Plus ca change, this grey old city! :-) <br /><br />Also just a quick recommendation of Fr. Rutler's biography of the Curé d'Ars. He writes like Chesterton. I think you would like it.<br /><br />Sinéad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-32732023697034152232014-12-12T23:08:23.946-08:002014-12-12T23:08:23.946-08:00That's a good point-- one would rarely think o...That's a good point-- one would rarely think of a decision to buy hot chocolate as especially nonchalant!<br /><br />Funnily enough I am reading a Stephen King book right now-- Firestarter-- and he inspires me to "jam" because, as he's often explained, he often has no idea where a story is going.<br /><br />I did not realize you live in Fairview! I know next to nothing about Fairview. I must have been there since it is is so close to Ballymun but I was never there knowingly. I promise to keep 'Fairview specific bus routes' safe but I can't promise the same for Karla....!Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-33089841098677457762014-12-12T14:45:06.140-08:002014-12-12T14:45:06.140-08:00I suppose it doesn't make sense and you're...<br />I suppose it doesn't make sense and you're not usually given to clumsy metaphors. How is buying a hot chocolate cool? Easy, humdrum perhaps but not cool.<br /><br />Keep jamming Bob Marley. Little lines like the confused homeless lady are like breadcrumbs in stories. Do you spot it? Then later when it was part of the trail you feel chuffed that you saw the writer's clue. Stephen King does that too, I remember having a row with one of my sisters about an epilogue of his. She wailed "why can't you seeeeee it, look look!!!" and I giggled because I was a teenage brat and a bit thick too. I must ask her which of his novels it was. She was probably correct. She roped me into Gone Girl too, we both agreed that was a burst balloon ending and nothing that she had missed.<br /><br />Also do you realise I live in Fairview and use the bus often? Fairview specific bus routes are to be kept safe in this story please. Much obliged!<br /><br />Sinéad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-42841444358903757032014-12-12T13:01:29.290-08:002014-12-12T13:01:29.290-08:00Thanks Sinéad!

I'm not particularly attached to it, just wondering!<br /><br />I wish I could tell you what the homeless lady saw but I have to admit that was a bit of "jamming". I mean, I'm not just making it up as I'm going along and I do have the plot pretty much worked out in my head but I just kind of threw that in there. Maybe she noticed something no casual passer-by would have noticed because she happened to be watching my protagonist. Bear with me, it will be explained!Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-28524067282804687542014-12-12T12:52:49.425-08:002014-12-12T12:52:49.425-08:00In the first paragraph the sentence about his deci...In the first paragraph the sentence about his decision and the hot chocolate is a bit clod- footed, not your usual style. Otherwise I really like it, especially the earnest Karla. Why is the homeless lady muddled - what does she see???? I must know!<br /><br />Keep writing thank you kindly.<br /><br />Sinéad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
