"The War and Peace of college slacker hanging out novels"
That's how I imagine Notes For a Future Novel being reviewed. 2000 pages of college students hanging out, partying, gossiping, flirting, getting together, breaking up, reading, writing, and, sometimes, even fighting.
Today I started inserting the HSZ scenes into NFFN. I wasted a bunch of time trying to remember how to convince Microsoft Word X (I never did uprade to Office 2004) to do "smart quotes." It's already obvious that the opening scene of HSZ is way too long, and is hard to alternate with Tim and Michael's first scenes. So I may need to cut some of the flashing back from the HSZ parts.
