I was looking for these exact 8 rules of writing fiction by Kurt Vonnegut. But I couldn't remember that it was 8 rules or that it was by Vonnegut. All I could remember was that one of the rules was "Start as close to the end as possible". So I entered that exact phrase into google + the term "writing" and your blog post came up. Fantastic! I only mention it to illustrate that you never know how people are going to find your content. Thanks again, this was exactly what I needed to help me finish my project.

I was just coming to your site to tell you to put up something new and then here is all this deliciousness. Sweet, I say. So glad I didn't have to put my foot up your ass. I suppose you can be forgiven since you been through earthquakes and taxi drivers going all brit brit on you. Pretty insane. Glad you are ok. But are you ok? Have I missed something? Re: KV words of wisdom Sounds a lot like the rules of good acting. Amazing how little there is of it. I did however watch a fantastic film last night - 3:10 to Yuma. Christian Bale is delectible. Definitely one of the best films of 2007. Not to be confused with the original 1940? version which I accidentally netflixed and believe me was not happy when I popped it into my dvd player. But all is well in the world. The end. xo k. Chlo! I was just coming to your site to tell you to put up something new and then here is all this deliciousness. Sweet, I say.

One of Vonnegut's most famous quotes gives us license, "We are here on this earth to fart around..." And I trust Vonnegut in the quality of self-effacement he had, the kind of vunlnerability that invents its own strength out of the knowing that it doesn't know. I think you have that, from what I've read of your posts so far. So you have a new fan (thanks to Hattie). Unless you are the one that keeps messing up my fridge magnets Far from light when eye does close; Infinity changes between is & was!
