I just wanted to take this opportunity, since (for the first time in months) I feel human, to thank the Lady, Seraph, Trout Mania, and, of course, Dallas for your continued support and Cyber friendship. I don't comment as often as I should, but the lot of you have inspired me, repeatedly, with your words.
Eventually, my muse and I will reconnect in an orgy of tequila,baby oil, and neo-existentialism. Right now, she, as the Lady recently suggested, is taunting me. I just may become tired of being passive and will firmly grab her and have my way with her -- metaphorically speaking, of course.
After court today (something about good ol' grandpa and his 7 year old grand child), I will sit on my porch, smoke a nice cigar, and drink some tequila. I'll save a place for my muse and all y'all.
Take care of yourselves and, again, thank you...
Paul

I'm happy to have you in our family Paul.
ReplyDeleteJust stick around and don't worry about writing. It'll come to you. I feel bad for not commenting sufficiently on the Professor's work. But what can you say? Everything falls short.
You have a unique avenue to explore and write about: the dregs of human condition. As morbid or negative as it might appear to you, it's also intensely emotional and gritty. Feel free to draw from your daily experience. It's empathy that makes the best/most memorable writing. When you can draw in your readers with your powerful words, that's success.
I'm currently churning out scraps to save for later, so you're not alone. But collectively, several of us are writing and the momentum is sustained.
Again, as you have done with Trout, attempt to assimilate a style. This will open up new doors for you.
Throw in as much Trout as you like. He's kinda catchy. And there is method to his mumblemadness in opposable thumbwrite.

ReplyDelete18 years. That's what he earned.
I had written a lot, but I deleted it. Ultimately, the family, of a now 10 year old girl, embraced me. Many people embraced me; they cried and thanked me.
I came home at 2100HRS.
I have never had physical contact with the victim. We just looked at each other as she cried. It's hard to explain the whole process, but she never really dealt with me -- the bald headed, pudgy guy.

Today, my wife and I had our 11 anniversary. She's an amazingly supportive woman.
Bernadette is my center.
