 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another writing stream with my homie Chad Lutsky We are currently in the process of writing a collaborative novel called Planet Caravan We are I don't even know I haven't even asked how how far along we I we got to be close to we got to be over 50k at this point, right? Well, we keep we keep getting to 50 and then we keep dropping down. Yeah Because reason I've been so in my own head lately I am basically just going through the motions here and this is This is when I would normally word bomb it just to get it over with and then come back and rewrite The problem is Chad is having to clean this up as I go along So I'm trying to do less of that at the same time. I Don't know how to stop at this point. I don't know if the most recent stuff is better I don't think it is but it's I'm trying But I am now 100% back on this project Everything else is done or in stasis until the until editing is done So and all of my the entire 31 days of Halloween are shot and uploaded So I don't have to worry about that anymore 100% back on this so hopefully I can get my head back in the game this weekend I plan on reading I plan is the operative word allegedly I'm going to be reading the entire thing from the ground up just to refresh my memory of everything that's going on Hopefully get back into the swing of things me and Chad had some discussions about the main character I had one thought in mind for the way he reacts to certain things Chad had another and since I don't care We're just gonna go with what Chad had It's more along the lines of consistency of character and character acceptance and motivation and so on and so forth so We were talking about that off off camera, and I have a lot to read he did one two three four five six seven eight nine he did nine pages and I need to read through all of that before I take my break and then come back and start work again, so Is there anything else I need to say I don't think so Also, I had to take a I didn't even tell you this I was gonna tell you this it was such a rough day yesterday I woke up this morning and my heart was pounding and my brain was all over the place And the only reason I got to sleep last night because I had a gummy and I Did I had to take a anti-anxiety Pill this morning because as soon as I woke up I was having a fucking panic attack In fact, I think that's what woke me up. I'm woke up gasping and out of breath That's with my damn CPAP on my face like I was being chased or some shit and So I'm I'm a little bit out of it this morning But I'm trying to hone in and especially once I get in here and start writing I should be fine because I can take my mind off the bullshit and I can escape into a change world for a bit But anyways So I'm gonna get I'm gonna get started reading is there anything you want to talk about in front of the oh hang on the The reason for this I know I know this is episode 31 or whatever episode 32 It's episode 32, but the whole point of this series is to show the behind the scenes How we how we are doing our collab that does not mean that all collabs happen this way But just to show you guys how a collaborative effort will you know come out in the end or how we go about you know Talking things out problems all that stuff Another thing these streams are for is just for you guys to chill and hang out Some odd reason people find it very comforting to sit and listen to us type and talk So I find that awesome, but also if you want to get your own work done your own writing your own art your own whatever While you're working with us. We give you a chill Session so you can get that your own stuff that Any I'm gonna go ahead and jump over here and start reading. Oh, I was gonna do something with this I don't know it's cool that you left it I was gonna do something with this about his hands and I can't remember what the hell it was That he only he didn't wash them off. He just wiped them off. I was gonna do it. We already wrote it. It's right up above What is it you and you wrote it again? Right here, there's a dingy blue cloth streaked with grime over shoulder. He took it off tossed to me I clean the grease off my hands best I can and toss the wrap brag back Yeah, but I was gonna do something about his About about the gris grease being on his hands and I can't remember what it was like later that day I was gonna do something and I can't remember Anyways, I guess I don't guess it matters. So I repeated myself. That's wonderful That's why I saved the cloth instead of Yeah describing it right I got you Actually might even have to take that out because you just got done cleaning Maybe I don't know one of them has got to go if I repeated it then Well, we work on the wheel for the better part of the morning. So they go back out So maybe not okay, I Mean you only grease the wheel once and the gondolas do not require Greasing it's all internal. It's kind of like a car engine probably. There's no sense in having this probably just Yeah, just get rid of whichever one you want Oh, you took out my porter house Joe. God damn it That Because I I got confused I did this on live stream. I was like, I don't care. So I Because when I hear the words when I hear Sydney spelt like that I think of Sydney poitier that it yeah, and and so I'm thinking but I've never heard of Sydney So I I Google it I Did this I did this I got to find out more about this guy find out what his voice sounds like, you know Oh, that's brilliant. Oh, that's that's fucking hilarious. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for laughing at you But that was that's that's fine. That's fine. Oh my god. That's hilarious. So I was like, you know what? He's talking about. He's yeah, I'm talking about Sydney poitier Which I think I spelled wrong No, I think it's No, yeah, it's spelt right. Okay. Po R T I E R. I think I meant it's his first name. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay Yeah, no, it's definitely not a Y instead of an I All right Arregal Beagle. I like that Do you know what that is? I Very vaguely. Okay It is the first of all, that's the name of my camper. That's the name I gave by we own a Yeah, a camper. Okay, and I Need The regal beagle is the name of the bar that Everybody frequents in Threes Company. Oh, that's where I know it from because that's one of my favorite shows of all time We were talking about this at one point time We were talking about Farley and all that stuff and when I think of Mingo. I also think of Larry Yeah, from Threes Company. Mm-hmm. I know I vibe with it. We've talked about this chest hair Gold chain. Yeah, yeah, minimizing, you know. Oh, yeah, 100% and if that'd be cool to give me Yeah, it's cool. I like it. Yeah, I remember I remember that that's that's where I know it from I was like, I know I've heard it before and that's why I've heard it before is Threes Company Let's still watch that show. I got the DVDs And he said if I come across it like if I'm scrolling through something and I'll see it like on Let's just say Hulu, you know that kind of thing because I don't have regular TV or cable or anything If I come across it, I will sit down and watch my favorite episodes I will 100% watch it any time I see it another one that is super for the longest time It was like number two under Howard the Duck for me and that was Stay Tuned It's called what? Stay Tuned? Stay tuned. It's about John Ritter and his family being sucked into the TV And he goes from game shows to westerns to all Anyway, don't get that shit stuck in my head. I'll be singing it all day. Anyways but uh, yeah, the Stay Tuned is absolutely amazing and it's He gets sucked into an alternate reality kind of TV thing. So instead of like leave it to beaver It's like leave it to Satan kind of deal. It's it's it's very quick. It's very quirky and weird and And you you've got to watch it. I believe it's on to be I believe it I have it saved on to be you got to check it out. It's called Stay Tuned. It's one of John Ritter's Best movies in my opinion, but you also have to realize that it is on the same tier as Howard the Duck Okay, for me like it is that wacky and wild and over the top that I love it with my entire heart Yeah, I'm not a fan. So I make not like state. I love John Ritter, but it's because I love Jack Ritter or