I can't finish The Prince of Tides for NaNoReMo for two reasons:
1) procrastinated on it
2) the dialogue makes me want to whip out my red pen and edit it (I mean, damn!)
One common criticism I get on my writing is my take on dialogue. Totally fine, I've been working on it. Conroy makes me look like a stellar literary conversationalist.
So, I have a new goal: finish the eleven books I've been reading right now (including Just Kids) before the end of the year. The Prince of Tides can just go sit in the corner and think about what it's done to dialogue in fiction.
And stay there until I deem it time.
