 Church of the Chair where we celebrate all the things we do while seated. I'm your host E here with my co-host Chad Lutsky We are currently writing a collaborative novel tentatively called Planet Caravan So we will be sharing our writing and all that stuff as we do this but a mainly This is just I guess educational purposes Impression and encouragement. Yeah, exactly Motivational inspirational encouragement all that stuff just showing you how we do what we do And sometimes we don't even know what we're gonna be doing next So today is pretty much one of those days at least on my end. I don't know where we're starting I don't know where we're going but It's kind of been happening naturally anyways like the last two streams I've just kind of run off on my own while Chad was layering and editing and everything Good morning, Alec. Good morning, Boggle And then, you know But that this is just natural discovery. That's what we're doing here and that's what every first draft should be It's just natural discovery. I Think someone dropped acid in my coffee and I saw Mona Lisa's head tossed You're talking about Mandy. I okay. I get what you're saying now by the way Digesting that fucking movie from last night. It's wild man You had a lot of fun. I Highly suggest watching a watching Mandy while you're while you're stoned. I did that Just not stoned you miss it out brother. You miss it out. So I We had talked about Writing off-camera because at this point, I don't think anyone cares I think they're enjoying the brainstorming and but not waiting for every single word, you know, right? So I did actually Write a little last night. I wrote a little this morning Because we have a new chapter coming up that we brainstormed and then we were done So I started that I mined what you had or cannibalized whatever what you had written about the dishes and stuff like that and Started that did the dishes scene And there's a gap here where because we had Travis come home But we're gonna have him come home later like he's gonna take off And then they're the boys are gonna take off. They're gonna go to the Barn graveyard thing and have you know some discussion or whatever so everything that's yellow here is what I wrote Last night and this morning. Hi, so that's that's what I'm gonna. I guess that's what I'll start off doing And it it merely goes over and there's a character. We can change his name if you want. There's a character Cassidy has one friend. It's the only other house. He's ever been in before got you okay because he has nothing to compare At least this is what I wrote. He has nothing else to compare like wow my life sucks, you know and His friend's name is Shibby Shibby Yeah, it's just like I said we could change if you want shit Shibby Werner, I think But I made his dad. I named his dad Cleedy But I I couldn't remember if you had mentioned a guy named Cleetus and I thought what if that was This guy that they stole drugs was was from Shibby's house, you know like But it's the only they have guard dogs because I wrote in here that Cleedy has a whole pharmacy in there mostly cocaine, I think I know that because Aunt Rita Uncle Trav talk about it and sometimes Cleedy comes over with his little baggies and waves them in my Uncle's face like a worm on a hook and him and Cleedy and Aunt Rita will go in the bedroom and we can all hear them having sex in there I don't pay for the coke during those visits not with money anyway. Yeah, so If we will if you want to explore that we can have Shibby's You know like Maybe that be the you know and then Cleedy or Cleetus or whatever I can't I couldn't remember the name that you well It was Cougar Cleetus Cougar Cougar. Okay. It was Cougar, but Cougar Cleetus Cleetus was a joke Naming the the second uncle Cleetus is what I was gonna is what I was joking about because that was the thing that popped into my head But Cougar was the name. Okay. I just replaced Okay, I just replaced Cleedy and Cougar. That's fine. That's all right with me morning Viking they both have a They're both their names are are kind of reminiscent of VJJ material like Cleedy Cleedy Cougar. Yeah, so whatever Um But yeah, we can explore that And we're up to a point. Yeah, we're like the dishes are done and I talked about How they don't usually talk to each other in the house because when they do uncle Travis Starts he picks up half the conversation gets paranoid. He's like when you guys up to So then they try to be quiet most of the time But even then sometimes they're like guys are being awfully quiet, you know, cuz he's just paranoid It's it's kind of like that Eminem line. It's like shut up when I'm talking to you you hear me answer me Yeah Or Nirvana's uh Take your time hurry up. Yeah, don't be late I'm gonna read this grave matters section Now is all that new stuff in the Where'd you put all the stuff you were talking about just now Under the grave matters chapter, I could oh there it is. Okay. I'm sorry never mind because I was reading I was like wait a second The syncs of science experiment. I was like that's fine, but six people in double I make Yeah, all right, so you did minor adjustments throughout here even cockroach Yeah, I didn't go by and clean So find an error. Yeah, I got you. I'm just trying to think of how how I want to say this like a cockroach is stuck or a Cockroach sticks to a knife. I think I want to do up to a knife cutter covered in peanut butter twitches knife I'd click I chucked the knife roach and all into the trash spoons I know I Guess we should switch the knife to a spoon. That's my bad. I that's all right. I just Yeah, I like how you extended this one