The best thing about the name Seumas: There have been some minor negatives, of crosue. The experience has made me more critical of some types of writing, less tolerant of wordiness in certain writers, for example. And it has made me deeply jealous of certain writers, too. I'm reading Mickey Spillane right now and finding myself in awe of how quickly he can move a story along. Also, sometimes I look at the hard copy I have printed out (as a back-up) and dread the revision process to come. When I started my dissertation, a biographical treatment of the late Senator Paul Tsongas, my first draft of the first chapter was 145 pages long. Editing this down to a manageable size was torture, and took forever.But overall, I think I am learning so much every day that it has been well worth it. I write for a living, and have for five or six years now, various types of nonfiction. And I have never before learned as much about the craft as I have in the last two weeks. I keep feeling like I am on the verge of learning something even more pivotal about how to write novels, how to construct plot and to construct better characters. Those skills still elude me, but I keep hoping for a breakthrough.And I have already written some notes on the novel I intend to write this coming spring. It's a good thing I have, too, because I am beginning to get addicted to this type of writing.
