The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

Star Wars Day. Headcanon Time!
Das Logo einer Old Republic Jedi-Akademie.
Ich stelle mir das irgendwie so vor, dass es in der Old Republic viele kleinere Jedi-Akademien gegeben hat. So ähnlich wie Dojos in Okinawa. Die Zentralisierung, Bürokratisierung und Formalisierung des Jedi Ordens zur Zeit der High Republic auf der anderen Seite führte zu Korruption und Politisierung, die dem Orden dann durch Palpatine zum Verhängnis wurde.

CW: Spoilery thoughts about #Sugar
I only now started watching #Sugar on Apple TV+, and I have seen online that there is a twist coming. I don't know what it is, but knowing there is one, I have already a strong suspicion after the first episode.

Eine klassische Anfänger-Eröffnungsszene besteht aus Charaktersteckbrief-Infodumping: "Ich bin x Jahre alt. Ich wohne in y und habe z Geschwister."
Ein Fortgeschrittener vermeidet dies zumeist via #ShowDontTell in Form eines #ColdOpening.
Ein Profi allerdings mag die Fähigkeit besitzen, eben diesen Stil des Anfängers als bewusstes Stilmittel einzusetzen. Hierfür kann bspw. #Foreshadowing oder sogar ein #unreliableNarrator verwendet werden.

A Reliable Narrator
To create the flawed character of Ray James, the protagonist in The Return Trip, I drew on the advice of substance-abuse counselors, psychological and behavioral studies, internal energy arts training, holistic health gurus, and my own experiences dealing with alcohol and other drugs. For all its sexual adventurism and political intrigue, The Return Trip at its heart is about overcoming addiction.
When he learned alcohol already had damaged his liver, and was told he must quit drinking or start writing his obituary, Ray went into denial immediately. He resisted efforts by friends and his devoted daughter to persuade him to change his ways. Like any addict, Ray dismissed warning signs and embraced whatever behavior gave him pleasure.
In literature, Ray James is an unreliable narrator whose first-person, present-tense story is propelled by his addictions, and the narcissistic and self-absorbed impulses they feed, and is filtered through his altered states of consciousness. I balanced Ray’s skewed personal narrative by adding seven objective accounts from other characters, people who were trying to help him.
It didn’t escape me that, while I was plotting Ray’s passage from doomed substance misuser to survivor, I was conjuring my own destructive spirits, and studying what I should do to drive them away for good. Ray’s story is over (maybe), but mine is very much a work in progress.
With this blog, Off the Road, I’ve committed to stop, look and listen as I begin to plow into a new novel. The first stop has been disposing of alcohol two months earlier than the usual New Year’s resolution, and this time for good, I’ve resolved. I frankly don’t have a good record with this resolution, which I make every year at least once. I went an entire year one time, and have sustained it for months at a time. This year I logged only a Dry January.
But I’m fully committed this year, thanks in large measure to the devotion of my daughter, who stopped drinking months ago after reading The Return Trip. We’ve inspired each other. I plan to return to the diet and exercise regimen that in 2019 helped me lose 30 pounds and regenerate my gut microbiome, before the pandemic blew away most such good intentions. Key to that result was avoiding alcohol, other sugars and salt. Whole foods are good, organic is best and processed food is the worst.
In 2019, under 200 lb. for the first time in many years.A principal lesson that Ray James took away from his Chinese healing guru in The Return Trip was the importance of choosing beneficial food, and I believe that’s a universal truth, even as we may instinctively gravitate to the mouth-watering stuff. Personally, I’m also adjusting to an evolving vegetarian lifestyle, as the chef in a household that otherwise shuns meat eating. Thankfully, fish is on the menu. Men may have evolved from hunters to gatherers, but we still must go fishing.
With Off the Road, I hope to establish a dialog with readers, and an understanding that I am a reliable narrator, even if my characters are off the rails. Please let me know what’s on your mind. Got any good recipes? Meditations?
Beginning in January, I will be serializing my new novel on this blog, and will ask readers for their comments and suggestions. Rather than wasting time with literary agents, most of whom I’ve discovered are only looking for formulaic fiction, I will crowd-source the publishing process as my novel comes together, playing show-and-tell with readers. I hope you will enjoy the blog, and pass it along to others who also may be interested in our discussion.
My new novel, as I’ve described before, is nearly 50 years in the making. It was conceived as a “Coming Home” story and became one of many Vietnam novels that didn’t get written, in my case, or didn’t get published, for other veterans trying to unravel what happened in the war. Some great ones were written, too. My novel focuses on the home front, in a small town on the Ohio River where people were celebrating the nation’s bicentennial, on July 4, 1976. But they had little cause to celebrate.
An Arab oil embargo created an energy crisis affecting communities across the United States. Nixon resigned in disgrace, Saigon fell and created a wave of boat people seeking asylum. Gerald Ford became a caretaker president and 17 Democrats vowed to replace him. Jimmy Carter came to town, riding down Main Street in a convertible waving to the crowd that lined the avenue.
But the headline was the word on the street: People were struggling. Not only veterans returning from war, but also young people who graduated high school and hit the road in search of work. Inflation was soaring with energy costs leading the way, and then the economy cratered in 1975. The Unemployment Office was a regular hangout for a group of young friends. A couple of local brothers wrote this song:

When you describe an event in the most self-flattering, self-serving way possible but it's immediately clear that it was the other person who dodged a bullet.

Some really good writing days lately, especially this morning. I finished a story I first started writing back in... oh... 1993 I think? So, it's only 30 years old. I suppose technically you can call it a re-write, but I never did have a really solid ending for the original piece. The new ending is better, but it'll still need some work before I begin submitting it.

the kids are talking to my parents about their impending visit (trying to leave the house has been temporarily put on hold), and my dad’s explanation of losing a day when crossing the international date line from east to west is sounding suspiciously like the plot to the #Langoliers.