Jeff I love John Ritter because it's because but it's because I love Jack Tripper. Yeah, I got you I literally You probably cut it out. Maybe you didn't I literally had this conversation with him and Carla The under what under the table meant. I saw it later. Yeah Just funny that you thought to put it in here I had put that in there and then I saw that your thing in there and I was like well I'll either leave the one that I just put or I will have him ask the question later since it's brought up again Did you just throw a semi-colon here? No, I did not I changed I was literally changing. Oh, that's it. That's supposed to be tea You probably hit that and said or not. I don't know. I didn't put that there. No, do you use semi-colons? Not with you. I Haven't used colons either just because the stuff that you said earlier in This in this process Okay, I didn't leave a comment here this this different colored section. Yeah, that's what I'm reading I didn't I didn't change this because It's what you said in the other one was him getting a raise already. That's because the Operators are one tier above the Rousties But actually they're pretty far up there. They're even above the concession stand people. So in fact It's probably still too little for Running a running a ride by yourself And that is now his ride, especially since boobs is going to be training him to work on it It is it is now his ride and his entire responsibility. So there would be a pay raise there Or maybe we could do it probationary. I don't know. Whatever you want to do Probationary period makes sense because I would assume that that Because me Mingo takes people in so easily I Could see him getting screwed over a lot. So he never knows who's gonna truly work out or not gotcha All right, so let me do this. Let me do this We need to cut this too, right because he didn't tell him how much The two dollars oh oh Shane my boy. I promise you gum. He's making more than two bucks an hour buzz only gave you that so we could cut this bit Because you cut out the him him telling Mingo that see but that's that's kind of what I was talking about that that Uncertainty and that that hiding is kind of what I was talking about like how Shane flip-flops, you know, sometimes he is he's aggressive and That kind of well not aggressive, but he stands up for himself and other times he just kind of you know Kind of backs away and maybe it's because he's aggressive to the people that Do not respect do not respect him or do not like him like buzzard but with someone like Mingo He's willing to take a step back that kind of thing. I don't know but uh a A parenthetical from Chad Lutz key you just want to do that because I Wanted to put it a small reminder in there Because from now on it'll just be the regal beagle. Okay. I felt like it maybe needed that You know from so from now on no more his trailer. It'll be like the beagle or the regal beagle I got you so the parenthetical is like hitherto referred to as without saying all that shit. Yes Yep, I think that some of this early dialogue I think we need to work on her dialogue because it gets a little bit more broken as it goes on because I kind of followed your lead I realized okay. He's shaking this up a little bit But when she first starts talking and she doesn't really it's not right right. She's becoming more comfortable with him I was actually gonna tackle that at some point, but now that she's gets snatched, you know, right after this kind of thing I didn't have a chance to but I was going to lean into the fact that you know The more comfortable she gets with him the more her her accent and her Burby it's changes She'll drop more Spanish and so on and so forth. I was actually honestly. I was actually expecting you to want to cut all of it and just go with with none of it but Once again, I'm not I'm not cemented to it. I was just kind of cash not casually but naturally going with the With the witch McAuliffe it makes sense it makes sense to put in words that That your average person probably knows or can figure it out. I didn't I want to alienate Yeah, I didn't want to do a good be no glacies thing where I know Yeah, we have a bunch of stuff in here, but things like paragraphs in Spanish that have no translation. Yeah I'll see how much he kept I'm going. Ah, you took out my done done done done done after learning about after learning about The fact that almost everybody over where she's from is Mayan in my head that circle Is from some Mayan thing and then she ripped it off when she moved to the States and now she's yeah So not not only that but it could be you know, she doesn't want to get pulled over and you know, whatever Yeah, I wanted I was thought about using I I mean I've been using the word little in here And I thought about using what is it? Pequeño, no pequito Okay, well something small cameo is small well one of them's little one of them small It depends on the whether it's masculine or female, right? But there's a word for small and then there and then there's a word for little and they're two different words pequeño is one of them Okay, yeah, but I didn't want to again. I didn't want to I Wanted more of a hint there rather than something cool. I don't know what he's I don't know what she's saying I think everybody knows what Pendejo is. Yeah, this part after she starts laughing is where she starts to sound Spanish like like like you like you wound too tight That's when what that's when her English starts becoming broken Yeah, and then in another draft will go up and match her earlier dialogue with with that I like that and instead of calling. I mean she also naturally instead goes from like young buck Yeah, she still sprinkles it in there, but now it's like mi jamano. Also, you know, it's like you're not just young buck You're like my brother Kind of deal the closer they get and I hope you caught I haven't got to any of it But whenever she says it's it is she just says is I don't know if you cut that or not. That wasn't a typo. I wasn't sure if you're gonna catch that or not I'm sure I left it because I Yeah, that broken English or whatever. Yeah She's just more comfortable with him. That's the way I was going with it and it's cool that you that you followed along that That's awesome five or nine times What five or nine times? Yeah I the buddy used to do that he would be like, you know, seven or fifteen times something like that It reminds me. Have you ever seen that movie? What's that movie called? Is it called base get ball? Yes? I've seen it. Oh my god There's a scene where I can't remember. I've only seen it once but I laughed so hard. There's a scene where somebody is Doing something to somebody else like I don't know if they're hitting them in the head or whatever They're like if you do that 19 or 20 more times. I'm I'm quitting the team or whatever And so when I see something like this five or nine Jenny Jenny McCarthy in that movie is so underrated the the shit that they have her doing like I bet you Could suck a golf ball through a garden hose and she's trying and I bet you could lick the chrome off a trailer hitch And she's doing it every single time I that that movie just oh Have you ever seen orgasmo? Yeah. Oh my god, dude that that one. Yeah, that's not yeah My favorite bits are with I could not trade but the other Matt. Yeah, I think it is when he's like That's so gay or nothing, but it's totally gay Yeah, there's no gay or anything, but I really want to suck your dick I love that fucking movie so much. I'm not a big South Park fan, but I really did like orgasmo and I Like team America to all their movies are great. All their movies America Yeah That was funny even cannibal the musical was yes. Yeah, that's another one. Yeah, that was like their first one, wasn't it? It was a trauma movie though Really? I that I didn't know I don't know if we should cut this enough. Yeah, maybe not I I can I don't know probably because I wrote it but I was gonna say I like this one better than Yeah, I'm gonna scroll up and get rid of uh Yeah, there's no explanation about the man up above. I just I just said where he's good Damn good for under the table. It's funny because when you put uno mas uno mas I'm like at one point in here. I'm like, I've got to I've got to do the uno mas thing And then I saw you put it