The critical reflection at the start of this thesis outlines the ideas that have informed the production of my novel Any Belgian. The novel explores how cities offer creative possibilities for a writer, particularly in suggesting locations and for influencing the development of character and plot. The critical reflection also surveys the work of writers and critics who have commented on the nature of cities as palimpsests, and as places that serve as an emotional refuge.

  • Take the Long Way!
    JUNE l 2020 grothlawfirm.com (877) 375-7001 Take The Long Way! LONG WAY ROUND: In 2004, actors Ewan McGregor (of Star Wars fame) and Charley Boorman singlehandedly gave rise to the Adventure Touring segment of motorcycling with their 19,000 mile “Long Way Round” ride from London to New York. LONG WAY DOWN: The subsequent TV show chronicling their journey through Europe, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Siberia and then North America became a hit and spawned a sequel a few years later called “Long Way Down” which saw the boys go from the northern tip of Scotland to Capetown, South Africa. LONG WAY UP: Sixteen years later they suited up again to take on the challenge of riding the “Long Way Up” from the Southern Tip of South America to Los Angeles. This time the challenge was doing the entire ride on LiveWire electric motorcycles! When the news of their bike choice broke, the negative swell was quick to rise, but it was a smart move on their part to create a fresh and entertaining show and get the likes of Harley-Davidson on board. McGregor is a big proponent of the new “wave” of electric transportation and wanted to show the viability of the technology in the most challenging of circumstances. Patagonia and Bolivia were especially difficult as the Andean Plateau is known for its rough roads and little-to-no modern amenities. Watch this interview with Jimmy Fallon and hear what they did when they ran out of juice. Very funny! http://getmore-info.com/longwayup Win a 2020 Harley-Davidson FXDR 114 FEELING LUCKY?

CAST Minister : Minister of maritime affairs. A politician to the core. Pompous and crude by turns and a political mercenary. Dresses well. Aged between 55 and 60. Permanent secretary : A bitter, jaded, discontent bureaucrat aged around 60. Under-secretary : A typical sycophantic bureaucrat who is not very clever. Aged around 45. Bodyguard : Minister's bodyguard. Quiet, handsome and uneducated. Aged around 30. Cameraman : Works for private TV channel. He’s a irreplaceable man because of his good. Good- looking, bearded man. The most important is he’s likable smart mouth. Aged around 35. Reporter : Works for the same TV company. The only young and pretty face of the play. Aged around 25. Pilot : He’ll appear very briefly in the beginning. Because he had died he’ll be lowered from the chopper by his arms and legs, and in order for him to act as if not breathing, his must be placed out of view of the spectators. 2 PLACE: Not Turkey, because there is no ministry of maritime affairs in Turkey. TIME : The present. Theatral arts have been observed and practised since the evolution of mankind on Earth. When hunters returned from hunting they had to tell their stories to those who long awaited them with curiosity.

  • Conscience: the Mechanism of Morality
    And is not this universally true? If a man does something for the sake of something else, he wills not that which he does, but that for the sake of which he does it. -- Socrates1 This is my life's work, and that began with Ann-Ellen Marion and Dan White. Each in their own ways has shown me strength, courage, kindness and passion, the tensions of which ground my every conception. I often remember the fireflies and elderberries and evening crickets, the dogs and the trips to the north country. There, we witnessed otters sledding the steep snowy bank of a deep winter river, each after the others single file on slick brown bellies laid out in wet whiskered dives into the icy water only to gallop back and do it again. This text is testimony to that moment. Were I an otter, I would do it all again. Most dearly missed is Scott Jeavons: sunsets on the lake and skipping school. Good-bye. White – Conscience, the mechanism of morality .Preface: Men do not know how what is at variance agrees with itself. It is an attunement of opposite tensions, like that of the bow and the lyre. -- Heraclitus2 Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees. -- Lao tzu3 When the natural world changes, when objects like the ocean and the ozone change, we change. When the weather changes the science changes, never the other way around. Our stories are simply a series of adjustments over long periods of time taken in terms of the always current situation.

    KUBO ... AND THE TWO STRINGS Screenplay by Marc Haimes Chris Butler Story by Shannon Tindle Marc Haimes January 5, 2016 Director: Travis Knight Studio: Laika KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS 1/92 (0100 PRO) PROLOGUE BLACK A child’s whispered voice HISSES through the darkness... CHILD’S VOICE (V.O.) If you must blink, do it now! A full moon fills the screen like a giant, unblinking eye. * An eerie wind HOWLS through the night sky, and a wave * suddenly rises in front of the moon, eclipsing it from view. Another giant wave swells and we CUT WIDER to reveal-- EXT. OCEAN - STORMY NIGHT A tiny wooden fishing boat comes into view, tossed about by enormous waves, cresting hundreds of feet high. That’s when we hear it, weaving throughout the howls of wind. * Hopeful, inexplicable MUSIC. A sweet, chromatic MELODY.* It is being played by the boat’s lone passenger. A beautiful * Japanese woman with long black hair whipping in the wind. She * kneels as she plays a stringed shamisen instrument. * CHILD’S VOICE (V.O.) * Pay careful attention to everything * you see and hear...No matter how * unusual it may seem. * On the woman’s back we catch a glimpse of a woven bag embroidered with the image of a beetle. Before we can get a better look, our attention turns to a tsunami-sized wave, rising up silently in front of the boat, threatening to consume everything in its path. The woman raises her hand, strikes the strings on her shamisen, and the sea literally parts in front of her, allowing safe passage clean through the center of the chaos.
