Work Today; Chiles in the News

Work on polishing the overall manuscript structure, from bow to stern, today.

Chiles family in the news:

Here and here.

This Week

Good productive week. Next week I'll finish the backlog of interview transcription. Then, on to Florida for a week of new interviews!

Epilogue

Finished a draft of the Epilogue last night. Hopefully finish two more transcriptions today and some things settled logistically.

Today

Two transcriptions done today. Started another.

Worst to First

Another plug for the Chiles family's latest campaign for Florida's children.

Impressionism

A lot of critics of The Great Gatsby praise its "impressionistic" style. I assume they refer to the practice of describing characters physically and psychologically in a sort of snapshot, piecemeal manner. A few character traits stand for the whole. Fleeting glimpses attract.

Is shortening chapters in a book just good, economical writing or is it inherently "impressionism," too?

Transcription Continues

Transcription proceeding slowly. Proceeding.
