Novel Syllabus 2024

This coming year I think I'm going to be on here more often than I am on twitter or elsewhere, and as part of that, I'm going to start documenting the process of writing my novel more actively. I want to return to/resurrect the momentum and energy I had while writing the first draft and be more intentional about setting aside time to work, even when it's difficult. Below are my writing goals for the coming year as well as my reading list of texts for inspiration, genre/background research, comps, etc. Would welcome any suggestions of texts (any genre/discipline) pertaining to Antigone, death & resurrection, Welsh and Cornish myth and folklore, ecology & environmental crisis, and the Gothic.

Writing Goals

Reach 50k words in draft 2 overall

Finish a draft of Anna's timeline

Finish a draft of Jo's timeline

Polish & submit an excerpt for the Center for Fiction Prize

Ruby Gillman: The Call of the Leviathan (Sequel Fanfic Idea)

Summary: After getting precognitive nightmares about the Leviathan, a giant mighty mythical sea snake feared by all, Ruby Gillman soon learns that she has made the grave mistake of indirectly releasing the beast from its ancient magical bonds. The task to undo this mistake is not an easy one by a long shot, and the key to it working is an alliance so shocking and unorthodox that it may just be insane enough to work. If this mission does not go according to plan, it may lead to the destruction of everything Ruby holds dear in her life. No pressure, right?

Paul Robeson, Irene Dunne, Hattie McDaniel, and Helen Morgan in Show Boat (James Whale, 1936)

Cast: Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Charles Winninger, Paul Robeson, Helen Morgan, Helen Westley, Queenie Smith, Sammy White, Donald Cook, Hattie McDaniel. Screenplay: Oscar Hammerstein II, based on his stage musical play from a novel by Edna Ferber. Cinematography: John J. Mescall. Art direction: Charles D. Hall. Film editing: Bernard W. Burton, Ted J. Kent. Music: Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics), P.G. Wodehouse (lyrics), Robert Russell Bennett (incidental music). 

Productions of Show Boat over the years are almost a barometer of the changes in racial attitudes. In the original 1927 Broadway production, for example, the opening song, "Cotton Blossom," sung by dock workers, contained the line "N------s all work on the Mississippi." The 1936 film changed the offensive word to "Darkies," which today is not much less offensive, so contemporary performances usually change the line to "Here we all work on the Mississippi." Today, we wince when Irene Dunne as Magnolia appears in blackface to sing "Gallivantin' Aroun'," a number created for the film, and we have to acknowledge that minstrelsy was still prevalent well into the mid-20th century. But Show Boat also presents structural problems. It is front-loaded with its best Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II songs: In the original production, "Make Believe," "Ol' Man River," "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man," "Life Upon the Wicked Stage," and "You Are Love" all appear in Act I, leaving only "Why Do I Love You?" and "Bill" for Act II, among reprises of some of the other songs plus some oldies like "After the Ball." The film doesn't solve that problem: In fact, it omits "Life Upon the Wicked Stage" and "Why Do I Love You?" entirely, except as background music. It replaces them with a few new songs, including "I Have the Room Above You," a duet for Magnolia and Gaylord Ravenal (Allan Jones), and "Ah Still Suits Me," a somewhat too racially stereotyped duet for Joe (Paul Robeson) and Queenie (Hattie McDaniel), but they're still part of the first half of the film. And the plot seems to dwindle off into anticlimax after Gaylord leaves Magnolia. But James Whale's film version is one of the most successful translations of an admittedly imperfect stage musical to the screen. One reason is that it gives us a chance to see two legendary performers, Paul Robeson and Helen Morgan. Robeson's version of "Ol' Man River" is not only splendidly sung, but Whale also gives it a magnificent staging, beautifully filmed by John J. Mescall, that emphasizes the backbreaking toil that Robeson's Joe sings about. Morgan's performance as Julie makes me wish that Kern and Hammerstein had given her more songs, but her "Bill" is extraordinarily touching, and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" becomes, after her introduction, a lively ensemble number for her, Dunne, McDaniel, and Robeson. It's also good to see McDaniel in a role that gives her a chance to sing -- she began her career as a singer. Too bad that Queenie's big number, "Queenie's Ballyhoo," was cut from the film. MGM remade Show Boat in 1951, with Kathryn Grayson as Magnolia, Howard Keel as Gaylord, and Ava Gardner as Julie, under the direction of George Sidney. Lena Horne wanted to play Julie, but the studio chickened out, fearing the reaction in the South. (Gardner's singing was dubbed by Annette Warren.) MGM also tried to suppress the 1936 film, which is vastly superior. Fortunately, it failed.

The trailer looked really interesting and I really like David Tennant.The movie had some strange editing choices. It’s unintentionally funny but not a movie thats so bad its fun. To give you a quick spoiler free review it’s about a valet who tries to rob David Tennant’s place. When he is about to leave he sees a woman tied up. The rest of the movie is him trying to notify the police but it becomes a “Cat and Mouse” game between the valet and David Tennant. But increasingly gets silly and overall the stuff that is s...

So in recent years I made a scrap book to collect all the clippings I saved from the ‘80s-’90s, right? Also ‘80s-related stuff that I found later on. All my ‘80s heroes are there, Marty McFly, Jareth, Tron, MacGyver, Michael Jackson, David Lee Roth, you name it. It’s mostly stuff I saved decades ago and some little I found recently in antique shops, posters etc. Also I’ve been kinda selective, I only kept stuf that moved me back then, not every movie or every celeb under the sun, right?

BUT OH LOOK, WHAT IS RALPH DOING THERE.

I swear to you I am NOT (ok I was not) a Ralph Macchio fan, hell, I wasn’t even a Karate Kid fan.

Ok I know, the “Outsiders” clipping impressed me a lot back then because everyone was in there, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, I was like whaaaat, how come?? 

But-but what is Karate Kid doing there?.. From the first TWO  films even. Τhose clippings were from 10 years ago, not the ‘80s when I first saw it. So was I, like, moved by the movie when I saw it again some time in 2007...? I remember exactly what I was thinking each time I saved a clipping. For this one... I just don’t.

And btw I didn’t see The Karate Kid 2 until recently so, again, what was a clipping from a film I never saw doing in my collection?

Let me translate the summary because it’s so cute and lol (exactly, why keep the summaries as well, why not just the pics?)

“Daniel, who lost his father, moves to L.A. where he finds it hard to make friends. In the meantime he becomes the target of a gang of karate students because he gets involved with Ali, their leader’s ex girlfriend. Daniel, who wants to confront the members of the gang as well as impress his girlfriend, asks from the Japanese Mr Miyagi, who is a martial arts teacher, to teach him karate. Miyagi teaches Daniel that the philosophy of karate is a way of life and that fighting should be the last resort. Under his teaching Daniel acquires the physical abilities as well as the confidence one must have to face adversity”. 

Oh. I know what made me do it. It was either my ‘80s mania or that Ralph charm, working its way into my brain without me noticing.
