Abstract
The four chapters and one section of summary in this thesis are excerpts from a novel-in-process that I've been writing for the last six months. "I've No Experience with Fiction Writing" is an introduction to the book for the reader. In it, I provide the reader with the four plot twists that (s)he will confront in the chapters that follow, most notably the killing of a patient named Gabrielle Kemp by the narrator/ protagonist, Dr. Trevor Tripp. Chapters four and five detail Trevor's first encounter with his wife, Joy. Chapter nineteen shows the results of Trevor's descent into mental instability. The summary is an attempt to fill in the gaps.
