Now the site is back on its legs, I give you this.
My last hurrah over at Ecstatic Days

Well, not really, but this is an awesome post for writers http://www.jeffvandermeer.com/2010/01/06/finch-novel-opening-chapters-discarded-approaches/. In which Jeff discusses his opening chapters of Finch, the bits he left in, the bits he left out and why, and some interesting comments on authorial intention.
Crafty goodness.
