It's gonna be a doozy. Like, it's gonna be about 4 people who do a helluva lot of walking ... I mean a lot of walking. Big time. It's going to be about 7000 pages (small text too not big text) .... split into two volumes. These volumes are gonna be heavy like drop it on your foot and you break your foot heavy.
I'm gonna do all the description of stuff in the book in italics and centered ... thus if you want to skip the description parts and just read the main story you can too. Like the format's gonna be:
"Main story, important stuff, doings a transpiring left and right, call-back to something that happened two chapters ago, conflict, macguffin, main story, important stuff etc.
Poetic description of the surroundings, very flowery description of what the room looks like. It'll probably even rhyme too or be in some kinda pentameter (whatever a pentameter is). Beautiful language to describe the person the main character(s) just met .... etc, etc.
Then back to the main story after the descriptive poetic break, important stuff, doings a transpiring left and right, call-back to something that happened two chapters ago, conflict, macguffin, main story, important stuff etc."
-example
So that way if you don't wanna read all the extra fluff description parts in the 7000+ pages you can get through it more faster if you skip the poetic description parts (which don't alter the main story but just add a descriptive flavor to the whole shebang). The main story is tool-oriented where nothing is mentioned or brought up if it isn't focal to the story .... the italic parts will be like wicked poetry about how people look and stuff. That way you get the best of both worlds. The meticulous and methodical weaving of a well segmented story interceded with italic/centered description which is not central to the story but is extravagantly crafted as if by an expert poet.
I'm not lying that my goal with this thing is a 7000+ (small text) page meandering foot-based journey so it's gonna take up most of my time devoted to writing I think.
The post stats said over the last 7 years I wrote about 35+ essays per year. That's gonna be a lot less now. I'll probably do about like 5 a year. I'm basically retiring from this. It was a great learning experience but as of now my writing tools/skills are probably good enough to like "level up" I guess and attempt a bigger-more challenge.
My book is gonna be good but I don't know how shit gets published and whatnot and it's gonna take a long time so chances are the only person who's ever gonna read it is me ... but whatever. It's my new "writing goal" so to speak and I'm gonna smash it loose as they say.
As for bloggerin', I thought it would be so bad ass to just like delete everything cause like that's so bad ass ... but then I thought some of this shit is actually pretty good. So I'm leaving this archive up .... a "best of D" I guess. It's around 175 essays this archive. The heavier ones are omitted. I'll keep a couple of religious/political/heavy ones up but most of them didn't make the Best Of D.
New essays, barring insanity afoot mind you, will be more uplifting and positive in nature. There's enough angry silliness in the world today as it is.
I don't wanna say bad stuff about religion no more. Everyone believes in something, you know? You got to. I found my personal religion in the form of combining the intriguing world of Baseball Statistics with the Tenets of Buddhism. That's all these things are anyways, these religions, just numerology and mysticism. Baseball stats as Numerology and Buddhist folklore as philosophical Mysticism sits pretty well with me. I'm a Baseball-Buddhist ... and my religion is surely not anymore smarter than any of the other ones so I'm done saying bad stuff about religions.
I also want to apologize to Oprah. I wrote a negative article about her very early on, it was about her and humorist Zach Anner circa 2011 ... back then I was less cooth at writing and I won't include it in this "Best of D" archive. She's a great lady ... and if she's serious about running for the President next time around... I hope she does. She's a great lady and she could even win.
So, yeah, any new entries here are gonna be more positiver and more better. I'm a new D.
I am now D 2.0
