Chapter 10, AdviceTo Writers in Action!

So some of you may be knowledgeable of a certain twitter account, which publishes daily advice to writers. Many times this advice comes in the form of a webpage link to a quote, or some random facts. It has been my habit to glance at these, and where relevant pull from them, to keep my writing a bit current and fresh. Yesterday, the quote I read had particular potency. It's a subject I will not try to broach, or explain, because it's a bit complicated. Rather, I'll post the quote directly.

The Dream That We All Have

The dream, surely, that we all have, is to write this beautiful paragraph that actually is describing something but at the same time in another voice is writing a commentary on its own creation, without having to be a story about a writer.

Wow, thats a big one isn't it. Oh well. I found it particullary was relevent to a device I used in chapter 9, and since this was in essence backing me up I decided to plunge along more with it in chapter 10.

Did I succeed? I had my doubts, but on re-reading, I am still pleased with the direction I took in one particular scene (CH10 As doctors Argue and CH9 The Game). If the scene stays in the book, you'll be able to follow along, and see if you can see the quote represented, or reflected in my writing.

Further explanation, would be an exercise in madness.

Chapter 10 continues tomorrow!
