writing novel memoir fiction
Another stab at writing a novel in sonata form.
- Introduction
- Theme A in the tonic: on music
- Theme B in the dominant: on movement
- Development
- Transition to development: changing one’s life: deciding to switch to music vs deciding to leave bconnected
- Theme A vs theme B building tension and modulating - add in magical realism bit by bit
- Recapitulation
- Theme A in the tonic: music dissolving into chaos with senior recital
- Theme B in the tonic: movement dissolving into chaos only literally this time
- Coda
- Remembering the faintness of heart that went with the decision not to walk and how similar that was with accepting losing one’s body
I think the thing that helped me get through Qoheleth alright was starting to write (or at least outline) the two separately, and then work on interleaving them about oh I dunno maybe halfway through, so.
