There are other examples.

So when he arrives at the resort, he realizes he must be the youngest there by a long stretch.

How does that make him feel?

You know, is he used to being in environments where he's the youngest?

Did he used to enjoy it, but now he doesn't anymore?

I want to know how he feels deeply about things because in lit fic, I think we, we need that.

There are some amazing observations when the professor is picking out books and, you know, he pretends that he's going to read like serious nonfiction, but then our protagonist knows that he's actually going to read Lord of the Rings.

He says the professor always chooses fantasy over reality.

And that's, that's really interesting because,

There are great details, like absolutely great details.

At the same time, I wanted even more depth just because I wanted to really, really feel like this book was going to deliver on psychological acuity, which I think is quite essential for literary fiction.

It is a matter of taste, though.

One question I had, something that tripped me up a little bit, is he is in the water.

He sees the professor talking to a man which he thinks is Johnny.

And as he approaches the man and gets closer to the man, he realizes it's not Johnny.

That part's great.

We often, when we're looking for someone, we often see people where they're not there.

It's very realistic.

However, when he looks at the man, the man who now he knows is not Johnny, he thinks to himself, this stranger inspires the same mystifying urge surging inside like a rising tide to know him or fuck him or be him.

That to me tripped me up because I don't want the stranger to cause the same emotions as Johnny caused on him.
