I want piggy
Posted on December 2nd, 2008 by monsoux
Coming back to Buch we saw a bunch of piglets on the side of the road somewhere near Horezu. He, of course, has immediately declared we should stop and get them. As pets. And it’s now recurrently surfacing every now and then, to our mutual amusement: “Baby, go back. I want my piggy!”
Other then that, I am in limbo in so many ways it’s hard to count. Yeap, for the moment I can only count on credit. Being a hobo sucks!
Being a hobo does suck, but think of all the ham sandwiches that are waiting!
it might not suck, but it’s not my style. How’s that book coming?
Actually, you are right - you have read that some of the best times I had was when I was poor. (Still am.) But, the suckiness factor seeps in after awhile - unless you like traveling to homeless shelter after homeless shelter and seducing the occasional unwary guy there. If that’s your thing - I read somewhere there are people that are into that sort of thing…
As for my book? Like me - it’s a mess. But I do like what it is becoming. The title is perfect - “Just for Kicks”. The problem in editing is that there are two distict writing styles - the straight forward description sections from my earlier blogging years to the “spontanious prose” of the later entries. This is what is making my publisher unhappy - and it is hard on my part getting the two styles to mesh into a coesive story. I have until March of next year to finish it. It is 218 pages of gutwrenching horror. But, real funny, too.
Got a contract with Amazon.com - so, at least if I finish it and am happy with it by March, the monster will be published.
oh well, let me know when you finish the mess. I have an affinity with mess and I’d like to own it, although for the most part it owns me. So don’t forget to play your part, and I’ll be a reader. Since all is about me (silly, you thought otherwise?!? ntzntz), I am very curious how I, the e-reader, will be different from the hard copy reader.
