GLORY BE TO THOSE WHO FINALLY FINISH THEIR STORIES
Today was my day to put together a story that had been sitting around in bits. Inspiration came in the form of glue. This is how I feel and I hope the gloss of brand-new will not wear off.
When I finished I treated myself to a bit of surfing around. Catch a whiff of Jeff Landon at the Writers Profile Project who was with us at the Atlanta AWP reading his wonderful story, Dolls. Also, Darlin Neal's story POP is up at elimae. 3 Stories by Myfanwy Collins up at Frigg.
Truly enjoyed a Korean film on DVD, UNTOLD SCANDAL - even thought I didn't expect to - another adaptation of the French Novel Dangerous Liasions. No one needed another version of Dangerous Liasions but I found this movie visually arresting. I wouldn't be surprised to find a Hollywood borrowing of the elegance in this film at some future Oscar, the way Departed borrowed so closely from a Chinese film. I saw a review which said that the leading character should have had more verve and expression -- but then it would have been an American film?
