Firstly, last weekend I did 12,000 words on the Ducklings.... first draft, and will probably do more this weekend. I had to trim down the details for we are inserting in illustrated drawings to showcase the tale...a bold move but I hoped it will make the tale more 'palatable'..... crisp on the skin, juicy on the flesh and bone sucking delicious...It was actually a lot of fun writing it; not the serious stuff like Othello or Tempest, but keeping it above the PG13 to the T17 level.
Meantime I am reading Titus Andronicus. Its another shocking tragedy by the Bard. Why tragedies? I be darned if I could explained it. I really don't know why but writing tragedies allowed me to give an in-depth look into the characters not written in Bard' plays You can't give an in-depth analysis of a character that makes you go 'ha ha ha' on most syllable..until you are due for the asylum, or I came from there. In tragedies, as seen in the Tempest and also in Othello, I found the prologues explained the characters well. More to it, steamy sex scenes are more 'guy ..I meant gut wrenching' to write in tragedies. The other one which I completed from Bard was Coriolanius. Poor sod fought for his country and ended up killed for it.
Talking about the ....sods, last nite, I had a sudden awakening on a tale I had kept in the folders for some time. It was to be a tale of the Chinese Eunuch with notable events with the real events, but I got stuck after some chapters....Ain't easy to write historical events ( keeping it close to the events ) while reading about the above when parts of your mind was on Preys & Predators steamy scenes Pardon the exclusion, but I found my focus then had issue trying to stay 'hard' on the tale then, so I KIV it. But last nite (darned heavy meals taken with my some guests of mine may had trigger it off. It could had been the Buffalo penis broth; they called it the Torpedo Soup there. I must file a report with the chef; its wonder went to my head.)
I had a vision on the tale. a new vision... it ain't 'cliff hanging' ol 'droopy sag yet' if you understand my pun. I was thinking of adding in locomotives and gears coupled with belts and punkish Goth designs. Yo, I am going to steam rolled it over with a new approach. I can read the headlines now; 'Eunuch goes Steam Punk.' I actually liked that idea although it woke me up at 3am. I slept later at 4am for I was 'hard' on the concept, and eventually did the download. A mess it was; darned locomotive did not have brakes on.
Well, soon after I completed the Ducklings first. They are well marinated and ready for roasting now. I will come for those eunuchs...
Till then, All correspondence could be made to Room 17 ( next to the Joker ) at Gotham Healthier Lodgings. Pardon me if I do not reply but they have not designed a strait jacket with pencil leads on it.
P.S. Pardon the bad puns up there, I was watching Son of Batman movie. Yup, Batman have a kiddo with his greatest enemy Ra's Al Gul daughter. I always did wonder if Bruce ever you know... Guess, I got my reply. He could only do it as Batman. Perhaps its to do with the 'bats'. I ought to congratulate Bats; he done a 'howzat' there. I could had sworn I never had tried that upside down like Bats unless I have on a raincoat on to catch the 'rain'.
P.S.S. "Howzat" is normally used in cricket where they used bats to hit the balls. It also means "How's that?" in the dictionary.
