I spent yesterday researching my FAWC story. I learned some surprising facts from it. Like, Australian Pines really aren't Australian. They were common here 60 years ago, I haven't seen one in decades. American Crocodiles are native to Florida and co-exist with American Alligators. Our crocs drown in water cooler than 45 degrees F, so they live almost entirely in Everglades coastal areas. I always heard theyre small and timid. They aren't. Males grow to 20 feet and weigh about 800-1000 pounds. They eat people, too, but theyre less aggressive than Nile or Australian crocs. I had no idea a 700 pound male was captured HERE in 2013. I'm 200 miles from Miami.

Crocs and pine trees don't figure in my story, though.

Australian Pines

Some LW readers are annoyed that one chapter of my HAZARDOUS WASTE tale features no sex tho I make every effort to screw readers. In chapter 5 there's some lesbian sex, the gals look like Glenn Beck, Drew Carey, and Chazz Bono.

What you call Australian pines are known here as Casuarinas or sheoaks. They are native to Australia, SE Asia, Southern India, and Madagasgar. Local authorities like planting them because the needles kill off anything which trys to grow beneath them.They are not attractive.

Not attractive at all but uncommonly salt tolerant on beaches and causeways where erosion control is necessary.

Dammit JBJ, I just went on an hour long jaunt in Wiki. First I read "Australian" as "Austrian" so I looked up Austrian pine since my folks planted a bunch of the things as a windbreak a few decades ago, and everytime i go back i'm treated to a lecture of the advantages and disadvantages of various trees as windbreaks..

Then I went back to the Australian pine, and from there to just about every pine that got referenced in the 'see also' section of both entries. From there I read all about the Martin PBM Mariner in Wiki as well. Have no idea how I got there.

Damn you, damn you to hell. Before she gets back I'm supposed to finish a bunch of honey do projects that she-who-must-be-obeyed set me.

So I'll spend another hour here futzing around before I get to any. Maybe my charm and winning smile will keep me out of the dog house.

I thought this thread was about trees and Crocodiles. So why the picture of my first wife

This is my official SAFE PLACE where I may demonize and discredit you but you must kiss my ass I feel so disparaged. I need some muscle to remove you.

Are LIT poets paranoid schizophrenics?

If it makes no sense it conceals meaning or the writer has organic brain disorder of some kind, right?

We tend to see them more next to brackish water, mangroves seem to out compete them so long as there are no frosts.

The Casuarina has an unusual name which is Malayan in origin. The tree was named after a bird, the Cassowary, because its needles are a bit like a Cassowaries feathers

Yes. Around here they were planted adjacent to salt water, the beach usta be covered with them. In fact they made wonderful shade for people who wanted a spot to nap on a hot day or had too much Sun on the beach.

I thought the name came from the tree's genus tag.

Just hadda sweet brain fart for my FAWC story.

I started a new series. Its really a series about a modern Elliott Ness at war with ISIS in America. But he cant walk the streets carrying an axe handle, he must play Clark Kent when the pols are looking. ISIS, it turns out, are thugs American elites hire to harass mom & pop bizness.

Readers have trouble with existentialism. Here it is in its pure form. WAR & PEACE by Tolstoy

One of my readers compared my stuff to Charles Willeford's stuff. I admire Willeford. His stuff was good but extreme. Plenty of his writing wouldn't be allowed at LIT. The worst of it is true as Gospel, but too much. Still, the events and players are common fare in the newspapers.

I found a character name I like. The last name is HEARTLESS. Its a real name come to America from the Anglo-Saxons. The spelling changed from the original. In the beginning it was HART-something, pertaining to deer. Like deerhunter. I need a first name. My character is Vladimir Putin.

I wanna build a character around this guy. Commodus was the prototypical politician.

WTF

Plenty on LIT is awful trash.

I kinda read the title as "Ass and Titties" and now I have that damn song stuck in my head.

'Jot' from 'iota' from Hebrew letter 'yod', which is a 'Y', but I guess you're an 'S', yes?

Haven't read his other stuff yet, but Animal Crackers is pretty good. The Satan character was unnecessary, I thought. It would still have been a good story. Earned a green E. If you can capture the attention of someone who has to wade through 100 amateur stories a day, then you've done something.

The author left a comment that said many of the same things you said about dialects and aphorisms in the Love is a Lie thread.

A couple I know sent me a generous Amazon gift card I used to buy several Kindle books, including 4 by Robert Crais, one by LeCarre, one by John Toland, one by Michael Connelly, one by Charles Willeford, Psycho by Robert Bloch, and I Am Legend by Richard Mathisen.

My old Kindle died so I bought a new Kindle...on sale for $50. I hate it. My grandson has a new old Kindle (unused) so he's trading with me.

I created a character I like so I wanna write stories around this character during 2016. I may team him with another character to see where things go.

I have the original nook. Sometimes a book I want is not available for nook, but is available for Kindle. You can get a free program called Calibre which allows you to convert from almost any ebook format to any of a dozen other ebook formats with one click. It saves a copy of the new format, and leaves the original untouched so you have all converted versions.

I have lots of Kindle books on my nook, now as EPUB files. My nook treats them like any other nook book.

If it's an ebook I bought to analyze, I convert it to RTF and load it into Scrivener so I can freely dissect it into scenes, or mark it up with highlights, text edits, cut and paste from other stories or docs for comparisons, whatever.
