Colts vs Ravens, or Cowboys vs Redskins. Which to watch? Commentator saying, "Redskins will implement their running game much of the day." Decision made, I'll go with the Colts/Ravens. Tedious running game? Not today. I like the Alley-Oops!
As you well know our hero is a poker player, so atmosphere is populated with gamblers, dialogue's about pot odds, prop bets, overs unders. I need to watch, keep characters up to date, realism, latest lingo. I can't have people discussing T-formations, red dogs, do they still have fullbacks? Today it's nickle defenses, red zones, prevents, and how about half-time action-reverse parlay bets. Remember Bo Jackson, one of the greatest..! Who?
Lame excuse to watch NFL?
As you know I'm working from hard copies of, 'But We had Expenses. ' I picked a chapter, red pencil, and sat outside, in the sun. A pivotal chapter. Emily's first one-on-one with Glass after the house warming. (Sexual tension).
BUT, she is also introduced to all those stacks of cash on the living room floor. (Different kind of tension). "But, I can explain." (Sure!) Maybe I should make this two chapters? A meeting chapter, then a money chapter? This will take some major thought.
What is all this about "New Moon?" Popping up everywhere, tie in with Burger King. Am I on team Jacob, or on team Edward? Something about Werewolves and Vampires? So popular, do I need a Count Van Helsing dealing cards at the casino? Finish this blog post it's Google-New Moon-Summary. My readers deserve as much.
This is tough. A daily Blog with nothing exciting to say. (Sure you've figured that out already).
Maybe that's the charm of Raymond Carver. I've been trying to figure out his celebrity status as a short story writer. But maybe it's his ability to write about normal, seeming uninteresting life, and find a story. Last night after I re-re-re-read Glass meeting Emily, I read his story, 'What's in Alaska?' Man buys new shoes, then he and his wife meet with friends, who've just bought a water pipe. They talk and munch, a bottle of cream soda spills on his shoes, some sexual tension, much laughing, then they go home. Is it like Hemingway, if you not thrilled with the writing, you just don't 'get' good writing? You're the problem?
Any comments on any of this?
Loyal readers, I'll do something interesting today, so tomorrow's blog post will have more substance, real meat to chew on. More interesting to writers. Promise.
Thanks for reading this far, as awe-inspiring as all this is. Until tomorrow.
