Video of a Novel: Day 63
When the story goes off in its own direction...
George Saunders talks about the importance of following a story, allowing life into it, and not letting your planning self take over.

In today’s video below, I'm also talking about how I'm handling the revelation that there is more to this story than I first imagined. Which means a lot more work.
But also more fun.
