Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aha! Take that Book!

I just wrote the ending. Which, unfortunately, does not mean the book is done yet. But it didn't have an ending and now it does.

It's either very good or crap. (Something to do with potatoes and spiderwebs. How can that be wrong?!) After some seventy two hours of writing I can't really tell anymore.

Other sections seem to be very good though. I go back to fix things and instead say, "Hmmm, that'll do pig words."

Still not done. And it has to be done by tomorrow. But it is a whole book now. Just some sections have holes and the joins are rough.

I will continue with the sandpaper until I have to hand it over.

As long as it's not pretentious.

Congrats, David!

Congrats, man! I'm closing in on my first truly complete draft, too, although I have some major revisions coming up.

Congrats David! For me, getting that first draft, even a very rough one, is the hardest part.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hooray, Hec! Good news indeed and I am sure the sanding will go well.

I can't guarantee that, Jon! Also? There are metaphors.

Metaphors? Why, of all the dirty, rotten tricks.

I know. It's fucking lame, but there you have it. It's riddled with them.

I blame Tom Waits who is one metaphorical motherfucker.

How pretentious can you be? Everyone knows good music writing is as flatly descriptive and blandly MOR as Dave Marsh's haircut.
