Tried to keep it up with this novel-in-progress...Can't manage it. I like writing novels and all but I miss writing my lyrical, purple prose, prose poetry. I found out I'm happiest writing when I'm hunkering down and writing at a sentence level. It feels like I'm better at that. Either way, the happy outweighs whatever else I might be able to do with a novel. I've written five of them now and that's five more than I thought I'd write. I do kind of dislike that I've written 90 pages on this last one, but, who knows, there may be sections I can revisit and pull from for other work?
Just watched A Complete Unknown and thinking now I should actually listen to some of Dylan's songs - at least Highway 61 Revisited. The final scene in the biopic might have been conjecture, creative license, and it might have been overdoing it some, but I liked it. Maybe it happened; I can't know, I'm pretty sure. TC is becoming one of my favorite actors, especially since he knighted (The King reference) Joaquin Phoenix as the Strange GOAT. Or something like that - strange or crazy. I think strange. For the record, he said Denzel was the GOAT GOAT. I'd mostly agree, except Denzel has kind of a John Wayne acting method going...no matter what movie he's in he's sort of just playing himself.
Ordered a bunch of books with my bunch of Amazon gift cards. It's that time of year. On that note, they're all hard copies. I've spent the last three years buying only Kindle, and it's been nice with the instant gratification and all that, but I miss holding a new book in my hands. So there you go. Important updates all around.
Alright, let's go write something and then read something and then go to bed.