this part Yeah, because I think I originally just said the halo dust around its corpse reminds me of the stuff They suck up their noses Not like what you did better dried cereal and oatmeal is a really good considering this kid has sensory issues You would find this stuff like exceedingly disgusting So that's more character build-up without saying, you know that he's actually like either on the spectrum or whatever It definitely has sensory issues Just with the shit off of this Been there done that bro I Should be burner is such a king name. I Don't I don't know that's probably because I'm thinking of characters like she me from a from a what's it? Wizarding glass He's this the slow dude. You haven't read never mind. I Mean we could change it lately. I've just been doing like it. I'm just I'm gonna do weird names like like cake Yeah, you know, I just I lately I love names that aren't names. Yeah, sorry the orgy is getting to me Especially how I picture these characters in my head. Yeah Okay, so I was thinking the way we could fit in since he's supposed to be doing chores today and they run off to the Place that they're going to hang out The impromptu cemetery. I was thinking when he gets back It can be one of those things where Rita's pissed is like you didn't finish cleaning up and he's like, yes I did I did we both we did the dishes and she's like no you forgot the vacuum He's like thinking like you didn't tell me I needed the vacuum But anyways, he goes and does the vacuuming is to fit in the the stuff down here This sucks chapter that I wrote You said you like the the part with the costume jewelry and everything That I read to you. Yes, so I was thinking once we get back Once they get back from there. We can start the setup to why you know, oh, well, we know why he's leaving He has plenty of plenty reasons to leave now. He has no options But after he cut after what's this book comes home with a coat Yeah, so We still have How about we have okay The timeline okay, so let we'll have this scene at this barn graveyard thing Then we'll have an We'll have a night where you know Get a glimpse of you know, what he goes through like when he when he goes to bed and whatever he might have to deal with the next day kind of more the same or we can come up with something and then that is the day that And Also, maybe while he's laying in bed. He's thinking about this cocaine and you know how was life gonna change and and this might change for the worse and this is God This is this can't get better and blah blah blah and the next day He's thinking about it too and maybe he's hanging out with Cassidy or maybe he's doing his own thing and then He's like I'm going to this carnival tonight And then he has that fun and and then when he when he leaves the carnival Which will be a huge chunk of the book, you know, just that first night meeting this girl and everything and all of fun they have and then He he decides, you know when he leaves By the time he's you know, it probably decides on the way home or when he leaves the carnival I'm going to Yeah, I'm gonna take that that coke run so he goes back does it leaves that same night So he doesn't leave tonight, right leave like tomorrow night. What if and in the jewelry thing What what that can happen tomorrow Yeah before he even goes to the fair and then that's just more of a yeah more more of a kick in the pants to do it What if Since we haven't we can always go back and build this up We haven't built up that he like saw a poster for the carnival or whatever. What if the very next day? Like you're talking about them at the barn, right? And you want to you want Him you want Shane to meet Shanna behind this barn. What if they literally go? What if he goes to hang out after he's like fucking destitute after the whole? Missing costume jewelry. He's just like I got to get the fuck out of here before I get myself beat up You know confronting this man or whatever reason and he goes out there And he finds that the carnival has set up on the property where their little cemetery is Do you like that whatsoever? No, because then then I Like the idea of this being the last night and so he knows that they're both they're leaving town Tomorrow anyway, so it's like but if he's essentially in their backyard with the Yeah, and then they're gonna find they're gonna see him or somebody's gonna see him that knows Okay, so you want you want the you want the the barn in the cemetery to be very close To I mean I figure I figure you know off across the field through a patch of woods Something like that you have a mile away or something like we can even have him like laying in his bed Reading or something and he could literally like hear the carnival music. It's so close We could have something like that just to designate No, no, no, no, no, no the great yard. I'm sorry. I'm yeah, my brain is not firing There's two there's two barns. There's the abandoned run-down barn that they probably shouldn't be climbing because it's so shifty and Then there's just the the 4-H Right kind of you know housing for whatever I'm on the same page now. I'm sorry I could I don't know what the fuck I did like a tornado brain part in my head I get what you're saying Literally my brain was still stuck on the carnival being close But it's the old run-down barn that is close and then the carnival is not close. Yeah, we're on the same page now. Oh And it doesn't even have to be a bar and it could be a semi, you know a lot of these like the fun house The the county fair that we had here the fun house is in Is essentially in a inside of a semi? You know like a yeah And I think a lot of them are