Dialogue with my muse |
| JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. What are you up to today. JOE: Continuing my visit with Cynthia and Denis. CALLIOPE: Those names sound a little familiar. JOE: They are two of the main characters in my book, Marital Property. CALLIOPE: I see. How are the three of you getting along? JOE: Pretty well considering their dire circumstances with their marriage crumbling around them and their children at wit's end wondering what will become of them. CALLIOPE: Sounds like a mess. JOE: It is. Fortunately they are just characters I invented. CALLIOPE: From what raw materials. JOE: Partly from couples I have met over the years and partly based on how I would feel in their predicament. CALLIOPE: How does the manuscript look after a rest in the wine cellar. JOE: Not bad. I'm going through it sprucing up the grammar here and there but the plot and description don't sound too bad to me. CALLIOPE: Keep at it. JOE: I plan to. Talk with you tomorrow. |
