[stylist] DBG 7 (completely new chapter)

[Judith Bron]

Keep in mind that most readers of your book will not read time lines before 
starting their read.  The plot has to be clear without explanation to the 
average reader.  People read novels to be entertained.  Consequently they 
are not going to put in the time necessary to figure out what the 
entertainment is all about.  Judith