like that and then it's just it's yeah It's like a giant trailer and they have this fun house inside of it somehow or something I don't know how it works, but it's it's like it's like one of those pop-up campers That's that's how they're yeah use those it is it is a semi trailer It has the wheels and axles and everything on it But the the sides fold down like when they're on the road the sides will flip up like the parts that hang out We'll fold in and then On the inside they'll literally have a crank that will extend it outward and then they'll put posts down behind it So and it's made to be collapsible. So they but yeah when they're on the road It just looks like any other trailer really. Yeah And that's pretty much the same thing with like rides like the Tilt-A-World them shits just fold up That they're built to do that Same with the ferris wheels not not completely of course most ferris wheels the wheel itself stays But sometimes they tear them shits down do all depends on how many roustabouts they got Or tent men or whatever you want to call them Hey Lee. Yes, I knew it was sarcasm. I knew you weren't trying to tell me That that it was spelled that it was spelled incorrectly. I did the internet more for the title today More writing M-O-A-R Can't wait for this book to come out. It's gonna be a while player Because we're going with a publisher this time. So we got it honestly If it's anchor or any of the other places I've had in mind it's gonna be two to three years So if and that's after it gets accepted. So That's just normal because they got to build up the the readership they got him, you know All that stuff, especially since we will be considered debut authors oddly enough. Hey, Derek. What's up, man? I? Have not Done that card yet, but I will day I Was in bed when you when you sent that last I was in bed when I read your message last night All right, so what are you gonna be working on today? Which I was gonna I was gonna Do this Continue on this this great matters. Yeah, and Do the Like the barn thing, okay? Just because it's I meant I pictured is having a lot of dialogue. Maybe it won't I don't know Haven't gotten there, but I'm hoping some kind of Meaningful touching conversation or whatever can come out of it. Yeah, just get in and start doing it something will happen Something deep. Yeah If it doesn't we can come back This is off topic Someone just sent me a message and I was tagged I think it was yesterday A reader had bought broad street bastard and when they showed me a screenshot where it says um Blocked for your privacy or whatever like it shows like in there where it shows their order It's like hazed out Like as though she was buying a porno or something or dildo or something like that But it's just my book She's like what kind of book am I you know getting myself into and I told her That I already think that Amazon is is shadow banning me wait a second. Do you mark? Do you click that thing that says only people 18 and up for an audience? When you upload your books to kdp If not, you need to go and click that shit because that's for adult stuff So I'm wondering if that's what's happening I may have for this just because of the amount of sex in it Because the most sex I've ever had in a book People get this wrong all the time and you're not supposed to Don't click on that unless you got like nudity or If it's a radical or whatever, I would definitely go check because that should happen to me with uh with betting um And when I called amazon, I was like, why are you doing this? Is like, well your your book is pornography and I was like, well, it's not pornography There it is not for the arousal of people And they said well, you click the the thing that said it's only for 18 and up and I'm like Okay, so I didn't click it. I don't click it. I haven't gotten trouble for it But what I was told specifically by amazon is the only reason you should click on that Is if there is pornography in your book. So if it's click that might be what's going on that makes more sense Um, but yes, they do also shadow ban based on titles. I know that for a fact Because anderson uh, prunty had issues with fuckness before he put the asterisk In uh if you in the instead of the you he put an asterisk after it Take that for it Okay, I just changed it on the kindle I don't know that if I do that or not Well, I I suggest going through all of your stuff and checking if you have that checked because if you do that's that's pornography um, that's that's their note for that Okay, yeah, because some guys just send me a message and um What kind of fuck am I buying? That's amazing made made a suggestion. Um And then asked if I uh or instead. Yeah, I searched all over for it. I couldn't find it of course Yeah, because even when uh when I had dastardly bastard out It did not sell anywhere near as well as my other books and it was the one everybody was excited for because it was my sophomore effort um and It was hard to find in Searches all that shit, but when you bought it It didn't have anything blurred out And that was back before they put the that check mark thing there So I don't know if that that might have something to do with it But I do remember that happening to me and it's about the It's about checking that thing Awesome. Thanks, man. I'll uh, here. Well, let's see what happens now. I hope it helps, man I really fucking hope it helps But I still don't understand why they would do that if the person buying is over 18 years old You know or or give some kind of thing like are you over 18 or whatever, you know I don't know But like you only you can only buy it if you have a credit