Workshop critique: "Deus ex machina! Lazy writing!"
Fine. Revised. Made god's appearance earned.
God appeared in chapter 19. Looked around. Pulled out paperwork.
"I've unionized," he said. "Speaking fee is 3000. Miracle fee is 8000. Saving protagonist from poor planning is 15000 plus residuals."
Protagonist died.
Workshop approved.
My Chekhov's gun in Act 1 is suing for wrongful discharge.
Claims it was fired in Act 2, should have been Act 3. Union rules. Violation of dramatic principles.
The knife from chapter 7 is testifying. As a character witness.
Hearing scheduled for the epilogue.
My unreliable narrator just lied to ME.
Page 247. He said he was at the harbor.
I wrote him at the library.
Checked manuscript. Library.
Checked again. Harbor.
He's changing things when I'm not looking.
