublish. Republishing!
