The DEEP FEELING Saga, part three

I’ve spent some of this week, when I haven’t been working on the work I have to do for money, rereading my unpublished novel, DEEP FEELING, once more.

I wrote it over the course of several years, some years ago, and have returned to it intermittently ever since.

I printed it out, a couple weeks ago. I read that copy.

Mark my words. Someday, the world will have to answer for how long this book has gone unpublished.

They won’t really, but this book is good. That’s all I’m saying. It’s funny and it’s weird, and maybe it’s my fault no one has read it. Maybe my problem is that when I tried to get it into the world before I didn’t present it right. I don’t know.

I should not have given up on the thing. That much is certain, my friends.

This time around, reading it again, I found one chapter I could do more with. One conversation I could alter and expand on, an X painted on the ground in red where some digging is in order, where turning the earth of this text over will yield something good.

But that’s it.

I’ll reread that chapter this morning, to make sure it looks right. Once I’m done, this novel will be ready to go.

I don’t know where it will go.

That’s the big question. I guess I’ll have to get to it in part four.