card on file that kind of shit Um, that's what they should do. There's no reason for them to be But anyways Yeah, there's a lot of stuff. I'm gonna have to cut from this next chapter coconut smile Um, just because the timeline has now switched to the next day Right, right, you know that well not not the vacuuming but for the uh, Coke the coke reveal whenever it's going to be Um, but it's not right after the dishes. So I need to cut some things out of here Have you read ahead? Because I'm really proud of something that you might not even like I'm sorry, dude. I haven't you're fine. I'm gonna tell you about it though Okay, the coke and a smile scene opens up with fucking bethany sitting there with one of those giant hershey kisses That hunter stole for her during During valentine's day and she's rubbing it on her pregnant belly because it has cocoa butter in it She heard that's good for tiger swat stripes and then her and rita are arguing back and forth rita's like I didn't need that shit when I pushed cassidy out Anyways, I really like it. So if you can make it work, dude make it work. I just love the idea That's funny. It's so random. I like it exactly. I just I love this idea of this, you know Coked out pregnant woman sitting there rubbing a fucking giant urchin kiss on her on her belly and then Hunters over there like dipping his finger in it I love it. That's right. Uh, it's like very it's very subtle, but I wrote it 100 serious. So Yeah, it's like a day. It's like a lynchee in a moment. Yeah That's awesome. I love shit like that. Uh anyways Yeah, especially the other ones that I didn't need to do that when I was pregnant Exactly What are you doing? Oh, so good. Anyways, but yeah, try to make that work if you can. Yeah, sure Uh Anyways Matter of fact, I'm not looking for it right now. Okay. So here's something so shibby If shibby's with cooter and we're going to have trav Kill cooter does he kill shibby too? Or are we not going to do that with the you know, no, I don't think I don't Because I was saying there's you know far more to uh cooters operation than just cooter So it would be like his family retaliating or whatever. Um Or what what what have you but if you don't want to do it now that there's a Kid involved or for whatever reason you don't want to do that scene. That's fine I was just wondering because I am I'm not gonna lie and here's some honesty for you I am kind of getting overwhelmed with like the the the timelines Shifting I'm trying to keep track of everything. Yeah, it's not that I don't like it. It's that my My brain doesn't work like this. I'm a very linear writer like from beginning to end And then sometimes I'll write scenes a little out of order But having a partner doing this and I think it's good to discuss this stuff anyways because people You know the stumbling blocks are going to pop up Um So here's here's how I had you tell me what you tell me what I have wrong I'm gonna lay out the timeline right now As far as what you just said and yes, I have short term memory loss issues So if I probably get something wrong even though you just fucking said it So we have the opening scene We have uh the scene with Cassidy now With the shoplifting it was a woman. Um The cashier was a woman and then it was a uh mountain dew bottle and not a zima bottle and then we have him coming home and Doing the dishes with Cassidy and then from there we're going to grave matters Um to give that sweet little moment of them, you know, just touching moment whatever just talking in the old dilapidated barn Um and then after they come back inside Travis comes home with the coke and then we can have the coke in a smile chapter and then at the Then we flash to the next day after that chapter um and then uh the vacuuming and the costume jewelry shit happens And but he can be thinking all that night from the night before, you know, this coke is going to change things Maybe it's going to get better around here kind of deal but then he finds the earring in the carpet And has a break has to get out of the house kind of thing He go ends up going to the carnival And then he meets shenna Um, then he comes back home with it in his mind that they're leaving tomorrow. I'm going to steal the coke I'm going to take off and join the carnival But the night that he meets shenna is going to be probably a couple chapters long itself Because you really want to get into that their their whole connection thing. Yeah So that's that's where we're at, right? Yeah, yeah with the exception of When he's laying a bed or whatever and he's reflecting I don't think that he's gonna be like maybe things will get better. I think that he's the only smart one here It's like this is true things are not getting. Yeah, this can only go worse. You know So he would actually be thinking along the lines also Of I might go ahead and write that section the the section where he's laying in bed because he would be thinking um Also that taking the well, no if he hasn't met shenna yet I'm trying to No, that's not going to work. Never mind erase everything. I was just talking about because I sit in here thinking You know, um, it's definitely going to be worse for cassidy if I leave him here with the coke But I don't I don't want to get into that like but there's even I don't know why I'm trying to push reasons for him to leave. He has plenty of reasons to leave So let me let me erase that from my head. Let me get that out. The only other thing that we should do is Maybe one more scene or maybe we could do it. Maybe it could be done in the grave matters chapter Where it's very very clear um that uh cassidy Does absolutely not