Criminal Conversation

A man (character 1) and a woman (character 2) are in a hotel room. The woman is packing frantically while the man stares out the window.

1: Do you have the diamond?
2: Of course. I'm not as careless as I look.
1:  (muttering under his breath) You'd be surprised...
2: What's that supposed to mean?
1: You know exactly what I meant, so why did you even ask? THAT is why I worry about you.
2. Well just stop it. Everything will work out and then we'll meet up and then...(looks whistful)...nevermind. Wallace is waiting downstairs to arrest you.
1: Yep.
2. Soooo what're you gonna do about it?
1. Ever seen Wallace's ankle?
2: (gives him a strange look) uh...no?
1. Then you wouldn't know.
2. Then tell me.
1. And that is why you're as inexperienced as I've always expected. I can't just tell you. That'd make life too easy and it'll lead you to the wrong answer. Never forget that.
2. I don't understand...
*As Wallace bursts in, the woman quickly sneaks out onto the fire escape*
3: Hands up, Pierre. I've got you this time.
1: Took you long enough.
3. Just tell me what I want to know.
1. Ahhh you're taking the easy route. Fine.

Creative Writing...where imagination saves the day

Musings on 1984

The internet is a pretty creepy place, if you think about it. 
The stalking possibilities are ENDLESS! 
A few months ago, I reread George Orwell's 1984. It made me think about how dependent we are on the internet and  computers. In the book, no one physically writes things down. Instead, they use telescreens or speakwrites. Honestly, I love the process of writing things down on paper. It stimulates my creative juices, setting them into overdrive. Maybe that's why I struggle writing interesting things on the blog. Maybe the fact that I'm sending my words out to whoever wants to access them subconsciously freaks me out. 
Well, that's all I've got. If this were on paper, I'd probably have a few more witty comments, but I'll save them for my future novel that I'll eventually write...on paper.

We Bought a Zoo

So, I'm a movie junkie. I love way too many movies to count, so I'm just going to talk about my most recent discovery:                                  We Bought a Zoo


We bought a Zoo is about a family who lost their mother/wife. To repair family ties between Benjamin Mee and his children, Benjamin buys and restores an old abandoned zoo. The plot line is cute and has a lot of cool quotes.


Benjamin Mee: You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it. 



  1. Rosie Mee: How come you don't tell stories anymore?
  2. Benjamin Mee: Well, because we're livin' the story.

Duncan Mee: If you're doing something for the right reasons, nothing can stop you.



Benjamin: Hey Rosie, am I doing anything right?
Rosie: You're handsomer than the other dads. Lots of them don't have hair. So that's good.
