    As Fran was talking about her unfinished novel, which has been forever in the making, I am thinking about the movie "Wonder Boys." The Michael Douglas character, Professor Grady Tripp, has been working on his novel for years and there are no signs of it ever coming to a conclusion. In the movie the book is an unwieldy 2,611-page manuscript.
