Why is that? Is it because I lack the imagination to come up with something as bizarre, or is it the intrigue?

Like I always thought my father enlisted in the navy in '36 because his step father was a mean bastard and that's why as soon as he graduated HS he enlisted, truth was that was why i enlisted but he went because the depression was on stil and did the entire war in the pacific on aircraft carriers, which tells me why he never talked about his 11 years in the navy. Kamikaze etc.<BR/><BR/>But the funny thing was his step father was a nice guy according to my mom and inhis younger days played piano in a whorehouse (don't ask how he got paid because I don't know) but his biological father was the man in the beret, he moved in with a couple and whenever there was a vacation taken it was my grandfather who took the wife on vacation.<BR/><BR/>Yes i agree life is stranger than fiction but the best thing about fiction even ifbased on life with a name change you can tell whatever big fat whopping lie about whatever situation you want. I wrote a tory about my mothers father , who was a kind and gentle man who spent a few days making bathtub gin. He never drank, not even beer so the whole of the story was ficton but it was funny. because all of the people were based in the reality pf their times but they were doing things they would never do in life. i would write about the grandfather who played piano as a preacher in a whorehouse but not getting any just paying for drink or two and trying to convert the women from thier promiscuity. The other biological grandfather for him I would just have to change his name and let it run with the things about him i know nothing about except his living situation, I am not sure how that would be told but be told it would.<BR/><BR/>Michelle you have the great talent for pulling strangeness from reality and reality from strangeness. And it was you more than any writer except maybe Bukowski who opened my eye to there is a story to be told in everything, even the story you told today without telling the story.<BR/><BR/>peace<BR/><BR/>TWM<BR/><BR/>and no I am not going to proof read this i just had to fix poetry in motion and it pissed me off so everyone will have to live with the tipo'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-1164741187851420422006-11-28T14:13:00.000-05:002006-11-28T14:13:00.000-05:00Sometimes, fiction doesn't work when you try to us...Sometimes, fiction doesn't work when you try to use "real people."<BR/><BR/>(From what little I know about it.)<BR/><BR/>You often have to use exaggerations of real people, like, "This is going to be Person X to the Nth degree" or, "This is going to be Bob, on steroids" or "This is what would happen if Bob and Dave got in that telepod chamber in <I>The Fly</I>."<BR/><BR/>Real people usually just aren't as committed, obsessed, out-there, interesting, etc. as fictional people are.Zen Wizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932736559039078183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-1164736458893719992006-11-28T12:54:00.000-05:002006-11-28T12:54:00.000-05:00H and R Puffenstuff!

WTF, eh? (Of course, you know I think you are a beautiful woman on the outside, but I have the honor of knowing you personally, and I also know that you are not a paper doll, but a multi-dimensional, breathing, bleeding, giving, talented, lovely, deep, funny, intelligent, educated, wise woman! You have been called a "fox" but you and I both know . . . foxes eat little men! Oh, such fools.<BR/><BR/>First, I loved the quote by Janis . . . I know THAT feeling all too well! If it walks like a . . . well, damn it - it fucking is!<BR/><BR/>I am ( I must admit!) a bit envious of how loyal you are to your writing. A once mutual friend of ours gave you constant kudos for keeping up with your craft, sharpening your skills, sharing your gifts . . . writing, writing, writing! <BR/><BR/>That all said, I thought this posting was brilliant. Yes, writing about these strange, little, every day realities is difficult to do - as you put it so well: you were "hard-pressed to make any of them seem less then wooden." I find it easier to take a seemingly "nothing" experience and give it mouth-to-mouth - freeing it to be what it actually is when not under the guise of innocence, normalcy, nothingness.<BR/><BR/>But, to take a big action, a strange happening and write about it in its actuality without killing the underlying subtleties, and without defacing the characters . . . well, that is a hard one!<BR/><BR/>You always seem to do it, Michelle! <BR/><BR/>And, that ending!

A very difficult thing to do. To be able to put a sequence of words together that makes the general public eager to read those words. I don't know if I could ever do that.
