I Did It.

[NOIRTRASH]

My New Years Resolution is write a novel during 2016. One page per day till July or so, then edit.

Its a simple plot. A cop kills two fags mugging a mobsters wife. The mobster grants the cop 3 wishes, and the cop wants the wife and daughter and a raincheck for wish #3. The mobster says OKAY ON MY WIFE BUT IXNAY ON THE DAUGHTER. HOW'S ABOUT MY MOTHER IN LAW AND MY SISTER?

Say first draft in 60 days?

Are you holding to the one page a day limit or if you're really flowing on a day will you keep going?

One page, to keep it moving, and let her rip if I have brain farts.

I wanna play with a new plot scheme (for me). Every character struggles with a personal issue (cock or money?) (cock or cunt?) (power or peace of mind?) (winning or losing?)

How about other devices? Cock and Coke? Or gambling? There's plenty of vices in human nature.

Sure. (Kids or kicks?).

A week later the word count is 3300 and its all different. The mobsters wife is now his hooker sister. That is her life was conventional till she became bored, joined a women's support group, divorced her husband, and became a lesbian till the group leader ran off with the ex husband, and the new lesbian needed income. The brother put her to work. As a call girl she found her lost fondness for cock.

There are wonderful memoirs by married women with kids who were lesbian for many years. Bottom line: lesbians are too needy and nuts for real enduring relationships.

Another interesting aspect of lesbians is: If your career is anchored in the lesbian subculture they will fuck you if you switch sides. Like the mafia, no one ever leaves.

I may have mentioned this before. When he was writing his 'entertainments', Graham Greene set himself a target of 500 words per day. And some days, when he had reached 500 words, he simply stopped writing - even if he was in the middle of a sentence. It worked out OK for him.

I do it different.

For tomorrow Cole comes home and finds Carol sitting in the dark, on his bed, smoking a cigarette. He flips on the light and see's she's bruised and battered, and two of her teeth are missing.

Of course Graham Greene had two jobs while he was writing--diplomat day job and spy night job, had to do a lot of traveling. And he didn't feel the need to tell everyone what he was doing with his writing every day.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

For me, its one thing to know the end, but I wanna enjoy the ride to the end, so I lay plot eggs every day. And often the story changes significantly while remaining congruent with the end. Like life! We know the end but we die various ways, at various times.

Pilot, are you suggesting that James doesn't have two jobs and a whole lot of travelling to do?

Yep, although he seems to claim to have had forty-five jobs. I don't think he was as busy as Graham Greene was outside of writing.

My life is stranger than fiction. I got in grad school with no (zero) bachelors degree (I test well), it was a 5 year Masters program plus I hadda do all the coursework for a Masters of Psychology, too (that's 150 hours plus 30 hours). MY original program was Rehab which was brain and spinal cord injuries, addictions, and chronic psychiatric disability. Get this, I did it all full time, with two full time jobs, plus a wife and 4 kids. Incredible.

I got one better! Milton H. Erickson MD did his BA, MA, and MD degrees simultaneously. Plus he had polio.

I wouldn't do it again because I hated psychotherapy once I did it.

So Pottyhead can blabber all he wants because others are so fucking far beyond him its like a 4th dimension.

45 jobs? I worked since I was 12, so the number is closer to 20.

Most people waste so much time they could use for extra income, education, or both.

I'm not superlative, I simply know how to use time right.

Don't forget his marriage and the affairs he was having. He was one busy man. Kept lots of balls in the air. OTOH, Travels With My Aunt is one of my "favoritest" fun books.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

No one reads him anymore.

 

[sr71plt]

Alas, that's because he can't write anymore. I think he's the only author for whom I tracked down everything and read it all (which was a bit dicey, as his books were published under different titles in the UK and U.S. markets and I lived off and on where the UK market predominated).

Is he worth the candle?

I think so. Obviously about my favorite author since I tracked everything down to read. I don't really care what you think.
