I wander far down the line of fanship in meeting great writers and
achievers the whole way ... but someone once asked
me -- do
I sacrifice my own beliefs and ideals to fall in line with these
great people in the realms of my imagination or do I ever
question their right or authority over me to tell me how
to be what to think and what to do.
Well I do and,to all those critics - I met the criticism and found on
today''s blog from California Literary Review a reference to
Jon McGregor and his writing and I must admit I regarded it
as outside my sphere until they referred to Roddy Doyle who
is definitely from my region of writing.
I had been interested in pursuing what The United States of
America holds as true these days and discovered from the
internet that its the Francis Ford Coppola films reference
the GodFather Trilogy so I diligently got out my DVD on
Godfather III and watched yet again - Al Pacino cry over
the gunning down and eventual murder of his co actor - Ms Coppola
Michael Corleone and daughter Mary are the parts these
two actors play/ Mary is Coppola''s flesh and blood and her
name is Sophia Coppola and she is the same age as my sons ... so I
supposethats the link the local boys provide in the DVD shop where I bought this
very popular DVD/Godfather lll.
I suppose in California according to the Literary Review they dont
worry too much about the intense competition from Movies as
writers - and they sell their books and scripts like Roddy Doyle did to Film Companies -
and make a packet and become the new millionaires of the
world! Wow! I would like to do that ....
