A wrap-around narrative is now occupying my writing time, inside which nestles the other stories. Lewis narrates from start to finish. It's a twist similar to the writing of Martin Martin's On The Other Side (where Jensen Interceptor, who narrates throughout, was a secondary character in an early draft of the novel). This is interesting because this time it has happened relatively late in the construction of the novel, although it is far from the radical re-write that happened with Martin Martin. The fluidity of a novel at this stage is fascinating. Film, of course, remains fluid beyond the shooting stage, beyond editing, right through to first screenings, where the thing can be altered again and quite profoundly.
Deadline? End of the year?
