hello world, i had a very weak weekend this week, did maybe one day of work the other days i just agonized about not working, i think im still adjusting to only
being able to work on the weekend, hopefully next week i will do better
and also the fact that im doing longhand, which is raw manuscript, which i hate
the day that i did work i did good work, realized as i was working just how
hard im playing everybody on the board including the reader, came up with a nice
little post i sent out on the social media spaces:
the novelist at best is the great manipulator – playing with characters and readers with form, cultures, realities and human destiny – a good novel everything is in play
this came about because my metafictional storyteller narrator is consciously playing all these entities on the hoodoo board of destiny/in his text
this also came out of how i want my work to be essentialist, essential to viable existence that if you havent read me you dont understand the world like folk who have, you are at an
evolutional disadvantage,
thats what i want, thats when i feel like im macking it
okay, enuf of that, did a draft of ‘uncertain trumpet of barack of obama’ post, if i was doing it on rootsblog i would go ahead and put it up as is and clean it up over the next couple of days but since
tbr i dont have direct access for rewrite purposes i guess i best let it mature before i send it in
dont want to let it hang around too long because i cant spend a lot of time working on it
thats eating up noveltime, i cant give it but so much of that up
interesting doing it behind all that controversy about sept 11, this battle
to define what that day means to us, means to america, this is a battle
for the soul of america, as is nov 2010, and 2012, ohwell, let me save all that for my obama piece
its 3 am sunday morning and i should be reading manuscripts now,
but ima see if i can get me a 6 hour longhand session in 1st, i do that
and i will feel okay about this weekend, i will feel good about myself, i will feel good about life
just give me some pages, lord, thats all i ask, give me some pages, give them to me now
your devoted servant
