1862Thanks.
By the way . . . Ladies, I should be at the Miami Book Fair this year, hope to have a booth that first Saturday--come hit on me! Will have wares. Could even bring my dog.
I will talk to the fellas too, but given my interests (film, music and music gear) I already talk to too many blokes and don't know many "Lit Chicks." So bring it on!

1863Dave how may we read this???DaveA wrote: Tue Mar 05, 2024 10:49 am Finished writing my second novel this week. Have a lot of good feelings about it.
I would like to extend sincere gratitude to each and every individual who offered me direct words and gestures of encouragement during the drawn-out phase of its creation (October 25, 2021 to March 4, 2024), no matter how small. This would extend to some of the amiable chit-chat/banter on this forum. Also, thanks to the many musicians whose stellar music made this process so much easier to bear (there are too many to mention, but rest assured, I'm still rooting for you).
Haters: Suck a dick. When your second novels come out, let us compare notes. You think it's easy, give it a shot sometime.
Anyway . . . Feels like I need a long vacation now. Will settle for family members not driving me nuts, being somewhat accommodating to my efforts and all of the logistics involved. It has been like pulling teeth at times trying to get everyone on the same page (no pun intended). Wouldn't recommend it.
Still making art in one’s mid-forties, amid the current cultural climate, does feel like swimming against the tide. But on a good day, it feels worth it.
Huge congrats : )

Re: Little Details from Your Day
1866Thanks, Seb. I'll let everybody know, in the appropriate sub-forum, when it's time. Guessing it'll be out around the middle of the year.
For now, the important thing to know is that this isn't a work of auto-fiction, wherein any one character is proxy for me. It's more of a living, breathing story, with multiple characters, some with competing interests and differing mindsets. Their storylines progress in tandem with each other and then come to a head. It's kind of a trip. A bit blended genre, but this time with gritty crime/mystery elements, in addition to all of the usual cultural references, romance, philosophizing, and local color. It also deals with playing in a band, and leans heavily into a kind of aging Gen X-er's mindset.
No one has to like it or care about it, here or elsewhere, but I do feel good about it. It took nine months to nail down the first chapter and then it was just a question of putting the work in.
To clarify, this week was a fluke; normally I'm not as prolific as Stephen King.

Re: Little Details from Your Day
1869I dropped my mouse on the floor and after that the backward-forward side buttons didn't work, like they'd been jammed.
Dropped it on the floor again and now they work.

Re: Little Details from Your Day
1870Last week or so I have been listening to Type O Negative. I'm not sure how this happened, I'm not proud of what happened. So that I read those lyrics to the song Black Number one ( quotes?) and it is the goofy weird goth vibe. It is the Walt Disney of goth tunes. This was around 6:30 PM central standard time. This really fucked things up because about a hour later I was reading Limp Biskets Wikipedia page. Nu Metal as a term? What if it where the case if these bands that are really into Krautrock? Neu! Metal, get it. Like that guy from corn doing a duet with the recently deceased singer from can. My god that would be like being in hell.
