Palmeira Cica, você sabe como cuidar?

Hoje vamos falar sobre uma planta para quem tem um pouco mais de espaço em seu terreno, a Palmeira Cica.

When I started the writing course I had never written anything very long and I found it astounding that some of my fellow students had unfinished, abandoned, or just unpublished manuscripts. Some were published, and I get that, that’s meeting your audience. But I found it hard to wrap my head around the idea that you’d put that much work into something for it never to be shared with anyone else. Now I know. My relationship to Different Day is ambivalent, especially now I’m writing again. Look! I’m more than 12 000 words in, and it’s only been a couple of weeks.

This kind of writing is generally not considered ‘the work’ as in the real work that your do for other people to see. It’s what Helen Garner is doing in the books that are sold as her diaries, but she has written lots of fiction and journalism and many more other kinds of books, and I imagine these books were published as a kind of afterthought, certainly after she was well known. I think that’s a bit sad, really. I like them a lot and although I liked Monkey Grip fine, I was so aware it was a fiction even if it was based on her lived experience, that it felt artificial by comparison to the notes, free writing, or whatever comprised the diary books.

I get that people have a second string that helps them sell their books - Garner did a lot of journalism and Goldberg teaches as well as writing and painting. I’m not in a position to do anything else. I have so few spoons or usable hours, or how ever you want to fame it.

I have a bath in the afternoon, although I hate going in the mould covered bathroom now. I need the bath for pain relief and I need to wash my hair. Afterwards I lie on the bed and look out at a pink throw and a pink jumper I’ve hung out on the whirligig. The bright sunshine on the washing and the yellow of the line on the whirligig is effervescent. I dry my hair and look at the dress I have hanging on the outside of the wardrobe. I think it could be worn back to front for a different neckline I think, but I’d have to pick the thread holding the label on. I have a seam ripper in my sewing box and remember how Nana used to call hers a quick unpick and I think this must have been a brand name but googling it it doesn’t seem like it was. It seems to share equal billing as a descriptor of the tool, a tiny curved knife with one sharp end, a curved edge, and another end to the edge with a blob of plastic which is red, which suggests a warning blob of blood.

I wake up to an aching foot and it’s pouring rain outside. I won’t have to do another walk during the week after this, so I gird my loins, harness the dog, and we head out. 

We go down to Palmeira and Adelaide and Lola is better in the rain there than when she has house or shop porches she can duck out of the rain into. She hares about and does her thing. I take a couple of pictures of the now dead or faded grasses and wild flowers on the unmowable verges, and there’s some flowers which seem to me to talk to the colour of the buildings beyond, but of course it’s not something I can quite capture with my phone camera. 

On my walk I realise that if I cut out the stand alone chapters about London and maybe Amsterdam, and maybe even Murakami, I might save Different Day after all. I’ve always been good at precis, and until now afraid that I won’t make whatever the word count is, for academic stuff. Even at art school I only made the 10 000 words by cutting the dissertation into 2000 word essays. Not sure I hit 10 000 even then. 

There’s no specific word count for a book, but as I intend it to be an audiobook, and each book is costed by credit units, and I feel short changed by anything under six hours and prefer 8 or longer, I was still straining to get a decent length out. In the early days of writing I had the recent autism diagnosis to metabolise as well, then there’s the sea change of getting a migraine preventative which actually worked, and then towards the end there’s the bolt-on of starting HRT late in the day as well. All of these things are overshadowed, in the telling, by the deaths of my dad and then my dog. Really, those are the real events in as much as I write them in the process of them happening and they flow. The medical stuff is real to me, but getting used to those griefs is of a different order and I think perhaps I write them badly. 

I don’t know. 

But still, I think, giving myself the option of cutting longer passages might give me a chance to give Different Day the kind of flow I’ve got here. Okay, editing is not the same of writing, but perhaps having cultivated the energy of flow here I can reengage and not just butcher it.
