NaNoWriMo update..

Garbage man stuff... I created a synopsis that I am pleased with. Of course that is easy to do because the balance is still in the imagination. Will I then destroy the imaginability? Anyway my second attempt at an opening attempts to have a hook based on ideas, rather than compelling action. I'm not sure if that is a great idea but it...

That's true but so does smoking which a ton of people do to excess with no concern for it. I would happly take a small dip in immune response for a day if it meant locking in a desired memory for future recall.... smile

Wow...that's one memory I'd like to forget however....good story-telling however... smile

sounds like you're off to a great start smile

Okay...I saw the link in a comment made by Sorcha, whose name I am waiting to steal (I check it every day). Then in the writing group.

I got looked down the precipice and decided I would take the plunge..

I'm doing the NaNoWriMo writing marathon. The goal is to produce 50,000 words by midnight November 30th. Ideally something well written. Technically it must...

Yesterday, I saw a man flatline 5 feet in front of me, on the Metra home, while a personal trainer, and a civie performed CPR on him.

He collapsed, his heart stopped beating, he was turning purple, and he stopped breathing. They got a pulse back several times and lost him several times. Finally the CFD showed up and zapped him.

I couldn't move because...

i had the very unfortunate experience of watching someone die. it is both the most real and most surreal moment of my life. it was a random car accident in front of the building i was living in, no rhyme or reason to it. what i saw gave me a bit of a different filter to look at life through. i very much agree with what lady_sappho said.

Good question. But would being a Republican be an absolute contraindication to being your friend? I'm sure there are some cool Repubs out there... confused

Now. Update with more than a single word. The Lady commands thee. tongue

Thats pretty wild. I was asleep and again C woke me and I remember her saying they got it. Why does everything happen when I'm coming out of sleep?

But I went back to bed not knowing when she'll get it back.

I woke up this morning and there it was under the stairwell.

That baby has a history now. And I guess according to...

Okay its my turn for the 48 hours thing.

C got her scooter stolen in my hood. I always knew this place was bit sketchy but I figured whatever lock protection she had going on with the scooter was going to to keep it secure. I mean scooters aren't made to be easy snatches right? Otherwise whats the point of having them on the streets...

I am pissed about claremarie's scooter getting stolen.

I mean what the fuck kinda of assholes live around here. I seriously want to punch some faces.

Oh if I only knew what those faces looked like. Fucking smirking ass bastards. They deserve to hurt.

agreed. i mean, not so much on the violence bit ... but on the whole injustice of it all & the lack of consideration for others. with ya on that one.
prendick:
Uh, yeah...that area ain't too good...I don't care what they say. I've lived in the same hood for like 12 years and so far so good, only moved a street or two at a time.

Whoever did it is, as the reverendOJFlow would say, an ass clown.

Don't get mad mad get even tongue

Nothing's new that why I decided to update.

Though I did have an offer for an interview for a position at Securian, a financial planning company, this being in the SF Bay Area.

In my mind it would be a huge leap. Its an effort by my father to take care of me and get my career started. I tried being a stockbroker before,...

Yes! biggrin

I finally started writing!. I've had this story in me for at least 9 months gestating (kinda like a baby perhaps). I had grown more and more attached. At first exploring the potential for the symbolism of its various elements, which in my mind touch upon some very broad and basic abstractions.

Then as I desired to get down to writing this story, which...

Ha! I just found the pictures you guys took. You must have done that while I was in the bathroom. I was reeeaaaalllyyy confused for a second.

Oh wait. You had on a different outfit, and the pics were before the one I took of Katy driving. You must have done that when Claremarie babysat our cameras for us. How cute. smile

i don't know much about loeb & leopold. i do know that one of them (both?) was affiliated with u of c. whatever that's worth.

i like the way you think about writing. reflexivity is always cool. the manner in which you are not only considering the story itself, but the medium in which to transfer it ... i just like that. it makes me tingle. i know that when i write (which is not fiction), its similar: what is the argument? what is the best structure? what is the evidence? the planning seems so key.

Its not like me to lay the contents of my mental man purse all over the desk Allison Reynolds style. Otherwise I would have been more active. But not debris on this level.

Okay. Nothing new and bad has happened to me. I have just been active in cleaning house finally. I did a lot of avoidance in the past. I mean 2004 is the...

7737100567 Some stuff has changed since I sent you that last message, unfortunately. Tara has to work Saturday morning in order to get Sunday off (we're going to a friend's wedding), so we're not going out like I thought we would.
We would've been interested in Dysesthesia's invite to Neo too. But normally we're better about going out Fridays, it's just this one was different. Sorry about that.

We'll get this right one of these days. wink
