En Virkelig Virtuel Virkelighed.

It's a combination; quite difficult to make work: I certainly prefer those writers, that are able to describe a person with personality and as much 'details' as possible; even 'complications'... Written in 2, 3, 5 lines... A few master that skill, a (maybe) surprising example: Georges Simenon, most known for the many "Maigret"-crime stories... But try reading some of his 'real' / psychological novels... Masterly "painting" difficult figures with few words. Also, almost ofcourse, and also one of my overall favorite writers: Jess Walter. Especially in the masterpiece 'Beautiful Ruins'. He can do the same, with adding changes of the figures as the story developes. Masterly! There's several others, obviously, but these two... :-) And I should add, that I'm a writer, but thru the years have read quite a lot. :-) (Can't tag Jess Walter...?!?)

I have a question for you guys.

When reading a book, do you prefer detailed descriptions of characters or brief, vague descriptions? Reblog and put in the tags which you prefer, and whether you’re a reader, artist, writer, or whatever else.

Thanks!

Start/Slut no 3 / Anakron Fejl. Fra klippeafsatsen kan jeg se ned gennem hele dalen. Længere end egentlig muligt, da der ikke er nogen horisont. Det er ikke underligt. Selv det fjerneste, og det er virkelig fjernt, som til månen og retur-langt væk, står krystalskarpt. Jeg plejer vist ikke at være særlig skarpsynet, tværtimod. Udenfor dalen her, er jeg nok nærmere sådan en der nusser rundt uden…

The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of the world but those who fight and win battles that others do not know anything about.

Sommersjov.

Han går en tur. Eller turen går ham, det er uden betydning. Det betyder alt, alt er ikke meget, alt for lidt.  Himlen bliver hvidere, kommer tættere på. Presser hans skridt for skridt til krøllen asfalt op omkring hans fødder. Det er da bedre end brødkrummer, når tilbageturen skal findes. Han holder øje med et vendepunkt. Der burde være tydeligere skiltning!  En metalgrøn hæk kvidrer som besat.…

And that now is now! As it is every time...

Then it happened again. Again-again-again... I don't know how this will make my writing better. Wrong: It does, I just don't know how or why. (Laurie and me and the book we read, and the writer of that book, are becoming more and more clear. Fiction or not.) Anyway, it happened: At this place, I had a dinner that couldn't make it past 100 DKK / 12 €... Including main course of beef (a lot!!) with salad and 'batatas fritas', bread, half bottle of vinho tinto, desert, coffee, and an (old!) brandy that for sure wasn't small... And the couple that has the place, were simply nice. And yes, I know those unbeliable prices partly are a result of the 'crisis'. BUT! It IS also a cultural thing: Here in Portugal you live your life so much more on café's and restaurants. It's as simple as that. You don't stay in your home; you get OUT! The streets are part of your home. And, besides a lot of other stuff, it makes people less isolated. More a part of the local community. And that can only be a good thing! Period!

Vejret. Og julen! Og... Noget? Vistnok.

Enkeltstående udsagn og meninger uden sammenhæng.  Rækkefølgen er tilfældig. Og iøvrigt mest for at sætte noget på en side, taste nogle ord. Ikke af nogen særlig grund. Ikke fordi det er nødvendigt. Det må det så alligevel være, ellers ville jeg vel ikke bruge tid på det? På hvad?    Hvis ikke andet, ja så er det juletid. Og vejret! Dét kan altid skrives om. Det er et sted at starte:  Livet…

Juleeventyr. Sådan ca., ok knap nok, men...

Gennem efterhånden mange år, har det enkelte år mindre og mindre at sige. Vi, nogle af os, klamrer os til hver eneste dag. Vi vil så gerne nå igennem til natten og nok en dag, det er i sig selv et mål. Engang måtte der også gerne være noget i de dage. Bare ét eller andet. Og en del længere tilbage var nætterne også med et indhold, udover søvn. Eller søvnløshed. Der er en slags søvn, en drøm, et…
