lauraanne_gilmanA few lines that have pleased me today.
"Nothing like a bunch of giggling dwarves to set your nerves on edge."
The chair came down on the back of the stranger’s head, and as the man doubled over, Sergei gut-punched him with obvious, malicious relish in the act.
Boys, she thought, and left them to it.
Yes, they are from two different projects.
Got to write a chase scene today. It wasn't the chase scene I thought it was going to be, but it ended up being better, more interesting, and more fun to write. And there is a comic interlude. All good things. It's still not Draft, but we're closer...
Also, the Giants won. The Red Sox won. The Yankees won. My entire family is happy tonight. That's good.
Did you all see Bruce on 60 Minutes? What he said about why he's still on tour? How "the star thing I can live with. The music I can't live without?" Yeah. That's it, right there. It's why we keep hitting our head against the keyboard and locking ourselves in the office, and giving up other stuff so what's inside can get out.
"Why are you still writing?" Pelley asks.
"It's how I find out who you are, and who I am, and then who we are....I got the chutzpa or whatever you want to say to believe that if I write a really good song about it, it's going to make a difference. It’s going to matter to somebody."
Amen.
I have been awake since 5am. I need to sleep now.