want to leave right. He doesn't feel like he needs to be saved He wants he loves his parents for whatever reason. There you go We we can have that discussion right we can have that that's your deep moment right there when they're they're talking And you know shane just brings up amen. You ever thought about just leaving, you know that kind of thing So we know it's already on his mind Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah So that way he's not people aren't like why wouldn't he take him with him? It's like he doesn't want doesn't want it and that's also the perfect place for shane to leave his note For cassidy like the the phone number Or whatever that he's going to be calling to check in with with cassidy. He can leave it at the The impromptu graveyard So that the family won't find it even if they go into cassidy room except for yeah, I I think you should leave a note But it says more like I will I will be I will be calling because I don't think he's gonna be able to have a number Because they're traveling around and he has no he has no idea where the next town is he's just he's along for the ride I got you so he'll use you know payphone and then we talked about maybe using I think we we touched on this about maybe using Shanna's voice to get a hold of to try to disguise it as yes ship. I remember that shibby But then maybe that won't work because uncle trav knows that shibby right down there But we need something earlier that denotes that uh, cassidy is the only one who answers the phone And we can have something like that's right. You already said that. Yeah, shane bring up And then he's like Yeah, shane will put on the piece of paper I will call and let it ring only once before I hang up And then you'll know that the next time I call it's me I'll just let it ring one time Or something like that something like that Um, but yeah, we need we need something short and quick Where uh, we're cassidy where they holler for cassidy to pick up the phone and then a little minute Maybe maybe you don't even need to mention in the narrative that says You know there or maybe something as simple as they're too lazy to even answer their own fucking phone You know that kind of thing Um, but cassidy does cast the kids obviously do everything around this house There's a bunch of coke spoiled adults, you know fucking their brains out and getting high and whatnot And these two kids have to do literally everything else Yeah, all right Yeah, and you're you're right. That's absolutely fucking brilliant with cassidy being like no, I don't want to go anywhere I don't have any problem here and and of course Shane having come from a loving relationship with his mother He knows How good things can be or they can be better and like you said with the whole buildup with shibby and cooter Is even that other experience he has at someone else's house is just as bad as his home experience So he has no metric to judge this by I love that. That's fucking brilliant. Yeah All right, so I've already been in this chair for an hour. I'm gonna go ahead and take a break when I get back I'm gonna hit. I'm gonna try my hand at him laying in bed Going over everything that's happened even though we haven't written this you You haven't written the stuff that he's gonna be reflecting on I'm gonna try it and at least he'll be there It's a foundation that we can then rewrite And it'll it'll be easier. So All right I'll be back y'all treat chad Well treat me well treat treat him behave y'all Hey, you want to share your screen? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I just thought about that. I was halfway out the door. I was like, whoa night, right bike All right, there you go. All right gone again. Love y'all It's already disgusting outside Isn't hunter technically a cousin Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that Um Which means this is Cassidy's older brother, right? No, it wouldn't be his older brother. It'd be uh The other uncle who's no longer in the picture or whatever because I actually have a part explaining that in a coconut smile Hang on. Oh, okay I got it somewhere coming up, but uh Yeah, because I uh Hunter or baby daddy my cousin stole it from valentine's I I say it's somewhere in here and I can't remember where the fuck it is um I think it's actually from bethany. Oh, no, no, no, it's the uh, it's the part in This sucks our vac our vacuum is one of the rainbow one of the rainbows folks sell door to door when hunter and bethany lived with hunter's dad Trav's brother duet bethany let one of those salesman inside Those who pour wine on your carpet and swear for christ and all his angel friends that their machines will make it spotless by the end of their presentation Bethany coked out of her gourd So just an average day for her signed all the promissory paperwork and the salesman left her with her new vacuum I can only assume she was gonna use the thing until it got repossessed But her not being able to pay for it what I say Her not being able to pay for it because all the money she used to make She used to make pouring went to drugs And then duet died and she and hunter moved in with uncle travis and aunt rita and brought the vacuum along with them Anyways, so there you go. We gotta We have an explanation Okay Yeah, like that's one of my favorite uh One of my favorite styles too magical realism and uh fableism so where do I need to put what if uh what if Bethany because I was given a little background Up here, but then I just scroll down was reading yours. What if bethany used to date the wit And then now she's you know that makes it even more like what are you