Skip the First Paragraph

Does this work? I chose the RED option on an all black ribbon. You can tell I have a lot to say tonight. The thing who shall hot be named because I do not like camel case as something to type that thing is draining me of things. Where things are my ideas for stuff that ‘s not part of my brain. I can only thing of thinks that I need for the next 2,000 words. Am I blathering? Well so I am blathering. I blather at times like this. It is more important to get “it” out of my brain.

I am a person who has not read everything. Where everything is all of the popular stuff like Noir, SF, where everything includes all of the well-known stuff. Today I am talking about Stephen King. I just sever got interested in King. Until last night when I started in On Writing. It seemed like a good thing to read while attempting to write a novel. Hey, if I get stuck hopefully he will have some advice for me to use. So far so great.

One of the things he includes in the book is a list of hundreds of books he has read and likes enough to list here with a bit of advice that he is not recommending the books. They are books he liked. I checked for Joe Hill to see if he was listed. I mean c’mon he is your son. There are none of them listed. None.

How can this be? I checked Hill’s list of published novels. There they were, including NOSlA2 and Horns and other things I would think he would like. Then while reading I say a mention of his brother being 55. Quick mental math indicated this was written in 2000. I checked the page in the front of all books and WOW this book was written, published in 2000.

Just goes to show that Stephen King is not a psychic.
Though maybe he just does not want to reveal the future to us.

PS: If like my proofreader (who lets a lot of things slide) you do not know what camel case is, it is a mix of upper and lower case words. It was (is?) a fad with computer people. Example: NaNoWriMo
