twelve and paint

this afternoon, when i looked at the list of things to do, i didn't feel much like painting, but then started anyway, and it worked out better than i expected. sometimes it's good to start something, just intending to do a little bit, and then work more if it feels right, i thought. and while painting, i also tried to sort my thoughts for the June story and synopsis, and then again, didn't feel much like typing it out, but started anyway.. and it worked better than i expected. i want to work some more on it, then post it tomorrow.

also i thought about the idea of intercut storylines again, and remembered a book i bought onvce: “Twelve” by Nick McDonell's. it's a book in 98 short chapters, each one more like 1 or 2 scenes. it was his debut book. not sure if he wrote something afterwards. the interesting aspect is that it also switches between characters in the chapters.

here a amazon reader review to it:

"I ended up reading this book very quickly because I just couldn't put it down. The whole thing is so real that it almost hurts. I love the way McDonell switches between characters as it gives the novel a fast pace that stops the reader ever getting bored and moves things along swiftly, enhancing the sense of the city of New York, the city that never sleeps.”