guys doing? Yeah What if she met him whoring that would be the that would be Oh lord, and then she ends up uh ends up with the uh with his son. That'd be man Oh or Yeah, what if after the uncle dies that's when she ends up with the Like they weren't together before duet died Yeah Yeah, like they like duet and her were a thing and then he died and then and then she started dating hunter And so now she's pregnant I'm gonna add that to my section that uh this sucks Uh, I'll just change it so you can set it up earlier if you want and then I'll just change it okay We might move the this sucks section up now because uh Hunter hasn't been introduced at all yet, right? Not really. No, I don't think we've seen him at all before that Okay, so we'll probably end up moving that up and then because right now as you probably just saw I'm like It's like we're out uncle Travis, you know, and then in hunter are leaving and then of course we've got to talk about Hunter or not uncle hunter uh this cousin hunter. Yeah, I gotta talk about him So maybe we'll move up when you're done doing whatever you're doing with that We can move it up to have the Put that in the vacuum part Okay, and and to be honest maybe we can uh Make a chapter out of it and then we'll move the we'll Like the beginning of gray matters could essentially be the beginning of this sucks And then we go through the dishes and we go through the vacuuming and introduction of the vacuum Which is hilarious, especially considering where they live and they get this really nice Exactly. Yeah, that's and then she brings it with her And then uh, we introduce hunter and how they met all that stuff and then next chapter is gray matters Okay, well that would make it that's when he finds the earring. So when he's vacuuming Do you want to do the reveal of the missing jewelry right then? or That was the only issue I had with putting it earlier or that we had with putting it earlier because that's when he finds out that the costume jewelry is missing Well, yeah, we could have it and it could be in the back of his mind You know like when they're talking and when he goes to carnival and then it could be brought up again as so that You know, uh reader knows that this is You know, like he's got this list of things now, you know, I can't do this Live here anymore. They're freaking stealing my mom's, you know stuff and all this Now they got this coke and this is my out. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, definitely. Let's do that. I like that Plus, I think um It gives a little bit more um tension to in and uh to The situation early early on to hook the reader more I'm letting you move the stuff so I don't fuck around and Do something wrong because I am not I am not versed in the ways of google docs It's uh I tried to copy and paste something the uh the other day and I fucked something up Oh Like control v didn't work to paste you have to like right click to to do that Okay, I'm gonna re-game these chapters and then I'm going to That's all we'll have to talk This used to this kind of crap used to stress out Tim Meyer out so bad man because I'd have we'd have like sections. I'm like, well you just this section later. He's like, dude These and we'd have all these little sections and stuff. I was like, don't worry. It's we're gonna fit it all Yeah I'm not worried about it as long as I'm on the same page. That's that's the only concern that I have Because I'm such a linear writer Um get from point a to point z and then we go back and uh anyways But I normally yeah, I don't really don't do this much shifting around but I do have like Oh, I just sort of a great scene right it put it down into a section called labor scenes or something like that Yeah, that's where I'm gonna. I think that's I'm just gonna plug in Him laying in bed. So all right, so I'm on the if I'm on the same page the earring the lost jewelry has already happened and my scene with him laying in bed considering his options Is still before the carnival or is it going to be after the carnival? The first time he meets shenna It's going to be before the carnival because he it's tonight that he's that you're writing the scene He meets her tomorrow night. Gotcha. But because we've moved up the vacuuming scene we can have I can mention that and all the drama he's going through in his heads like what the fuck am I going to do But he does know so the coke reveal is after Is now after the earring? Correct Yeah, we're going to do the earring in the vacuuming And then we're going to do the grave matters chapter where the kids take off and they go have this, you know Uh, kind of touching discussion or whatever this this deep moment with With the death of the animals and the barn and all that kind of stuff and then But but uh Hunter and uncle travis are going to leave Probably right now Okay, or um So I have this whole scene where hunter tries the coke to see if it's real Um after Rita does so we'll just cut that section Um since he's going with I think I might just work on that um First and make sure that hunter already knows about the coke okay And I'm for now before I move everything up. I'm going to Just bring this uh, we're out With the uncle travis's keys and stuff. I'm gonna bring that down a little bit or just make a big gap here and then write the um Intro to the whole like ain't Rita's basically saying you guys got a vacuum. Yeah Okay, maybe she gives them two tasks and they decide to split it um just so that uh, not even Cassidy knows about the uh the earring I have Cassidy doing something else and then um chain can be vacuuming Okay, or yeah, she can have Cassidy go do