I decided not to sell. Both units are now rented, the 2 bedroom well below market, the tenant in the middle of a divorce apparently not coming through on his full commitment has me just a little ticked off, not to worry though as this guy seems fully up to speed, my “hand holding” him thru a couple of the light journeys others have been thru not to screw around with the Rattlesnake, this communiqué which I just posted on the eraider.com website perhaps, perhaps not an improvement in my style?

 

A lot going on and I know u can feel it.

 

Take a careful look at the “this” hyperlink which I drafted rather quickly considering the distractions, my wanting to comply with Glen Shapiro’s edict to “not take 42 detours for every point you wish to make”, perhaps the most ingenious part of his missive yesterday was what he placed in brackets, the full text u can c below

 

Finding you a literary agent might be tough:

 

Let's break it down - I think you do need a little help with finding an "agent".  And I think you do need more than just a little help with the part about "literary". 

 

I think you will need a sample chapter that is intriguing and compelling and does not take 42 detours for every point you wish to make.  From my own reactions and the reactions I have read from others that you have shared, I think your style is best described as exhausting. And often does more to help people miss the point than get it.

 

I have been reading along for quite some time now. and I dare say without equivocation that if you were on trial for telling a story in a succinct and attractive way, I do not think I would be able to point out enough evidence to convict you.   Even the most determined prosecutors might give up.  I sense you might have more of a challenge on this point than you are willing to admit (which means there will be no conviction by confession either). 

 

I am willing to help you with the sample chapter.  Once polished and stylistically acceptable to both you and the rest of this world - we can shop for that agent - but that might take quite a while. If you already have the acceptable and neatly packaged sample chapter -- let me know and I'll feel better about the probability of success. Without that, if you are already shopping, then that's a wonderful picture of Gary's cart standing immediately in front of Gary's horse - more capable of going in reverse than forward.

 

This is my example of somewhat succinctly making a few points.  Can you write back in a similar manner?

Please remember - I am your friend and I am trying to help.

Glenn’s request that I seek help in “confessing” my fricken sins came in response to this gobbledygook from me, so much for taking on a Simon & Schuster “top dog” who hasn’t let his formal education interfere with his learning, no doubt some folks might think that his decision to hire me 15 odd years ago on the day my non compete ended with IMS was so that he could get “cheap sex” then again who really cares about the truth these days?

 

One friend in the city felt that I should just walk in the door to office of United States Attorney Spitzer, tell him something along the lines of very very very famous Federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein speaking to me in a dream suggesting that I come and unload the same sort of goods I presented in the landmark repetitive stress injury case this time it should even be easier considering that there are 2 Grand Juries supposedly looking to indict Milberg Weiss and their prostitutes from eRaider.com but something tells me that is not the smartest thing I can do with my time right now, that maybe both Grand Juries were nothing more than a rouse to clear the way for “more of the same”, my better off talking with all the doormen up and down the upper east side?

 

Tomorrow I am going to chat with the Hearsts doormen encouraging them first before sticking their hands in their pockets, handing over to me-nextraterrestial.com one of those $100 travelers checks that William Randolph Hearst would dish out, different to Ronald The Finagle King Perelman being dissed out of the Hearst’s co-op, to first visit the Nextraterrestrial.com website that I suspect is getting possibly more than 3 million hits on average per day, my fully aware that there is an orchestrated attempt by at least one group of adversaries, no reason to suspect that any of them would be idiotic enough to enter into a conspiracy, hoping, however, that by making it look like the hits are coming in from all over the planet I would “blow my load”, my credibility going down the tubes?

 

Perhaps they c this as the only way to push me further into the desert, my very much enjoying dessert this evening along with the terrific meal served in a kibbutz like setting, the prices here at the Hudson only an Israeli as crooked as Israel’s first family could afford and then of course to soften the blow to my pocket book was this French Canadian lady to my right not quite my partner-wife helping tho point me in the “write direction” [non-sic], my simply attracted to her being left handed as she made hand written notes like there was no tomorrow.

 

So many people into reading including Derrick’s kid who at age 7 had no difficulty reading my abbreviations, a writing revival in the works?

 

Then again us Americans are in so many ways behind the times, my so wanting to let the likes of you know certain facts that Derrick has brought to my attention that dovetail my very worst fears about the fragile nature of the American economy, the likes of your father while wanting “everything to work” may not even have enough time to “kick himself” if in fact folks who couldn’t be trusted to keep their big mouths shut were to have overheard a series of our conversations in the past couple of days, such rapacious individuals pursuing once again personal economic opportunism ahead of the common good, does the name of not yet disgraced enough George Soros ring a bell, my reminded once again of Hillel’s famous words,

 

If not now then when?

If I am only for myself who am I?

If I am not for myself who is for me?  

 

Time to get some sleep.

PS – I know u won’t object if I include Mr. Debonair JRK on this missive and then sum.
