I found this an interesting thread. I am fairly well read and reasonably intelligent but have not had a great education, stream of conciousness is not a form of writing I really know anything about.
Someone mentioned Marquez who is one of my favourite authors. Does he do this? I never noticed.
My book has alot of writing as if I am narrating what I am doing and thinking directly at the reader. Does that make it a SOC memoir? I use it as tool to explain different subjects, to allow the reader to see my character and how I percieve things. I also use language how I would speak it rather than how I would think it. (My thoughts are far too abstract for anyone but me to follow)
It sounds like I am going to have a hard enough time selling my book, I hope this is not another hurdle to overcome.