in there. I was like, okay, you already did it. Yep Okay, dammit. I thought I did that Okay, never mind. Um, I just realized I never went back and changed it um The I I had her say hey zoos and then him say hey zoos also Instead of having her say it the you know spell it the right way whatever. Anyway, you think you fixed it I just I just forgot you had it This they was so I did go about I did you had her say you had her say That you put the word uh, hey zoos how it's spelled right, but then you had him say His name was hey zoos. He he says it wrong or he says it right but in his head It's wrong. It's so she didn't she didn't write out. Hey zoos the first time because okay, so I must have went back and fixed it Okay, next chapter Oh Much better God damn mickey got that mucaki. Okay. Jesus little details. I like How about just I a vote I avoid the question instead of I try and Yeah, oh a sweet I'm excited about how many Rocks he got in the can Yeah, I was wondering I was literally reading that Okay Trying to figure out how to how to reword it you Wonder if it's pink when it comes out. Oh, that's sneaky. Good one Oh I love this the way he guesses all the all the names of the of the people he's closest with It's really good himself and shibby's and Bruce That's good boobies I put I threw the love you Cassidy in there because um The next phone call I why I thought it would be cool to have um Cassidy say You're not coming back. Are you and he's like I didn't say that. He's like you told me you love me. Yeah Yeah, that's that's good. I like that Like so you picture Cassidy thinking this whole time. Why did he say that? Yeah, he never says that gives Cassidy a lot more credit a lot more intelligence. Yeah, okay. All right. Um So what do we need to do next? Um I'm excited I don't know. I stopped there. I don't even know what this section is The next section is jumping into Wait a second Oh, that's right. We've got to have We don't have um We've got to have a um Like he hasn't actually worked the um, he hasn't done anything yet Like the the fair or the carnival has not been Open they got there We've been writing some stuff out of order. So I'm a little confused Yeah, there's a whole section missing where Hang on so we need a glue section To get to the point where the raid begins Yeah, like at least one or two chapters. I think we've done well with um The camaraderie between the the relationship that's starting to be established with carla and the fact that it'll be heartbreaking to see her go Uh particularly because they're for her family and but they haven't I mean Yeah, because we went back in time to build up the relationship and now we need to Now we need to have a night where Because they're opening tonight, right? Right. Yeah, they're they open the day that they get there Yes, they well it all it actually all depends sometimes it'll be like the day before and they'll have a downtime Um, but uh all these rides and everything can be up within hours So, uh, it's not that big of a deal to to get the things put up um But uh, I mean we can have another day where they they we could even We can make it two days. I mean it all depends if we need extra time Um Whatever it takes if you want to think about it while i'm on break because I gotta I gotta I gotta get out of this chair Um, but uh, if you want to think about it, and I'll think about it too. So all right. I'll be back in 15 Okay, so here's my idea right off the jump. What if we just do a simple Time jump into the next day Have him go back then get back him be exhausted because he's already spent all morning working. He's gone into town Everything in mingo says. All right, we're gonna open in a little while go ahead and catch your z's or whatever And uh, then we can just jump into Either the next day or a short scene where he does clean up after the fair Not fair. You got me saying fair now too. I'm after the carnival closes Um, something like that. I don't know that's that's my only idea I was even thinking about having some kind of confrontation where buzz Gives him shit and carla comes to his rescue this time Or something. Um, and it was not even like it shows, you know, carla just like uh, and i'm not sure I even like this but More along the lines of just getting him out of a sticky situation with buzz is like Hey, come help me with this over here and you know, just pulls him away from buzz Before something can escalate. I don't know those are my two ideas Okay The idea I had was uh that we move the baseball card scene where uh Mingo says you can't stay here tonight And we move that up to uh Today You know when they get back from the store and stuff, you know And so because we've got to really establish Um, this would be a good opportunity because they're not doing anything They're kind of on and so we need to I think we needed to use that to Uh, really develop this relationship between Shane and sam And so have them kind of like do a Uh, romantic platonic Or should I say non-sexual Romantic evening Out under the stars they talk about the day tomorrow. Are you scared? blah blah blah whatever whatever the conversation leads to and they just ended up end up staying outside Um By themselves, you know, because he he has to go he he can't go back there. Anyway, he's not sure he's like Well, I could sleep in the in the in the cab In the truck cab, but you know, they just end up I mean, it's a little reminiscent of uh The scene in foster homes and flies where sam does the same thing with a boy much younger than her But there was no, you know, there's no love thing it was just like this is an older female Emotionally being here for a broken boy who wants to tell her my mom is dead and I haven't done anything about it um Well, do you do you want to write that section and I can carry on doing something else? I don't know Yeah, you're all caught up now. So we can write a new scene. Well, not really There's a lot here that I haven't um I mean up and well, yeah, but I'm saying really up until the I don't know And uh, there's in sinker chapter hook line Oh, no, no, no all that stuff's probably going flat all that stuff's probably going away because that all that whole section is Venus the strong woman and I've the only reason I've kept it there is because Um, I'm probably going to use it for something else So I can go and pull this out. I also think that we shouldn't be afraid to I was thinking about this the other day to almost write like to help pass the time and to help establish um little relationships and things and just things that he experiences almost in a like a vignette form Kind of like skull face boy where it's like let's drop this thing in here. Let's Drop this thing in here where it's not really everything is it's still linear but not super connected That's like uh, like a montage almost like a this little short story this little flash. Yeah, that's flash fiction That's kind of what I figured the middle of this was going to be anyways Um, but we just haven't got to that point yet that that kind of spontaneous You know him just kind of bouncing around and experiencing this just a bunch of slice of life stuff Um, what it's like at the carnival so on and so forth Um, oh, it's just some extent. I didn't realize I just how caught up. I was I didn't realize that Yeah, you're you're up there because I forgot we moved way up. Yeah, I still I thought I had all this stuff to No, no Um, I'm trying to think of what to call I guess cannibalized Put it in my cannibal form folder. Oh shoot. Well, cool. Wow. We're okay. We're Dang, I didn't know that Save that I'll probably end up putting that in my other project at some point in time. Oh cool. I am Totally caught up all the way to later chapters Yep That's what I was saying. Yeah, no idea. Yep Well, except let's see. What is it? What was this one? I definitely have to spend that's right. I got to spend this weekend reading this rereading this whole thing because of the way we're Copy and pasting and moving around and having new things. Um, I definitely got to get I thought it would be a good idea too You know, hopefully we'll have This done this month, you know before november so that we can focus on our individual nano things Get this out of her mind out of her and then you know, just come december Whether it be december 