Good evening Paul, hello Oxy. Very glad to not have a round to myself. This is KA90HV. So I am contemplating doing experiments with books. So it turns out you can write a scene with various characters in it which has a certain objective. So objectives are things that you want the various characters to make each other do. This is actually a game they play in improv workshops where you pick a paper out of a basket and you get put with a partner and your goal is to make your partner do whatever the paper says without mentioning it. It has to be indirect. We do this in real life with sales actually. Every conversation in a store ought to be a conversation with the objective of sales. So your scenes have objectives too. And it turns out that a scene with a particular objective might go at the beginning of the book or it might work just as well at the end of the book and something, some little bit of wormy curiosity has got my mind wondering if I can figure out for any given scene in any given book where the author actually wrote it for first and whether I think it actually stayed there. Anyway, some of us have too much time on our hands. 733388. Thanks Paul for doing the net. Thanks to all of you for listening. I love you all. This is KA90HV back to net.
