chapter 4 done
Today, I finally put the end to the chapter 4 of Flowers. All the main players are in the key location (except for the dark horse, Daniel, who’s about to make his move very, very soon). And it’s fun. I don’t know at what point had I decided that everything I write has to be profound and deeply connected with myself, but that was surely around the time of my last writer’s block. I mean depth and stuff is nice if you can get it but if you can’t, just doing a decent job is good. And if you can’t do a decent job, fooling around and having fun is good as well. After all, the best thing about a good book is that it feels effortless–as if it wasn’t hard to write at all–and the easiest way to get that feeling of effortlessness is to approach the material lightly as a feather, not dumping all the heavy stuff in it.
The depths of your experience isn’t something that you have to express. If you can throw it out, throw it out. If you cannot, carry it with you. That’s it.
