And I don't really have much interest in it, and I also don't think I could do it.
It's harder than it looks.
Just because it's commercial does not mean it's simple.
I have great respect for...
what those authors do.
They really have to plan things out and plot things out meticulously, and there's no leeway given for boring a reader or losing momentum.
So, yeah, maybe the Megan Abbott thing, but even that is maybe further over, I think, toward the thriller side.
I think my audience remains kind of, you know, the literati who likes things that move still, who like books that have pace, or the literary readers who are in tune
characterization and prose, certainly, but also want a story that grips them.
I usually have a bit of an idea of what I'm writing about to begin with, a broad idea.
I start writing a few pages just to see, does this have legs?
Do I want to keep writing this?
Do I have a sense of what the voice is, who the character is?
Once I've determined I do, I start filling out the plot much more so in advance.
It's not so meticulously done that every single scene is written out.
It's broad swaths of it are there, the checkpoints.
As I keep writing, I keep filling it out in more and more detail so that those checkpoints get closer and closer to each other.
So that if I had point A to point B at some point, I might have point A to point A1, point A2, point A3, and then point B.
as I keep going.
Because a lot of what you write, you discover a lot of your story as you write it.
