Here’s my book options for the quarantine.

Quibble with the wording or not, Elmore Leonard has plenty of useful advice in this list, which can apply to all writers.

If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it. Or, if proper usage gets in the way, it may have to go. I can't allow what we learned in English composition to disrupt the sound and rhythm of the narrative

Hinky: A novel in progress excerpted. "Are you wearing a wire?" Yates knew they'd send in somebody to see if he would talk. He hadn't thought it would be his ex-wife. "When did you get a sense of humor?," she replied. "The last thing a blackmailer wants is for the blackmailee to be sent up the river." "At least you were always honest." Yates could actually talk now without inducing painful spasms. "God, is that what you think?" "What exactly are you doing here?" Yates was losing patience. He had a limited tolerance for her at the best of times. "A payment's coming due and I want to know how you're going to handle it." "Don't know that I can. Might be awhile before I get out of here." "Swear to God, Yates, if I don't get what's coming to me the pain you're feeling now won't begin to compare to what I inflict on you." "You been reading the Bible?" She used to be a devout church-goer before she turned to sex and money. "As a matter of fact, I have. Got a problem with that?" "Not me," he told her. "I got to the hotel room before he did and there was nothing else to read." "Whatever gets you hot," Yates muttered. "I want my money. You'd better give it to me." "I'm guessing we're all gonna get what's coming to us, so why not you?" On that note, she left without saying goodbye.

Chili Palmer is not a stereotypical loan shark. Collecting is just business. Hurting people who don't pay shouldn't be necessary when all you have to do is look at them with that certain look.😂😂 He is sent to collect an overdue debt from Leo Devoe, a dry cleaner and Harry Zimm, a small-time producer in Hollywood. Then, he decides to get into movie business. Through Harry, Chili meets an A+ actor, Michael Weir that might interest with his idea. The problem is that Chili doesn't know how the script is going to end yet. ♡ #donereading Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard #readingislife #readingisfundamental #readingisfun #readingissexy #readingismagic #readingchallenge2020📚 #igreads #bookstagram #goodreads #emabaca #getshorty #elmoreleonard #malaysiamembaca #bangsamembaca #keepcalmandread #octoberbookchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CHH0dLwF0NN/?igshid=1nc395ojw1seg

They’re here!!! Even though they were shipped last week, my first batch of “Justified” prints took a little trip through the USPS system and all over Southern California. However they are here now and they look terrific! For those who have been waiting, I do appreciate your patience! They are now live on my store, shop.marktavares.com! (..and yes I DID decide to up the run to 100 prints!)

It's really interesting how there's so many little differences between #elmoreleonard's RAYLAN and #Justified. The book was written at the same time as the #TV show was on, plus Leonard was involved in the latter as a producer ... So it can't be a question of changes *just* for adaptation's sake. What's more, plot points, characters and even bits of dialogue are lifted wholesale from the show, but spun in a different direction. Like #TheTestaments by @therealmargaretatwood (which also takes chunks of its predecessor TV show, #thehandmaidstale), RAYLAN feels like #transmedia in action.

Leaving for the Mojave Desert in an hour. Now questions regarding what to pack get serious. Among the most serious: what books to bring? The selection is critical. #mojave #mojavedesert #mojaveartistinresidence #desert #travelbooks #timothyegan #juliuscaesar #elmoreleonard https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kdgXmlx7n/?igshid=1529tgyv3602t
