Mel Brooks is a comedic genius. I recently found out he is working on a sequel to History of the World. I’m looking forward to experiencing it once it comes out.

Now, as a semi-tangent thing, I just finished chunk 26 of A New Day where I have one of the main characters going off on a rant on his view of creation itself. I know it’s an info dump, as self-serving as it is, so I tried to put some humor in it along with keeping it understandable. That of course brought my mind back to Mel.

I love you Mel.

Anywho…

Whose had enough of my professing of love for male figures recently?

[Seinfeld voice] What’s the deal with that?

Anywho… (part II) < Mel reference again

I’m going to wrap this up and head back home. I’ve got domestic duties to attend to. And that also means allowing my plot outline for chunk 27 to percolate some more in the back of my mind. It’s where Jessica starts having even more rocks thrown at her.

How to write a book.

1. Introduced characters and scene.
2. Get them stuck up a tree and throw rocks at them.
3. They outsmart you jump out of the tree. But being as evil as you are, you toss them back up and renew throwing rocks.
4. Start laughing diabolically aloud as you keep throwing rocks at them.
5. Start to feel bad at your constant pelting of rocks and then start throwing more rocks at them until the sense of guilt fades.
6. Randomly start repeating steps 2 through 4 all over again.

Tootles all