1st mid december, whatever I don't know. I know you usually probably Wait longer than that Um, I usually start on my second third drafts like yeah, but I wait day after day I wait longer than that because I let I want to give myself time to forget what I've written and So far, I mean everything has changed so much that it doesn't matter Um, we can go back to it in december for our second draft, you know get a Out of our heads while we're working on other stuff. And then hopefully by um The end of the year maybe um You know have this emailed out. Yeah, definitely and I'm throwing together All right, so I can be here monday, but I can't be here tuesday because I have a doctor's appointment so um I can't remember. Did you Did you settle on a name that you're using? No, not yet. I need to do that. Um Let's see here What am I doing? What am I doing? Yeah, ninth Create live stream Go ahead and get this before I fucking forget about it since we're gonna be off all weekend All right. Well, I'm a lot less stressed out. I didn't realize that I was all caught up Oh, yeah, you're that's what I was I was wondering. I was like, dude, you're uh I thought I had like four more four or five more chapters. No I yeah, because because I forgot that we had moved way up Okay, so Phone call Oh, no, I didn't do that right go back to stream yard So we need a bridge A big bridge. Yeah To reach from the phone call to Carla's Olegal abduction viewer Monday stream is on its way to you and I'm gonna jump back in here We could also introduce the library instead of them being out under the stars We could have her finally introduce uh show him the library Her books We could I'm sorry, man. What were you saying? Yeah, that's fine. I understand you're working. Um, but uh This could be an opportunity to introduce the library and the book Um Yeah, for sure. Yes, for sure. Yeah, great. Uh, that girl and Ellen po talk. Yep Yeah, good idea Because we definitely got to get into that we got to start building that up because we ain't got much left We got the next phone call and then we have the denouement or denouement. What are the fuck it's called? I like that. All right, so you're talking about, um Let's see here. You can't sleep here tonight, kid. That's uh Yeah, we can do the we can literally Take the all in good fun chapter Which is what well, hang on here. No, no, that's after Carly gets snatched. I'm trying to think of where I guess it's the everyday is payday but That's when he does that's when it's halfway through that Um that he starts talking about he can't sleep there It's literally Check out where my Um cursor is so we would have to split this chapter in two Um Okay, hang on. What why do you you were you were talking about bringing up the section With uh, oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I see what you're saying. Yeah, so it would have to split We would have to we would have to really Tear apart this this section because he's standing there All right, hang on. It's after he comes out after the in the confrontation with buzz Yeah, um So we would need a Okay, I don't know. I don't know of all the work to put into this Because it's all mixed up with things that have happened things that But Yeah, I don't know dude. Maybe it would be easier just to do a bridge section like I was saying, you know, he goes back He's exhausted mingo says, you know, it's you can you can chill now You're off or whatever and then go into the next day And then start the next day with the raid Um him back over there at the At the ferris wheel Then go into the raid um And then in the next chapter Well in the next bit Basically, just keep everything the way it is and just write a whole new bridge Um between down in the dark and uh, what is this the first call Those two chapters before it says bridge to carla's legal abduction Dain Dainuma Really? Dainuma and denownment dainuma Dainuma See if it was me, I would just start writing and fix it in post, but that's I know that's not how you work. So Um, well, I I do Dude, I did something. I think I've told you this before Uh, there's been maybe three or four books I've written where I get halfway through I think of the last paragraph and I write the first paragraph Well, um, this thing that I'm doing for nano rhymo I got this great idea and I've been kind of Mapping it out a little bit taking notes not doing it on an outline But taking some notes and uh, I'm considering doing an actual outline because I'm going to try to Not edit as I go. I'm just gonna try to get it out for the and I'm gonna push real hard for that to see if I can start doing that cool, um But I wrote the last two lines of the book Um, which is you know a word hasn't been written And I know that there is another author that I think it's king talks about Or maybe it's lansdale talks about somebody does that John Irving John Irving writes. Yeah, he knows the last line before he does anything and then he works backward But I I did that um, and I like I said I've done that before but I had half at least half the book written But I didn't and I wrote the last two lines cool But I don't know what made me think that oh So I do I know I I do um work like this is just that It's been like, you know all over the place for so long and suddenly it's like oh, we're all caught up And then it's like no, we're not so I kind of wanted to fix this before okay It's it's fine. Whatever. Hey h-mail. How you doing? I just think that the there's a great opportunity here for this evening of the they're not too Too important to skip over because it's not really about the oh, no, no, no I agree with you. I'm just thinking it should be down it. We should leave everything the way it is and then you know And then add that literally go right into that section after the very last line down here that says with that He turns and walks off toward the tall woman And jump to him like going to get in the cab and whatever trying to sleep and sam comes over and is like um They they start talking or whatever and he he could he could even be a little more assertive than he normally is And he said so what's this about your library? You know that kind of thing You know, I like I like to read and mingo mentioned it and you know, it's gonna be like, yeah, sure Whatever, you know, and then that could that could start okay, so So at the point where he says okay this transition where he says All's clear on the western front Which is the transition into the library. Yeah, okay If we could Have Move that up in here like what would what would be another reason why he would say all's clear Like mingo could say, you know, buzz mess with the all today or has he messed with you today at all or Um Okay, so you're saying from from that point from that point We can um Because I don't know that he Okay, I I have a I have a wild I have a wild Name so up here Ah See her right at the place where you said a bridge to carla's legal abduction I say the only thing we do is we go from Uh, I hang up the phone and suddenly it's one of the worst days of my life We go from that and this is kind of like a lutzki move anyways It would be you know, just jumping into the next scene without telling you what happened the rest of the day Uh, literally, uh The next morning Kay and uh, yeah, but the what i'm saying dude is would they have a whole We're missing out on this giant window where him and Like what like I would like he's not like in love, but he's like at this point He's enjoying his thing, but if they've got nothing going on there's going to be this giant missing window of where They're kind of like Shane the story of Shane and sam are kind of like center stage And I don't know. I just feel like it's a missed opportunity if we don't have that night Well, she would be the the thing is she would be busy This night with her own, you know build up unless you want a whole other day To pass before the the carnival opens She would be busy because she's got to be her her ride's fixed her ride is you know put together She would be busy with that and then afterwards. She's got to do maintenance There's other things she has to do turn in tickets. So she's going to be busy This night unless you want to add in something to where there's a whole other day But then we're gonna have to go back and change all the stuff