Other work accomplished: Cleaned my desk. Balanced the checkbook. Thought a great deal about "LGiA"; found a name for the protagonist of the new necklace-based story.

non-linear narratives, pt. 2

Infinite thank yous to everyone who responded to the first non-linear narrative post. (It is occurring to me that a blog/online journal is also a non-linear narrative, insofar as it is a narrative, for the reader--although not for the writer.) I am discovering that this is one of those things I have a great deal of difficulty conceptualizing coherently, although I use the technique with fair frequency. So I don't think I asked the question I meant, although y'all have given wonderful answers to the question I asked.

So let me ask another question, and I promise I am completely serious about this. I'm asking because I genuinely don't have a good answer myself. For those of you who have read it, why did I write "Three Letters from the Queen of Elfland" with the structure it has?

100 Gentle Readers

My "Friend of" list has just cracked triple digits.

I am completely gobsmacked. Also delighted. It seems so implausible somehow.

À votre santé, tout le monde.
