Yesterday and today are fast and deliberate with no time for thinking. Precision is imperative. Believability hinges on perfect timing.
You might compare my life to a Drew Barrymore fight scene in a Charlie’s Angels movie. With perfect choreography it is almost halfway believable. But mostly you’ll find yourself scoffing and wishing for your money back.
Of course, this may all just be a big crock of make believe. I’ve never actually seen Drew Barrymore in a Charlie’s Angels movie. Maybe she doesn’t fight at all. Maybe she just falls in big puddles and stands around shivering in wet clothes.
If that’s what happens, then go ahead and imagine that one instead. It sums things up just as well.
You must go rent that movie this weekend! Whack! Pfut!*pose, primp, posture*
Fun.
You need a smile, I think, and all I have are these Stephen King quotations:
I’ve got a bitch of a headache
and one hell of an idea.
The combination is killing me.
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
Only enemies speak the truth;
friends and lovers lie endlessly,
caught in the web of duty.
I hope tomorrow’s a better day for you.
Jo: I think you may have just hit upon the very essence of fiction writing! Pose, primp, posture The fine art of turning simple words into action figures!
Debi: I’m not quite sure if King quotes are curses or blessings. Coming from you, I’ll take it as a blessing. I think of King as the man who could type a book while sleeping with broken fingers. Under water. Inside a whale belly incased in a block of cement.
May I be so cursed / blessed. But with different stories, of course.