is like where we open at five Okay, so let's okay They got up at what was it 9 a.m There's sunlight. It was early. Uh, I keep mentioning that Shane doesn't have a watch So he doesn't know what time it is. He has no basis for time or anything. It's like literally it's just like where the sun is They're right, you know, okay, so they Put he puts together the ferris wheel For the next three or four hours. Yeah, and then he goes on the run with Carla. She goes. Yeah, whereas Sam is is left behind. She she is doing her thing. Right. I mean how many hours So you don't think that by Eight o'clock nine o'clock at night that she's got the rest of the night off to If as long as they don't as long as they're not open that first night, right, they're not Okay, so you want it. All right. Um, yeah, I mean it's I That's that's fine. I was just the uh, the order of operations here is Really, I I'm just I'm just scrolling through it and there's a lot of stuff As I was I see where you're talking about where you wanting to cut it and bring that up um And I don't really have an issue with it. It just feels like it's gonna be a lot of A lot of work to Change the order of operations Okay. All right. So you take all's clear on the western front. You put it up where you want it. Um And how we get there is It's literally, you know I'm trying to think okay, so they're not open. See now now i'm a bit overwhelmed with the time frame So give me just a second to process because i'm seeing I'm seeing something. Okay, so It goes from Carla To coming back and having the night free with sam And then they could do something like your night under the stars and then We go to the next night and after they get done working is when she shows in the library We could do something like that. You can literally jump from You know, it's like sam could come over and ask him when he gets back Uh, hey mingo Mingo, have you doing anything now? Because i'm you know, it's like no he's like, well, i'm done with my stuff. Do you want to just go hang out? I don't know something like that. Um, and that would give us two Character that relationship building Uh one before that's a little shorter and then another one where she actually like she she comes to terms with How much she is liking him in the end of the stars moment, but then no No, I'd stop. I just realized something I I was gonna make it all this work, but it doesn't make sense now because of the the box scene Because the box scene that's that's kind of what I was this kind of what i was getting at it was too much work to If that that tension, you know, like the first kiss and thing and and which um yeah That's pretty much what I was getting at with it's gonna be a lot of work to split that up and then have Another moment where they come so close in the box I I don't I don't know that's fine. Okay, uh, so All right, so all we need to come up with is what's oh fucking hell dude car No, that wouldn't be that night. I was about to say it's we can do karla's Sending off party, but no, that's not that night. Never mind See the order of operations is already overwhelming. Anyways, okay, so everything's in place. We're gonna keep everything in place um We just need like what what we should probably Have a little bit of fill about like what? happened that day Would you would you think that? That the whole place is going to be um Would they be able to have this up and running with lights going? The same day that they got because they got there like early morning. Yeah 100% They could be open by like five or six, but we do not have to do that. Um, they're I didn't want to open I was just wondering we could have a scene where um They flick the lights It's this magical moment for Shane he saw it before but he saw it when it was loud and Yeah, when it was already in progress and this one is like and now he's been a part of this This is something that he helped build. Yeah, I like kind of like this, you know This thing Come to life that that he has a whole different perspective on now. Yeah, it's quiet He could even be focused on like when everything comes alive and they're testing everything because they do test everything When the ferris wheel comes alive. It's like I did that. I made that happen I had help of course, but I did that and be a moment of you know That that feeling like when you get off when you get done with a long hard day's work And you just feel really fucking good no matter how exhausted you are because you feel like you accomplish something That feeling maybe have sam come up grab his hand and put her chin on his shoulder And then she'll she'll instigate and say see what you did Oh, yeah, then he's like she's right. That's that's that's on you do that I want I want I want let's get it right that that's good. That's good. Shit. I like that Now I just got to figure out what the fuck I'm gonna do for the next hour basically um I could start some kind of quick, you know Montage section where he's just going around. I just don't know what what to do um It's like, I don't know Yeah, it's hard because it's not really that kind of a book The two sections that I want you to write are the only things that need to be written today Which is that moment the chin on the shoulder because I think you would absolutely fucking nail that. I'm not great with romance. I never have been Um There and then the scene with the library. I think you would absolutely fucking nail too. So that's another thing So I don't Yeah, I don't know. Um I mean I could try the library scene, but I think you got your feet firmly planted in that Um and same with the other the other scene that you just mentioned, you know, you did that and that's that's beautiful That's a beautiful fucking scene The one thing that we have, um That also make for a cool book cover. Just this kid standing in the middle of this Kind of looking up At this with the with the girl chin on the shoulder or he's alone. I think or whatever either one Yeah, just the yeah gazing up at the ferris wheel Um, you got to have a ferris wheel on a cover of a book like this. You have that's there's no ifs ands or buts about it You've got to it's the staple the only thing that's not done from our little outline Which we probably should throw a little more things in our outline is Shane makes friends with boobs Learns about him and they seem to hit it off. Oh, I could do that I could do something where boobs helps them do the maintenance. I could do that scene I just need it that this is this is why I worry about just like sitting down and starting writing on this project because I could go so many different places yeah So much freedom if you wanted to Jump ahead to like well, what what what Did you leave all your venus stuff here? Is that I mean I have a copy and paste it in a cannibal file so I could put it back but Venus that I don't know if it fits because there's no other performers in this carnival. It's all been concession stands and rides Um and and games so there's not been any performers But I could do something like a one-off with the you know something where Uh, the guy who runs the guess your weight You know stand comes into play or any number there's so many characters that is there anybody that After that moment where the lights go on and they're testing things and and Shane's having this wonderful magical moment Is there anywhere where you know, he can walk around and look at all the things there's anybody who's got him Who would be rehearsing their their gig it definitely that well there there would be um The concession stand folks usually it's it's one of those things another thing with the hierarchy like the groups Like all the concession stand people hang out together all the own all the operators hang out together Uh, all the roustabouts all hang out together that kind of thing So he could like go you know like be a fish out of water in like the concession stand stuff when they're They could literally be talking about you know Uh new ways of getting over on route There's all different kinds of stuff that we can do where they would be practicing their spills Or any number of things whoever runs the fun house is going to be a barker too They're going to be standing out there, you know hollering out. Hey this You know trying to get people to come in come on come