something entirely different Be funny if she yeah, she sent him to wash the fucking windows and he's Anyways, I don't know uh This The kind of shit that pops into my head anyways, uh background seven or eight. All right, so Let me read this word for word just in case I miss something hunter has to know about the coke. So Oh Wow, what's happening? You moving things. Yep. Okay. Why were you were you on something I moved? I I can't Hang on All I did was move the uh This sucks the old this sucks chapter up Under the section that I just wrote. Got you. Okay. I found it. Okay. Um, no, you're it's all right Just making sure I don't fuck anything up When that happens All right, I'm gonna have to give her to all this Where Cassidy runs out to get the baking soda or corn starch from dollar general Um to cut the drugs with I'll put it in later section just in case Okay I can still have Uh this part where He's happy to go out again to get the stuff I can still leave that and just all this That's an expensive ass blow job. Yeah, I was just thinking that God damn $1,300 blow job. You're right Oh She must got that got got 3000 for real. That's hilarious. Sorry And right after you just casually dropped the fucking thing used to be used to be Hunter's daddy's girlfriend. Yeah. All right. This Oh, shit, this family's fucked Uh, so good. So good Yeah, I have that problem sometimes too, Alec. That's why I always got a Uh, I always have something supernatural in the works while I'm working on something like this Did you already talk about how do it died? No, not yet. Okay. Is that the last sentence? I just talked about it. Okay. I'll go back up and read it Bitch, you thought That's that's fucking great, man That makes me very happy. It's coming along man. It is it is getting there I was just telling shell not to interrupt you, but I was telling shell. I was like, you know what? This might be one of the best things I've ever written. Um, and Uh to because we we're both good at different things So it's like we fill in the blanks for each other Um, I've I've noticed that you will take something that I have said and you rewrite it very closely to How I would like go back and rewrite it or you will do something that I never even fucking thought of and it'll be perfect So I like I love the way we balance each other. Yeah Yeah, it's gonna make for a cool book And just being honest here. I even told her I was like, you know, it fucking sucks that one of the best things I've ever written I needed someone else to help me It's no slight on you or anything or it's like It's like I wish I could do what we're doing together by myself I guess it's the best that is the best way to put it Well, when you get two heads, you know bouncing around ideas and putting stuff out that works or doesn't work then It helps definitely I'm gonna pick up Start writing him in bed After all that shit. I'm gonna call the chapter lights out For now see what uh, we do with it right after grave matters Hey, so uh, is uncle trav Or is aunt rita which one is uh mom's sibling? Have we uh Let's say rita rita. Okay And we'll just You know, like maybe she he took her down, you know, like she wasn't I don't know. She was worth something at one time But he's always just been bad news Yep Oh when you get down to the last bit of what you're working on now Um, I know it's kind of a run-on with overuse of commas and things, but I really wanted to set Set the tone for like how Anxious and upset he is about this whole thing. So that entire final paragraph is just one long running sentence with a commas Uh To kind of denote what it where his mind's at It just kind of runs Then mom's voice in my head telling me to calm down assuring me It's not so bad followed by visions of me standing beside her at a flea market If you picked through costum's duty One of my arms are after anyways, you you'll get it when I when you get down there Yeah I like how it flows All that and I only wrote a page. Fuck's sake Yeah, we're sitting there. I thought I just did the word count. I thought we'd be Have more but we're all right still we're up. We're almost at 8,000 But that's fucking great Yeah, honestly, I thought we were still around six or so Well, we were at seven this morning The last time you updated me we were like five thousand so Yeah, maybe I mean if we keep up this pace we could be done Before summer it's done Yeah I'm still here If you go black screen. Yeah, you okay? I didn't even notice What do you know? I just did a A search for broad street bastard and first thing that pops up After after I did what you said and I fixed that that'll that'll do it I'm happy for you, dude All right Lesson learned Yep That's all we can do man. Just learn from mistakes because they don't they don't tell us this shit They don't they don't tell us damn near anything But yeah, I'm glad uh Really, they should have some kind of algorithm or something that has like a kids side Kids amazon or something. I don't know what but they need to do something about that that option Um because they need to say they need to have like in parentheticals or something that's like Pornography erotica or whatever it might be They need to have something in there like that. It's fucking stupid. Yeah, it's too as of now It's just too broad like my stuff is not no pun intended broad I didn't even catch it yet, you know, it's not uh, it's not erotica Hey JB, so I didn't see you come in. I've been over here working See what the masters of imagination are getting up to We are we're we're we're booking like a turkey. I got two pages written Chads over there layering and fixing and doing it working his