En la corte del lobo. Hilary Mantel
El francés es la primera lengua del embajador del Imperio y de España; y él, como cualquier otro diplomático, nunca se tomará la molestia de aprender inglés, porque, ¿de qué le serviría en su próximo puesto?

When we lack one of the following three p1

Beauty
Money
Talent
NON RELATABLE
Do you remember… No, you might not since this could be the very first time you’re reading me nonsensing.
Some time ago, some love novel or feminine literature went garbage bin since it wasn’t relatable to, at all. The main character? A 19 y.o. genius girl who becomes a mental slightly bent billionaire’s shrink. Lodging including in his house.
Me… Middle aged, not stupid but not a MENSA member and definitely average (except for the asexuality). Thus… But last day (by the time of the original entry indeed), I uncovered the Venus martian alien conspiracy!
AMBITION AND REALITY
What makes such writing successful is what Min Ye Rin in Perfum or Parfum’s (페픔) chapter 13th declares in his lines: not many of us will happen to come upon the experience.
Humans, we are animals who love keeping each other within the same communal misery frame[1] We love movies portraying expensive cars… (How much is a Bentley? Would an absent minded me ask… —when it is more probable I have an idea on how much a Shire horse costs); being vandalized, destroyed, stolen. Did anyone call the insurance company?
James Bond. We love him traveling first class and calling on all those expensive places we only dream with going to (I only dream going to the Transiberian train) and we wouldn’t being able to go after saving all our life.
Right. If it is all about entering a house ceiling higher than 1.9 m and a bathroom two Paris apartments size… No doubt it is something very few of us will have. That for those with capitalism values, at least. I like the birds coming to the evergreen and making a ruckus more than Hilton hotel logos in my gowns. I don’t even have any gown.TO BE CONTINUED

Percance
Biru biru biru biru.
Luces rojo azul.
Tapón de castor.
¿Chocado?
¿Robado?
¿Muerto?
¿Por qué de pronto el río de luces no fluye?
Y la red, que debería ser automática,
Informa del evento de ante ante ayer. -
Escritos invisibles
Nota a pie de página por el autor. Lores y damas. Terry Prattchet
El estudio de los escritos invisibles era una nueva disciplina originada por el descubrimiento de la naturaleza bidireccional del Espacio-Biblioteca. Las matemáticas taumatúrgicas son tremendamente complejas, pero en sustancia se reducen al hecho de que todos los libros, allá donde estén, afectan a todos los otros libros. Esto es obvio: los libros inspiran otros libros que serán escritos en el futuro, y citan libros que fueron escritos en el pasado. Pero la Teoría General* del Espacio-B sugiere que, en ese caso, los contenidos de libros que todavía no han sido escritos pueden ser deducidos a partir de los libros actualmente existentes. -

CAUSAL
No matter how much someone annoyingly comes out about universe’s logic being totally random ( me); we need a superior almighty being or consciousness or fate orchestrating life’s events to feel everything is alright and purposeful. We need this order of logical situations happening because of this and this reason for us to feel things are properly moving on. Otherwise we’re only zombie drones.
Still lost? Picture a small snowball. Now picture a hill. Make the snowball to roll down. It becomes bigger and bigger to every roll. It seemingly has been going down collecting unrelated events ( more snow particles, enough depth, there’s no gigantic rock on its way) with an initial cause (the small snowball falling down) and zero casualty.
LEFT BEHIND CRUMBS
That’s why, if you haven’t read Harry Potter [highly improbable] I will recommend it. J. K. Rowling is easy to decode for even someone as clueless as me after re reading a few times. So let’s concentrate in her montage rather than in what she X’s (twits ^v^). That is already discussed in some other blog.
Does Potter need to meet the one who broke the Fidelio enchantment? Let’s have a rat and a cat. Who’s to suspect of a cat trying to catch mice? Did you ever think the rat was a rat? One who kidnaps, betrays and seeks power. That kind of rat. No, you didn’t. If you had you might have followed the left behind crumbs and figured it out from the beginning.The same kind of crumbs Agatha Christie left behind for us to solve the mystery.
This is why a story is not a story unless something happens to someone in a way that looks casual but is totally causal.
It is like taking out cents from the register without the owner realizing. Time to keep writing and remind you I had already mentioned this idea in some Ronald B Tobias’ quote (20 master plots):
«Good writing appears to be casual but in truth is causal.»
And as casual as I’d like to look like, the truth is that that’s all. HAVE A NICE DAY. Pasto kalo. -
First time
Two kilometres.
At 60 kph.
And all I recall,
Is the lorry that went by on my side,
to scurry lizard in front.
The jumping hitting the bumpers,
cause the crazy speed of the sane ones.
My jelly legs after a turn that wrong without breaking down.
No worries, I survived. -
Pauta de inevitabilidad cuántica
Yaya Ceravieja no habría sabido lo que era una pauta de inevitabilidad cuántica ni aunque se la encontrara comiéndose su cena. Si alguien le mencionara las palabras «paradigmas espaciotemporales», ella se limitaría a replicar «¿Qué?». Pero eso no quería decir que fuera una ignorante. Sólo quería decir que no tenía ningún trato con las palabras, y menos con la jerigonza. En cambio, sabía perfectamente que ciertas cosas suceden siempre en la historia humana, se repiten como clichés tridimensionales. Son los cuentos.

On how to ruin a tale p1

It is the simplest thing. Have it to be devoid of anything going on.A LIST OF EVENTS
Sarah Domet (90 days to your plot) quotes Flannery O’Connor, fiction writer, to exemplify it.
Flannery O’Connor
“If nothing happens, it’s not a story.”
[Domet might add that if something’s not happening to someone, it is not a story]
That sounds simple and yes, easy to do. Truth is, we’re taught to make bullet lists at school or lists preceded by those hard to read numbers. Roman numbers I think they’re called. A long sigh. So the first thing we do is make a list of events to happen.
Yep. We can have them to fall in love at first sight, have intercourse, becoming pregnant, shotgun wedding… Yet, this is NOT something happening. It is not even a wedding speech, the least a story. The most drunken groom’s friend could make it hotter than this. The important thing is not it happening. Or it happening to someone.
PURPOSE
The thing of the utmost importance is the reason. The purpose. We like thinking things happen for a reason. And that’s a given even for Asian narratives. The stars align, the heavens decide, it opens the wheel of reincarnation… Just for it to be causally and not casually. Apparently cause and effect doesn’t exist in Asian narratives but it does, maybe in the ritual sense. We might fail in seeing the cause since we’re westerners and want everything explained but if such were the case; red string plots wouldn’t exist at all.
Can you speak in a Christian tongue miss[1] Merriam? Right, sometimes even myself I don’t get what I intend to say but what I’m trying to explain is….TO BE CONTINUED