on ladies and gentlemen This is the scariest thing you've ever going to be on that kind of thing because I think it'll be a good Organic way to introduce the band so to speak. Yeah, you know He has this moment where he's kind of walking around and finally he's you know He's he's seeing people behind the curtain so to speak Do their thing and that also kind of introduces You know some more characters and just uh Which would essentially be like a montage like he sees venus Doing her thing which is what's her thing again? Uh, she's a strong woman. Um, so it was all about her being You know her her doing the the whole scene starts with but this is back when Shane didn't really have a purpose for us in the carnival like we now know that he's part of the bumper cars And all that stuff and how that's going to go and putting together the thing It was more like he was still bouncing around at this point That's why I got rid of it because it opens up with mingo giving him a test exercise of trust Where he has him go around and collect the fees from everybody And that's how he bumps into venus. Um, and there's there's that whole thing Um, but I'm not sure But he's this magical moment. He still isn't the bumper car kid. This is true. This is true. Um, but I Yeah, so I mean But I don't I don't know. Um, I would like to do something with the guess your weight guy because I had a very funny experience With a guess your weight guy and I was going to I was going to use that um, he he got he got one number off and Come to find out that the motherfucker had a scale in the straw Like it was like a plank that you would stand on and the fucking thing and you could literally see the numbers If I just happened to look up and you could see the numbers in the reflection of the not hot dog It was the lemonade Concession behind him you could see the numbers going but I felt like I was just standing on straw And he had something in there and he was and then when he did call it He was only one number off so he purposefully changed the number So that you know, he'd be close enough But there's also, uh another one of my favorite ones is guessing how many marbles are in the jar It's a really simple game. Uh, I'm you might be aware of it already But it's just a jar with marbles or jelly beans and it's whoever gets whoever gets the number Wins the wins whatever big fucking prize they have Um, but uh, we could do something like that. There's all these little things, but I don't think a performer fits in with this carnival I think this is more of a Uh, one of those situations where the only barkers that we're going to have are the uh, the game Barkers, maybe the fun house barker Maybe the because also back then not so much nowadays because it's all digitalized with like machines doing this But to test your strength machine Um, the uh, the guess your weight the uh, what about dunk machine that I mean we can do that too I mean that's that's very the only thing is I would like to like go back and this of course is like post work But I would like to go back and add that, you know earlier like he you know points out that that thing is a thing that exists Um, but yeah, the I have experience with that one too. It was at a ren fair Oddly enough with the it was a dunk machine And it was tomatoes you got to you had three choices There were two targets and then the face in the middle And you could either hit the targets and drop them now to try to hit them in the face with the tomatoes Because he was also a really bad comedian telling jokes and talking shit about you while you're trying to throw it Um, so we could do something like that Uh, but there's that's the beauty about this. There's so many options. Hey, Sean. How you doing? Um, there is so many options to do here and this is the exciting part where we just we just have to figure We just have to pick and choose What what's going on here, you know, um, but with southern southern carnivals Uh, I have noticed that they do not have performers Um, they they tend to only have the concessions that and then what they'll have instead of the performers is They will hire a local band to play on stage Um, so we could even have something with that. I don't know. Um, but Yeah, would it be would it be too silly? to To have in the dunk tank Maybe even the errands into town could could deal with this like They go to a local fish place or whatever they buy A certain type of fish, uh, maybe the cheap fish like, uh, goldfish You don't get much cheaper than that Right, or minnows or guppies or something, but something bigger to wear and then the whole attraction for the dunk tank is You know, there are deadly piranha and And there's just these normal fish swimming around me completely non-threatening That's that's got it's got paintings like maybe of a guy going like this and He's got blood around his feet and I love it. I love it. Yeah, let's do something like that That's goofy to sell a little bit That's just that's just fun. It's not really goofy or silly, but that's that's that's the kind of thing that's fun Um, you know like coming to find out that you know the lizard the the lizard mummy in the uh in the In the freak show walkthrough is just you know a baby doll sewn With you know a taxidermied like fish or something or whatever that's the that's the kind of silliness. I like So that's like I said that's up to you because I'm more I'm more along the lines of adding stuff like that Then you are so are you comfortable with that level of silly if you want to I think that's I think that's a fantastic fucking idea Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I'm just trying to think about fish that because a guppy or a minnow It's just it's so obvious. Well, here we go Sheep pet store fish Or we could just call it a different, you know cousin to the piranha You know it's redded whatever and it's some made up fish. Yeah And then um mingo looks at the tank maybe and he's like He'll be like he'll say a single goldfish in there and be like dammit Because you know like when they get the net and there maybe they're swimming in the tank with goldfish And they happen to grab a goldfish at the same time And so they've got they've got this goldfish in there that would clearly be eaten if these fish were so dead Right exactly uh Now do you want to do you want to set that up like him and carla? Uh, just like a line or like carla is like Okay, now we got to go get the fish and he's like what for like a fish fry or something He's like no no no we need fish for the dunk tank It's like the hell and then they just end up at a local pet store buying fucking goldfish or whatever I can't that for some odd reason the only thing coming up for cheap pet store fish is our betas and I know those are not Fucking cheap So what is the chip cheapest fish? We have barbs uh Tetras sword tails molly fish algae eaters beta betas are in the Top 10 budget friendly fridge. I thought betas were like a hundred dollars No I could have swore they were like upper tier or shit. They're they're also one of those I mean you can get those no idea beta and goldfish you can win At carnivals like though really okay. Yeah, I've never seen that death bike guppies Uh, they could if you catch a bunch of sunfish Wherever they are set up. They just have to go to a pond It's interesting Sun yeah, uh, yeah, something like bluegill sunfish Crappies, but that that involves Yeah fishing all day At a at a prime spot So I don't think that would betas are like eight bucks dude. I am so out of the loop when it comes to fucking like keeping fish Hey, when I was a kid, I I remember, you know, goldfish were like two or three dollars And uh betas were I I swear I swear I knew someone with betas and it was like it's like a hundred dollars of fish Maybe that's just a special type of I don't know but uh, they could just be uh They could be minnows, but they they buy so many of them and they just uh, you know, they cousin to the parama cousin to the gar Uh, you know something like that with razor sharp teeth. Yeah Which by themselves are now I'm threatening but get them in a group of 2000 and We're now in the middle of it. I was like this freaking goldfish in there That's so good. That's so good. Okay. So what where do we uh, you're talking about this the the first night