So Orlean "digresses in long
passages." Blah, blah, blah.

:47:08
"No narrative unites these passages."
New York Times Book Review.

I can't structure this. It's that
sprawling New Yorker shit.

:47:14
Man, I'd fuck her up the ass.
:47:18
- Sorry.
- The book has no story. There's no story.

:47:21
All right. Make one up.
:47:23
I mean, nobody in this town
can make up a crazy story like you.

:47:27
- You're the king of that.
- No, I didn't want to do that this time.

:47:31

:48:21
...of broken mirrors to show my
protagonist's fragmented self.

:48:25
Bob says an image system increases
the complexity of an aesthetic emotion.

:48:30
- Bob says...
- You sound like you're in a cult.

:48:32
No, it's just good writing technique.
:48:35
I made you a copy
of McKee's 10 Commandments.

:48:38
I posted one over
both our work areas.

:48:50
You shouldn't have done that.
:48:54
Because it's extremely helpful.
Hey, Charles, I'm putting a song on.

:48:58
"Happy Together."
