Question: Do you feel the Gunslinger is literary? Because it made the second list, and literary usually means - not genre. But that's a topic we could talk about all day and not get anywhere on.

One of my biggest problems with the beginning is half the time I don't start at the actual beginning of my story. I pick a place to start, and I write until the END. Then I need to work my way back to where the beginning really started. That might be before or even after where I started originally - but after I rework it it makes a lot more sense.
