The 8th draft….
is kicking my ass and I’m mean. I don’t have much to say other than skin gets dry in the winter and writing a novel is real difficult. I fall asleep whenever I close my eyes. Case and Point….
woke up with shoes still on. It was a few hours later. I didn’t fold my laundry yet and slept on a pile of clean clothes. What’s the point? ha.
Some notes and what not
Inspiration from other dead writers.Brief notes and most of what I used this site for has been put on the typewriter so ill get to that some other time. Wrote a real good piece on F.D.R and how america couldn’t exist without its literary lore…
I don’t know when my book will be done. Maybe when my beard is down to my toes.
was talking about death of a writer theory and I couldn’t do it. I said, I’m not in the coffee-house. It doesn’t matter.
A Character from my novel is a man named Babushka. He’s an agent who lives with his parents in the rich suburbs. He wears sweat pants with sports jackets. He has an office in downtown Chicago that looks likes it’s the eighties still. Metal fans and dusty sunlight. Here’s a conversation the hero Henry Oldfield had with him….
My pal asked me about my top three, and if I took anything specific from Camus, Miller, and Kerouac? I said…
I could probably write a huge paper on this so…
Camus, humanistic philosophy in the face of the absurd, story telling from the individual approach, going macro but always collapsing inward, anti death penalty and con man religion, but always holds nostalgia for the water and hometown when detached from savagery. Henry Miller, vagabond writer/artist, do what you want and learn how to trust yourself, so then, you can just do and not worry about the consequences, combining the novel with philosophy bursts of art. Writing is art. Kerouac, spontaneous style to capture poetics, discipline, accept loss forever, the beat, create underlining musical score when people read it….
Oh and all my books are 40 percent off until they’re not.
