Living for what we believe in is life itself
And that in itself is beautiful, iight

Yeah, gotta say what’s up to my n—a Slick Rick
For those who don’t like it, eat a d–k
But for those who with me, sing that s–t
As it go a little something like this

La Di Da Di, we likes to party
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody
We’re, just some n—az who’re on the mic
And when we rock up on the mic we rock the mic (right)
For all my Doggs keepin y’all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cuz it’s cool when ya cause a cozy conditioning
Which we create, cuz that’s our mission
So listen close, to what we say
Because this types of shit happens every-day
I woke up around 10 o’clock in the mornin
I gave myself a stretch up, a mornin yawn and
went to the bathroom to wash up
I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
and said um “Mirror mirror, on, the wall
Who is the top Dogg of them all?”
There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
The mirror said, “You are you conceited bastard”
Well that’s true, that’s why we never have no beef
So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
Used Oil of Olay, cause my skin gets pale
And then I got the file, for my fingernails

Alright, to switch it up…something different, the continuation of the interview with Blue Lines author Kenneth A. Suffern, Jr.

I: What inspires you?

KS: Life and experiences. Not mine, per se, but life and living in general.

I: Every writer has a method to his or her writing. On a typical writing day, how would you spend your time?

KS: In the beginning, my writing consisted of specific items. My (or borrowed) computer, my disks set out, I file of pictures relating to the story opened on the machine, some paper and music, whether playing on the computer (now iPod, or whatever).

I: How long does it take for you to complete a book you would allow someone to read?

KS: I would say that if I am focused on one piece of work, possibly about a year and a half to two years.

I: Do you write right through or do you revise as you go along?

KS: With Blue Lines I wrote the manuscript all the way through, and then I returned to the work to revise.

Origins of Blue Lines manuscript…Part 2.3

                … The Definition of Insanity cont.

In my attempts to keep my blog schedule consistent, I have to move in a different direction, but also keep with the nature and idea and essence of the origins of my manuscript.  While brainstorming about this installment, I thought that 1) I had drifted off course last week, and ended up rambling; 2) tried to focus on my responsibility in the path I walked along to get to the point of writing my manuscript.  If I were writing today, a great title, or a song title rather, that best describes this work would be “Intuition,” by Feist (if you are reading on MySpace it is in my playlist).

“And it’s impossible to tell

How important something was

And what you might have missed out on

And how it might have changed it all…

…Did I miss out on you.”

These lines perfectly sum up my situation, and why I wrote.  When something does not happen, in this case a relationship, you are always left to wonder…what if?  Therefore I used that “what if,” as the crux of finally taking the few pages that I had written, and determining the story, and true structure of my work.  I looked back at what I did wrong, or what I did not do.  I did not have that opportunity to fix what was not done, thus Blue Lines.
