For The Pussy People

him in her arms, and carried him downstairs. He was only half awake. "Your mother wants you," she said. She opened the door of a room on the floor below and took the child over to a bed in which a woman was lying. It was his mother. She stretched out her arms, and the child nestled by her side. He did not ask why he had been awakened. The woman kissed his eyes, and with thin, small hands felt the warm body through his white flannel nightgown. She pressed him closer to herself. "Are you sleepy, darling?" she said. Her voice was so weak that it seemed to come already from a great distance. The child did not answer, but smiled

I read OF HUMAN BONDAGE 50 years ago. The writing is impressive tho few read Somersety Maugham these days. This snippet is at the beginning, just before the mother dies.

Your head cant be up your ass and where it needs to be, at the same time. So start the writing where you need to be.

The art of psychotherapy is all about moving heads to where they need to be, anchor them securely, then add a new mindset, anchor it, then release both together. Something novel usually happens because people cant be both at the same time. It explains why Pussy People resist good counsel. Gotta spring it on them.

<- just looks and dresses the part of being classified with the "pussy people". Nothing wrong with pussy; I happen to love it myself. If I had one I'd play with it 24/7/375 and try to take over the world one fucking at a time. Kant

Last night the Old Lady and me talked about what I call ANCHORS & TRIGGERS. They are, of course, stimuli and responses known to all within a society. But writers never talk about them, so I may do a HOW TO essay and submit it.

I'm reading an early Raymond Chandler novella of 1934. It starts slow and focused on a dull subject but soon gets interesting with a scene built around delirium tremens. I suspect the scene is authentic as Chandler was fired for alcoholism in 1933, and his wife was a heroin addict. The scene re-appears in a later novel. Chandler always claimed his writing style was simple cannibalization. I do the same.

But Chandler wrote better as he fell into his alcoholic abyss.

King says his best wares came when he was alcoholic and addicted to pain meds. He adds he lost the mojo after he got sober.

Can addiction work for you?

I think a substance can relax the mind and inspire the muse. But its not going to work long term because addiction takes a lot more away from you in other areas.

Was Kings pain med addiction fairly recent and from that accident where he was hit by a van?

He got run over back around 1980, I think it was. The newspaper says 1999, but I seem to recall an earlier incident.

I was on ether back in 1956, and I vividly recall the hallucinations I had.

THE MAN WHO LIKED DOGS
by Raymond Chandler
4 stars

Its a 1934 novella that later became one of Chandlers popular novels of a different title, tho the differences are significant.

It gets 4 stars because the writing is cartoonish. Its one of his first efforts and superior to what most of his competitors produced in their prime, but its not close to Chandler's best. Philip Marlowe is a shadow of what he will be in 6 years. Chandler fans will enjoy the read, you wont.

Marlowe is hired to find a missing girl, a young teen. Her dog vanished, too. Marlowe finds the dog first. Two notorious bank robber-killers have the dog. A vet leads Marlowe to the dog. Marlowe suspects the criminals have the girl. Its more complicated than that....the police kidnapped the girl. The rest is bizarre but plausible. In the novel Marlowe is hunting a fortune in jewels, but the plot is the same.

When are you outta your depth?

With a 40K tale on the drawing board it feels like wandering, lost in the wilderness. While several smaller stories are no effort at all. ONE LIT page may be my natural limit.

IN THE LATE SUMMER of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the

Hemingway, Ernest (2012-07-10). A Farewell to Arms: The Hemingway Library Edition (Kindle Locations 354-358). Scribner. Kindle Edition.

I don't get Hemingway tho many love him. In my opinion he fails to shit or get off the toilet. He likes restrooms more than he likes using them. Commodes exist to be used. A FAREWELL TO ARMS is his masterwork. I don't get it.

Its a novel about death but I always obsess about the dying when death comes along.

Completed a story today. Its 2100 words of stroke, but a real story.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Submitted the incest story, then started a sequel that's short and sweet. Less than 2500 words of stroke and simple plot.

I philosophize everything. I excavate and burrow till I get to the core. And after I get there all the scattered pieces fit and it all makes sense. Last night I contemplated story resolutions.

The resolution must settle something that powers the tale.

I bought a story about a lad. his mom, and her wife. Its well written and implausible. There are no conflicts even when ma moves junior to her bed and sends the wife to his bed.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

My story sequel is ready to edit with 2300 words. Ma fucks Sonny when he comes home on leave from the army but has a young priest who's interested in her. Too much temptation.

The first chapter got lotsa favorites and reads, but as I said, incest readers demand widows and orphans.
