The trick of it, apparently, has a lot to do with figuring out where to jump into the story, and what to include in the details of the story. Conventional wisdom (which may be a hideous oxymoron) is that when writing a novel you have to stick [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=namesake.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1654126&amp;post=1306&amp;subd=namesake&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