Basically, I'm asking what am I what am I doing because you you have two scenes that I personally want you to write um, so Um, what do you want to do with I mean we could have the the fish store We could do the fish store scene or we could just say we did we ran these errands Um I think hang on. Yeah, let's go from uh, that the shoe store to a time jump to like, uh After after the phone call You can be like a few hours later No, or maybe like an hour later uh I don't know or the last stop of the the last stop of our land run is A fish store and I have no idea why we're here that kind of thing I don't know and then see what that comes of that naturally. I don't know. Um, I do like I do like the idea of a Of the whatever fish in this fish tank and Shane having no idea why the fuck they're buying fish Like except for don't I wouldn't emphasize, you know, uh, like we all know he doesn't know what they're doing Yeah, everything he's experiencing is is Brand new to him. He's just kind of a We can have an inner thought about, you know, uh, what the fuck are we gonna do with fish? But You know, and he's getting so many of them. I can't you know, like I can't imagine that All right, it just inner thought not him actually questioning it. It's like he's at this point Can I ask her? Uh, what do we I mean? It seems plausible. It's like, uh, we're on the road. Why are we buying 2 000? Minos, yeah They should go literally like, all right We got one more place to go and they end up at a pet store and she's like, do you have our order? And it's like I'm with uh mingos I'm with mingo's operation. Do you have our order? And and it's like, you know how long it took me to get this? I'm glad you guys called ahead or something like that and it's literally 10 000 minos Like this like one huge like fucking trash bag full of I don't know. Maybe that's too goofy or maybe they don't place an order they go in there Thinking they can grab, you know, a thousand two thousand of these fish and they're like, well, we don't have that And so that maybe they got to make do well. Well, what's that? You know, we'll throw some of those in there too. So okay. Yeah, um, hopefully It's a little dry the humor So hopefully people will find the humor in the fact that there are also goldfish in uh in this tank In the piranha tank Yeah And then like the last line could be like, uh, like what what are we getting these for is like, uh I don't know. It's like they're for the piranha tank or something like I don't I don't know and may This is this thought in his head like, okay, this is must this must be what the piranha eat But I have any I don't I don't know Uh I could have fun with that. I just don't know Hang on Let me let me let me try something if it goes somewhere it goes somewhere if it doesn't it doesn't uh, I'll have this weekend to To goof off So this is gone fishing Really confused the readers like wait, what? They're going fishing I'm gonna be writing directly underneath you. Yeah, I know. I just noticed that Jesus Christ Well, that could be a plot point not a plot point, but dude uh Having some lunch end up over on goodreads Looking through some reviews Check out this two-star review for a wallflower Hopefully The style and editing are horrible The language is very poor in the book lex depth. It feels like a wattpad story written on a phone screen I don't understand why the ratings are so high. There are definitely much better books on the topic Someone got mad Someone was in their feelings over that one. Yeah, Anna Anna Anna needs a coke and a smile. Oh, she lives in germany. Maybe that has something to do with it Yeah, germany didn't like me. That's for damn sure She also two-starred uh, carolina cutness is you Anna, you need some more taste, hun. You need some better taste three stars for the girl next door One star for adam neville's the ritual Fair I haven't read it. I didn't I like the movie, but I don't like neville's writing You if you if you ever want adam neville is responsible for one of the worst audiobooks ever fucking manufactured Ever produced of all time. It's his I almost want to like buy it for you just so you can listen to it it's called the reddening and literally the narrator changes his accent every single time Sometimes it's in like a really bad british accent because it's an american that narrates it. Yeah, sometimes It's a really bad british accent. Sometimes it's like it was a scouse or Uh, it's like scottish or irish. Sometimes it's more welsh. Sometimes it's sometimes it's literally just american accent Like he doesn't even try. There's some characters that anyways It's absolutely terrible and you can hear some production stuff Like, uh, one of the things that audiobook narrators will do is when they make a mistake They'll go Like that to let so you you see the peaks on the editing so you know where to cut and chop and whatnot And there's some of those left in I can't say much because I had life after dane has like one or two of those also um, but that's because She re-uploaded after I already approved. She said hang on. I gotta change some stuff re-uploaded it and then I only listened to what she changed and We ended up with those in there But anyways, they're numerous times like over 10 times you can hear him go And then he'll read the same line over again and in a different in a different way It is the first pass through a I have no idea dude No idea whatsoever, but if you ever get a chance to listen to it Please do because it is hilarious. How bad it is. It all happens in the uk Sometimes there's accents. Sometimes there's not Um, the I don't think acx really cares what is in there as long as it fits the audio quality that they're looking for Like a certain what hurts or whatever um, I don't know how that works, but uh Yeah, I think as long as it meets their parameters, you're fine. They don't actually listen to the whole damn thing Uh, but yeah, it's uh, it's a fucking mess In fact, another thing is it's funny because I just got a not a review a comment on my review of the reddening That said I really like this book. That's all they said and my my entire rant was about the audiobook Uh, now the book itself is probably amazing But I literally don't remember anything that happened because I kept laughing at the production quality Anyways, and I'm not the only one who had an issue with it Um, I'm sure the reviews are all over the place over there You can tell the fanboys and whatnot, but there's also the there's the other side of the spectrum Where it's like it's either like five stars glowing reviews or one stars. This production is terrible The the single worst uh, well real quick. I have a funny acx story. I had I had a uh 70 something year old gentleman do stirring the sheets Uh, phenomenal job. He's a Hollywood character actor You'd be hard-pressed to find a drama from the 70s that he was not in from oh, wow freaking kojak to uh dragnet um freaking falcons crest dallas As a matter of fact, I was watching del I think I told you last year you a year ago or two I was watching like yeah, I remember that conversation. Yeah, and I saw him pop on the screen as is uh JR our wife's doctor for her through her pregnancy and I was like that's freaking Anyway, that's cool. God bless him He was I kept hearing mouse clicks where he was pausing or doing something and uh, Because this was one of my first audiobooks. I made sure I read along and I still do that I I think I got eight or nine audiobooks now and I still You know, I think the last one I didn't follow along with the book I just listened to it, but I always usually follow along with the book. Anyway, I kept hearing these clicks this poor guy Couldn't hear them and I'm like oh and I finally dawned. I mean I had to say dude I think it's because you're old. Yeah, I think you're you're going dude You're you know, it's your your ears are not picking up on the uh frequency of this Right. Yeah, and the only reason why I even knew about that is because my um my kids had a uh Uh app on their phone that they were trying to mess with uh people with where you can um Almost like a dog whistle effect where they could set it at alarm and hide the phone somewhere And only certain people can hear the the frequency Yeah, and once you get a certain age and so I think he just wasn't and I'm