#MondayBlogs – Charles Bukowski – On Writing – Brings Out A Bit Of Inspiration

I spent this weekend reading through most (not all yet) of the newest collection of Bukowski’s work. On Writing is a collection of various letters Bukowski sent to editors and publishers over the years. Throughout the letters he talks a lot about the craft however, and through reading I was able to bring out some inspiration and get a decent amount of writing done this weekend – 12 poems (each in need of editing, but at least they exist). After having read most all of his work it was nice to hear/read his voice again. Makes me wonder what it would be like if he was around today and had a twitter account… that’d be pretty awesome to see.

A Dozen Red Roses – By Dan Leicht #Poetry #MondayBlogs @Deeliopunk

Wilting roses rest

on top of half eaten fast food and beer cans

in a park at night

salted drops dry slowly beside a bench

as footsteps disappear into the distance

Lunch-Break – By Dan Leicht @Deeliopunk #Poetry #MondayBlogs

crossing the street at noon

to spend eight dollars on a mountain of toppings

sitting across from a friend

the friend you met a decade ago, saw yesterday

spending forty-five minutes pretending the desk doesn’t exist

pretending you don’t have to listen to the voice-mails, or answer the emails

spending your clocked in hours on something to take your mind away from it

only to repeat the action, next week, same time, same place, same friend

across the street at noon

East Ave

Part 1 of 5

By Dan Leicht

At two o’ clock the door closed. The sun set hours ago, before Charles Splints was even started on the case. The note was slipped under the door to his downtown office after he’d just finished his dinner of rice and coffee. All that was on the note was an address, he sighed and placed it into the coat pocket of his dark brown trench coat. He’d need a drink.  Read more ›

Starting with the cover?

Posted on by admin — 6 Comments ↓

Do you ever get an idea for a cover before the story? This just happened to me, and i’m hoping the story is going to come along soon enough — even though this makes side project #…? — but i’m just wondering if this ever happens to others when thinking of new projects. There have been plenty of times where just making the cover (or some version of it) can be used to motivate me to finish the stories — used this for the Black Coffee series and would make the covers my phone background to keep me on track. Any others find this to be a motivating technique?

Finding A New Author – #MichaelCrichton #AmReading / @Deeliopunk

The best part about finding a new author to read is you have a whooooole lot of books to catch up on. That’s how I felt when I was given Sphere by author Michael Crichton. I read it in a few days, then bought Prey, read that in a couple days, then bought The Terminal Man…  (I know libraries are a thing… but feel like I’d like to own all his books, since they’re really really good!).

His books have a level of suspense that keep me flipping pages like a mad man. Like in Prey (possible spoiler) when the nano cloud makes its looming presence you just get so nervous for everyone outside – get into the shed!!!!! Or in Sphere whenever “Jerry” spoke on the computer in that childish manner, I found myself looking forward to those pages because it was just so creepy to see… were they going to upset Jerry or was he a nice guy?

What are some of your favorite Michael Crichton books? Eventually i’d like to read them all! The books also go really good with coffee…. (fyi)

And look what came!
