I have edited and corrected (and edited and corrected) the text for the memoir of my father and his ranch and now need to reweave the two narratives more tightly to make it “more enticing” for the reader. The only way I know how to start this process is visually…like rearranging the chairs in a salon so my guests (readers) can slip effortlessly into welcoming ease. Perversely, this looks like it will involve expending a great deal of effort, and then *pouf* letting it all go. David Foster Wallace died before he finished The Pale King, leaving his editors to figure out what order his voluminous writings should go in. No-one will do that for me, nor will they attribute less than coherent results to my (non-existent) reputation as a genius!
