Back in the Land of the Living
30/11/2017 10:22 pmSo the serpent has comfortably crossed the 60,000 word line with 300 words to spare. Will stick to the usual 50,000 next time or rather 55,555 because it looks so pretty.
It turns out that only about 40,000 of them belong to the actual story and the rest were rants and sorts of Morning Pages to get into the squiggling zone
The Write Night was on this evening from 6pm until 9pm
It was a fun event and more for socializing than actually doing any serious squiggling
There must have been about 40 fellow squigglers there and a good 10 of them made it to the Purple Circle (50,000 words or more)
There were oodles of prizes. I drooled over the box set of Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children. Was one of the first folks to win a prize so the Precioussss was all mine!
Got to add that to this morning's haul. A bright shiny hard back cover of "The Cursed Child"
I didn't see the point of buying a screen play rather than a proper novel when it first came out - especially at the ridiculous price of $45 for the hardback version. But when that very same book turns up in perfect condition for $4.25 before the 'staff' discount of 25% it is rather more tempting
And today was the end of another era. Finally finished "The Art of the Deal" which I started last October and had been reading it on and off (between lending it out to fellow fans)
Such a sour grapes Dog in the Manger. If I can't have then you can't either and if you look like you are going to say NO I will just turn around and say I never wanted your stupid shit in the first place
He (or rather Tony Schwartz) tells the reader that he pulled out of the tender process to open a casino in Australia way back in 1987. Because he realizes he has so much on his plate back at home. Likely story
Ages ago the Murdoch rag had a story about his casino application. I clicked on the link but instead of going to the story in a new tab, it downloaded some documents to the serpent's tweet stone. Which turned out to be the actual minutes from the 1987 Cabinet meeting with all the dirt on Donald in black and white. They obviously did a much better job digging around than CNN, Washington Post, NYT and all the main stream media in the States last year who gave him pretty much a free pass because RATINGS
Turns out that his application was rejected due to Trump (and Kern) being unsuitable of character, not financially viable and TRUMP MOB TIES
Oh and the gloating about all the BIG deals he is going to do in Moscow and how he was best of mates with Anatoly Dobrynin, a Russian big wig ambassador back in the 1980s and how Dobrynin's daughter was SO IMPRESSED with all she had read about the amazing Trump Tower that he made a special trip to visit the Emperor of New York so that Russia could get one too.
Even back then he was projecting, deflecting and diverting. Accusing the mayor of New York Ed Koch of every single thing that he is now doing. But that is a tale for another day. Definitely another November if the world as we know it still exists this time next year
Well Donald goes back on the shelf right next to Hillary's "Hard Choices" and the new book for December will be Marcus Zusak's "The Book Thief"
