This morning, when I was contemplating getting up, I had a new idea for my novel. Jessica and I were discussing flashbacks, and she mentioned to me that the first half of my novel read like an extended flashback, since it is the only part of the book that would put it into the suspense genre. So I got the idea to interleave Part I with Part II. I have to write much of Part II first, but the idea's worth a shot, and it would solve some of the balance problems with the story. How exciting.
