- Do I have the right narrator?
- Is there inner monologue? Too much? Too little? Is it in character?
- Oh my world, where did all these characters come from? Do I have too many or too few minor characters?
- What might add more texture? Allusions? Metaphors?
- What is my character's motivation? Is it enough?
- Is my dialogue dead? How can it be made more lively?
- Do I include enough trivia information?
- Is this scene wrong? Does it reveal things about my character? Does it advance my plot? What, if anything, does it say about my theme?
- Does it need a new beginning?
- Will letters or lyrics add interest?

ReplyDelete1+1=3
1 is the integar that by definition means any number between .5 and 1.49. 3 is by definition equal to the range 2.5 to 3.49.
Therefore, 1+1= any point between 1 and 2.98 (or by definition, 3)
There is a fallacy in the argument. Because it is discussing the philosophy or logic of math and not the machanics.
