In-Specter John: December 2007
http://in-specterjohn.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 16, 2007. I've killed that fly a dozen times in the past three or so weeks, and yet each time I go outside for a smoke he's there waiting for me. I'm hot and miserable already. Sweat is dripping off my brow within a few minutes. It's too damn hot for confrontations. But that doesn't seem to matter because the fly buzzes around my head as though I were dead; picking at morsels of flesh and laying eggs in my scalp. I'm sure of it. I can't stand it anymore. What am I going to do? I've becom...

In-Specter John: The Marriage of Mole
http://in-specterjohn.blogspot.com/2009/08/marriage-of-mole.html
Saturday, August 15, 2009. The Marriage of Mole. Now, I have written a few paragraphs of this story and struggle with the structure. I had hoped to finish the draft and then archive this story for a while to age. Well I should work on it some this week and hope my muse will return so I can move on to the next story. The Marriage of Mole. There were just moments of solitude where he became remorse, but not angry with his situation. There were not special moments that he shared with anyone. He would propos...

In-Specter John: Seo Geap Dohtor
http://in-specterjohn.blogspot.com/2009/04/seo-geap-dohtor.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. This story is proving harder to write than I thought. But I will visit Belfast soon and hope to have the outline done by June. I like this story because it is set during the Irish conflict around the 1960's. There is a betrayal of a daughter and father conflict that I find interesting to write. Don't know exactly when it will be done, as I need several trips about Ireland to get the inspiration for all the characters and locations. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In-Specter John: July 2011
http://in-specterjohn.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 11, 2011. The Tort of Silence. Never have I wanted quiet will not come to me now. I had hoped to sit for three hours during my journey and write in peace. But as it is, I am being punished for what I do not know. Why was I given to be seated beside a woman who knows more words than I? How many hours must I continue this tort of my desire for silence? The minutes pass quickly and our train departs without silence as these two women resume their chatted discourse. I close my notes and sit ...

Sunday, July 27, 2008. Six months of dry heat. I'm working on another story while trying to complete Hannigan's Meadow. But the dry heat inside my head is keeping me from completing anything right now. I haven't updated my blog in just as long. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Six months of dry heat.

In-Specter John: Homeless writers.
http://in-specterjohn.blogspot.com/2008/08/homeless-writers.html
Sunday, August 17, 2008. I retrieved this essay for discussion because of the previous thread "Can I make a living writing" and I had another chat with a writer today who inspired my remembrance;. My god, I've had a few discussions over the months with writers who are destitute and living in shelters or sharing living arrangements with other people. I’m sickened by this…. I’ve heard such stories for many years. I closed my ears because I wasn’t one of them. Wonderful post, Jon and how true. There lay I, ...

In-Specter John: August 2007
http://in-specterjohn.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 17, 2007. I just saw Jesus in the closet. As I was leaving the restroom, I happen to peek inside the maintenance closet and that's when I saw the broom Jesus uses leaning against the wall. The broom was clearly marked with his name, Jesus. I rubbed my eyes and turned to the guy behind me "Did you know Jesus was in the closet? He walked around the counter and looked inside, then chuckled "Funny. That's a good one.". HmmmI think I just had a spiritual encounter. What do you think?
