The Novel Writer

-


The essence of literature...the ability to write a book...like really, donald...not have some ghost writer do it for you, and you pay him for it...and call it your own...I digress...this art of using words to capture the reader's imagination...I am kind of laughing, as I recall a song by the Beatles 'Paperback Writer'...but here, in my retirement years...I have turned to reading books...some are factual, called Non-fiction....which may grab you...the ones that tickle me, are the fiction books...the Novels...

Some of you out there prefer the e-books...in fact I bought 2 of them...very handy and dandy...BUT, I prefer the hard copy...not sure why...it's not the pictures, as there are rarely any...ha ha...for some reason, it just draws me back...faster...my preference, is the who-done-it ones...especially, the taxing to figure out beauties...

For the highly intellectual, deep reading passionate reader...there are cats that I wouldn't even fathom wasting my precious and few hours trying to figure out...what the author is trying to say...and don't even get me going on Shakespeare and that sort of thang...somebody determined that we all should know about that...back in my school days...JCC....I could care less, then...and now...

John Grisham...has appealed to me, more than anyone...I may have read all his novels...and now...I am into this bloke called James Patterson...who has written over 200...what?...same age as moi, and has a style that, at first, bothered me...he writes in short chapters...now, I am used to it...after but 2, he has used the same characters in each...not sure if it's a pattern...however, like Grisham's, they are fast reads...my petulant kick of keeping everything simple...ah, KISS...once finished, I am happy and satisfied...

Yes, the Horse has written a book...a novel...it was drivel...the typing of it, was the downfall...I have one crooked finger, which lines up with one crooked eye...takes me forever to write, what I think...thus, the Blog is much easier...and even easier to correct...my mind is wild, but my typing, not so much...any Ghosts out there?...

Pivoting...

The Friars are on this gut wrenching train...having to win, to stay up with them Bums and DBacks...who are on the same train...we ALL are chugging along...something's got to give...probably will hit the same crossroad, when we play each other...for us, one more with Pitt today...then off to the great state of Colorado, where we will take on the lightning and the Buddy Black's Rockies...

You watching them polls, Bozo?...yup, you are...that's why you want to debate, like 3 times...ha ha...that is, if you are not incarcerated...which would be a real dilemma...you would be in the slammer, Kamala would be at the podium...thing is, you would be white, and not orange...except for what you are wearing...

You should see all the tearing out of the home...all around us...ie, the drywall, now...we were so lucky...and can hardly wait to fly out next week...to get away from all this...

Are you as confused as I as to what Ukraine is doing?...marching into Russia...is the goal to keep on going to Moscow?...and, just south of there...Iran is boasting they are about to attack Israel...that whole area is totally combustible...

Finally, the Boyz and I are waiting til Friday....to make sure there is no Covid amongst the group...another day without golf...yes, the Horse has withdrawals...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