magic Oh, I like I like how you changed that better than to As if I should have known better than to leave it with such a responsibility That works so much better than what I had. I can't even remember what I had but that works better I knew I wasn't happy with it and that's the shit. I'm talking about that's the exact stuff I'm talking about. It's like, you know, it's like you always have the right thing The right way to rewrite something Not always Well, so far you have so I'm gonna take a break Gotta take my oldest to go see barbie at three. We're nowhere near that so Um, because it's only 11. It's about to be 11 30 here Uh, I got it. I got probably another hour in me and I am gonna go take a break. I'll be back The heck is a bobble Bobbles Bobble do you mean a bobble? Yeah Well, y'all been staring at a Black screen in a chair this entire time. How dare Dude, uh, you got the word Bobbles in here. Did you mean bubbles? I don't even yeah, I did. Yeah, I meant bubbles b a u b l e s I just fucked up All right, I I googled that and I was like, oh, this must be like a southern thing No, it's it's supposed to be bobbles. There's my how my brain works word vomit. All that good shit I know the rules doesn't mean I always follow them When I go with this I like this extended metaphor. I just gotta Figure out the rest of it Hey solvents How you doing? I didn't realize I was on mute. I got a cool, uh I got a cool something out of here too the, uh Symbolism, I guess you'd call it That's funny. We're both working with metaphor right now or Symbolism, whatever you want to call it This is the grave barn is about a half mile walk through a small patch of woods that opens into a field Barn sits in the middle of an old gray wart ready to fall Sits in the middle like an old gray wart ready to fall the accompanying house have having been Having burned down years ago. The only thing left is the open cellar Where toads get trapped and hop around their whole lives make babies then start the cycle all over again sounds familiar Yeah, this is this is what I just did. Hang on. Let me find it So he snuck after he's laying in bed. He can't get to sleep because he still pissed off about the missing jewelry and uh he goes out into the Into the kitchen to get a cup a drink of water while everyone's still coke binging and all that stuff um It's like all the while my ears are cocked like a dog's listening waiting for the slightest hint that someone's heading my direction I kill the water in a three in a single three swallow chug As I set the cup down gently without a sound my eyes tracked to the coffee table and the white residue dusting the surface They must have snorted a grip before they moved on and moved into the bedroom because there's a lot of it left behind Not piles mind you but swipes and loose trails as if someone tried to wipe it off with their hands The brick is nowhere to be found They likely have it with them and won't take their eyes off it as if anyone would think to steal it You'd have to be you'd have to be big dumb to look at this double wide and think to yourself Hey, I bet they have a stockpile of expensive drugs in there Yeah, you'd have to be an idiot to think that But what if someone knew it was here? What would trav and rita do if some thief did break in and steal the coke? The steal the coke trav stole his own damn cell not like they would call the cops. Hello police Yeah, someone just robbed me of the cocaine I'd unsold from someone else. Yeah. Yeah, we'll be here when you get here Want us to handcuff ourselves to sure thing be ready when you get here and just like that I'm thinking the unthinkable Just like that seeds are sprouting in my head blooming into irrational flowers pretty yet unbelievable I'm watering them all the same though and pretty soon. I'm looking at one hell of a garden Surely there's someone out there that had paid good money for a bouquet an arrangement such as this I plow the field and undermined everything. What do I know about selling flowers? Not a damn thing I know what I know what they look like even what they smell like, but I've never pinned a corsage on my date's dress Nice So both of us are working with shit like that right now. It's interesting. I think I am done Okay, uh, it's my back is screaming and I got to get off it before I take uh Take the oldest to the movies Because it's a hour drive back and forth into town I also got uh some reading to do just uh Just booked by this Chad Lutzky fellow. Yeah, man. You need to start that dude I was I was supposed to start last night, but I got high and uh, but oh, yeah, I watched uh Mandy with everybody got high and watch Mandy And then by the time I got back inside I was too tired to do anything else, but I got to start it today Uh, I'll probably have it done tomorrow Easily, but it's still gonna be a couple. I have an entire week worth of videos coming out So it is probably gonna be at least another week before I get a review of Um, probably next Wednesday is what I'm thinking But all right. Um, so good work today. Uh, yeah It is chugging right along. I don't know how much we've added, but it's I mean I got another Looks like three pages I added in total. I'm not nude We're at eight thousand nine hundred and eleven So, okay, I added about another I don't know probably about 400 to your I don't know how much you've added But anyway, it doesn't matter. Um word count doesn't really matter right now Is it'll either likely grow or get smaller? By the end, um as we continue layering and shaving and Compiling and all that shit, but I'm very happy with this. I'm very very happy with it. All right, man.
