Hi, friends. I hope you are well as January comes to a close. On my walk this week, I saw three daffodils in bloom. A sign that spring will be here soon. I’ve been thinking about narrative distance this week as I try and wrestle chapters of my novel into submission. The one I think works best in this section happens to be a summary chapter, the emphasis on telling rather than showing. It is a lot more distant than the chapters that surround it. Can I find a way to make it work? I sure hope so.