like trust me this spot You know and I gave him all the time stamps. Trust me. It's there. You might not be able to hear it But it's there, but the worst edited book I've ever read in my life was actually See I can get it without spilling all my crap The only story I have like that is what the dark brings. Um, the dude had uh car sounds outside of his apartment while he was recording And uh, we left it in because it actually fit where it was. I asked him I was like, did you mean to put that in there because someone's standing by an interstate at this point in time? Did you mean to put that in there and he's like, no, that's just the sound of the road outside of my house Do you want me to take it out? I was like, no, it actually fits And then that same person put uh, they wrote their own music and put the music in it too. It was really cool. Um This is the absolute worst edited book. I've ever read in my entire life and it's not dallas's fault at all Uh, I don't think the original book is but this is a 47 north which I think is uh It's an imprint of amazon. Yeah, it is dude. I have never Uh, I've had because I can't remember but I had to look up on my review on goodreads A few just a few of the examples in here are many times it'll say like die When it's supposed to say the Yeah, somebody did a copy replace instead of uh The word isle like I will I apostrophe l l is spelled three different ways in the book with within just a handful of pages One way it's spelt with three l's Another way it's spelt t l l and another way it's spelt one one one There's some other ones in here there was a consistency thing where This thing running the woods was a squirrel and then a paragraph later. It was a rabbit being chased I don't this is not dallas's fault. I don't know who got a hold of i'm trying I'm i'm about to explain it to you the same thing happened with with dick with richard layman Uh 47 north acquired all of his books And they literally run them through their their a it wasn't really it's like grammarly. They ran it sounds like a Yeah, yeah, they they run it through they run it through another editing program And then no one proof reads it's because it's all automated their entire process is automated They use something that's a little bit better. It's called pro writing aid It's not grammarly, but they use pro writing aid to to fix all this stuff And then they just put it out But the problem is is they are using The old drafts because leisure when they closed they did not send the final drafts with with them They had to get that stuff from either the estates or the authors or whatever um, and they are republishing this stuff that leisure was Published but they don't have the the finished manuscripts So in situations like with uh, either dallas didn't want to go back and fix it or with dick dick was dead Dick's been dead since 2001. Um, so what they that they literally just took the manuscripts They have the rights to the books. They didn't have the manuscripts So they're getting the original copies of wherever they might be Either having people type them back up or having them scanned That's most of what's going on you can actually tell in the in the ebooks that they have been especially with dick stuff You can tell it's scanned Or they would they will scan the manuscript and literally put it in there like that Um, but yeah, that's what's happening. Uh, they use the pro writing aid to go in there and fuck it up And then also they are using the some in some cases like tom pissarelli's they're using the Uh, the rough drafts because that's the only version that tom had You know the the publishers had the final drafts and they actually own the final draft because they paid for all the editing and everything So that that's what you're seeing. That's what's happening. Um, it's unfortunate Surprising that amazon themselves would do something like that because I know that they uh They understand a customer base and they understand and they want to Have happy customers because then you have a better bigger business And so i'm surprised that they would even allow especially considering back in the day Uh, all amazon was was a bookstore. Yeah, I know Um, and he right he started by running it out of his garage. Um, I I get I I understand what you're saying, but it's also a matter of saturation and it's also a matter of having the illusion of having a bookstore was like we own all these things Uh, and as long as we have enough of it, we're gonna have something for everyone kind of thing Uh, because when leisure when when leisure went under amazon swooped in and bought all that shit And then uh, same thing I don't well every single thing that was published through leisure if it had a working contract Then that contract was moved over to amazon amazon sometimes made deals with the authors who were still around But most of time what they would do is they would just take the the rough draft that the uh, the estate or the author had And they would just run it through their own software just to clean it up enough to make it viable But they know they're also not going to make a shit ton of money off of people like, you know, dallas and dick They're they're not going to um, they're they're they're going to sell maybe, you know 100 200 copies with any year Maybe maybe more sometimes when things get popular or movie adaptation or whatever But for the most part they understand that they're not selling steven king numbers. They're not selling john grisham numbers They're not selling carillon keppness numbers. What they're doing is that they're selling to a very specific Uh subset of people and a lot of those people's don't a lot of those people don't don't give a fuck Um, because I would say for every, you know, all the negative reviews that that book's getting There are plenty of people out there's either a still buying the book just because it's got his name on it Or b there are people, you know, that don't care about that kind of thing and they just want the story There's a lot more that nowadays, especially with text speak and all that stuff people just don't care about errors like they used to Yeah, well good book. I don't want to discourage anybody. Oh, definitely reading. Just don't get the 47 north copy Yeah, try to find the old leisure copy. If it's one thing leisure did their their books were clean as fuck I don't I don't know if this is this is strictly 47 north cover But this is no, that's that's the old leisure cover. Um, okay. Well, just look for that and do not buy it Yeah, they also bought all the um all the covers. That's why all of dick's books all have the same covers from back when They were with leisure because he they they bought everything the rights to everything Uh, I don't recall those issues on that edition of red. Do you have the big one or do you have the old leisure edition because Yeah, leisure books were clean as fuck that what he that what he has that is not a leisure print At all it first off. It's twice as large It's uh, it's where they call it's trade trade paperback versus a mass market paperback But anyways, yeah only got 27 minutes left. I gotta finish this Okay, I guess I'm done. I ain't done much. We talked a lot but I'm done. Um, no point in going on. Hey century. I'm sorry Sorry, I missed you. I finally fished a dark tower yesterday on my birthday. Can you believe it? Um, the ending had me broken for quite a bit when you really think about afterwards hence it worked Yeah, yeah, definitely. I love the ending of uh, some people don't like it, but uh, I love it Um, but the reviews mentioned those issues. I just didn't realize before buying still an amazing book and interesting background regarding those editions Yeah, Pedro, uh, yeah amazon swooped in Um when leisure collapsed and it was a it was a feeding frenzy is what it was um, some other places bought it but eventually amazon ended up with all of the stuff that leisure still had, uh Contracts for They still owned ended up going to amazon then then there were some people who went Who took their rights back and decided to let amazon have it anyways Your edition has the path the novella the passenger I don't know. Yeah, so does mine. Yeah, I don't know which edition I have All right, so that's everything for today guys. Thanks for joining us.
