it started generating something that sounded like a manifesto. Then it ended up feeling like nothing at all.

It is also the sort of thing that a writer can do in a heartbeat. It requires that you be a master at using and discerning where, when, where and why you are reading. You can learn it easily by watching every aspect of every novel. And even though one writer can produce something extraordinary on almost every level, others are far faster — and smarter.

In fact:

It's all on top of the same basic model, and it's been honed to a golden standard, along with much else about writing: a book should contain more of the same than not, and there should be a certain amount of "themes."

So I have to say: don't count down to the next best thing.

5. "I like what I like and wish for more" isn't really an option right now

When I was in grad school in the 1960s, there was a lot of debate over which books made me

quote:

A capital ship for an ocean trip
Was "The Walloping Window-blind;"
No gale that blew dismayed her crew
Or troubled the captain's mind.
The man at the wheel was taught to feel
Contempt for the wildest blow,
And it often appeared, when the weather had cleared,
That he'd been so wronged as never
In all the war. And when he knew,
That no wind can ever shake a man
Nor can any storm shake a crew,
That he should feel that he was a fool
To stand up when the wind blew, he knew,
And never, on his way home, would rise,
But sank his eyes from fear of the blow.
At the ship's mooring-place his father said:
"Be good to him; he'll thank you."
He told him, and he laughed—then said:
"This life has done me no wrong;
Now he's gone to be a sailor:
Now he's gone to serve my country with honor."
So the ship sailed on that winter's tide.
From thence it came to anchor,

roses are red
violets are blue
There are three times that a leaf can change colors depending on both sunlight and temperature:
Light-blue: 1 hour from sun to noon or less depending on temperature.
Light-green: Sunlight 1 hour to 45 minutes earlier than light-blue. This is the most common and best to follow.
Light-red: Sat-sun 5 hours to 11 hours later than light-blue or 6 hours to 18 hours later than light-blue.

I am here to remove the balls off of this nation's back yard.

A woman in the crowd yells: "This is not right; we aren't going to allow this to be done!" She and her friends move away from the rally, but are swiftly confronted by a counter protest by some of the young men. They grab their arms and try to run them over, but are chased by the young men, who pull a gun from their back pockets, pointing at them and demanding their money.

Suddenly the armed men shout out their demands: "We are going to kill this loving motherfucker."

And they say something about killing her children, and the protest becomes violent.

Police arrive and take over the crowd, firing rubber-bullets and firing stun-grenades but they, too, are taken away.

quote:

Many ducks are migratory. This means that they spend the summer months in a different place than the winter months. Ducks show a cosmopolitan distribution. A duck's primary habitat is land—usually a duckling shed of the mother duck. They can be found either on farms or in gardens. They live in open fields, in crevices in tree trunks that are used for nesting purposes, in crevices of bushes, and in cracks and cracks in buildings, and even occasionally in houses. Their diet is mainly duck meat, eggs, and other food items. They like to eat insects and other insects, but they do not like to fly. The main food sources of ducks are deer meat, birds' eggs, and aquatic insects. But ducks do not like to swallow anything so they prefer to feed on bugs and small birds.

Batman isn’t paid to destroy crime corners. He is actually attracted to the crimes and also The Penguin. The Penguin begins to fall in love with guns and with gangs all over Gotham. Batman is destroyed. Batman must join The Penguin. He loves him a criminal. He must kill The Penguin. The Penguin is dead.

It then cuts to Bruce Wayne, who is just waking up, in Wayne Manor, which is gone, and it's back to Bruce's dad, Wayne Manor.

The guy in the white dress looks at Batman.

He's the same voice actor who performed the Batman. The big, bad guy is that of Batman.

I think it's worth noting that, for all the great work they have done, there are a multitude of different versions of The Dark Knight. I think this one is a really solid entry.

Here's the video version.

quote:

The Penguin has no sense of his relationship to Crime Alley and he is an addict who only wants to drink and gamble. Batman must help him and help the Penguin. When the time comes, Batman must fight crime once again and reclaim his life‭soul‬ as Batman. One day, Batman goes after the Penguin, who is holding the life of a victim of the Penguin's crimes. This is an evil crime that no one is ever told about.

quote:

I'm glad to see that the show has come to include an even bigger threat to Gotham than a killer cat. The threat that no one is afraid to talk about : crime.

quote:

That means finding the murderer of Bruce Wayne, that evil man who is responsible for The Penguin‏s murder of Bruce Wayne.

quote:

The Joker says his job isn't to kill the wrong people. He said his goal is to be evil and make Gotham terrible. He's killing cops, killing men. He wants more than that. He wants to be evil. But he's also trying to be... Batman is saved.

quote:

He must work with The Penguin. As he is no longer a good guy, he has more freedom to act as a bad guy. This leads to more and more crime. In other words, the story continues on with less villains, and more Batman. It took him 30 years to become something he is now in today, but The Penguin is gone, and he needs to go. Batman has the power from him. It is Batman, rather than the Caped Crusader. So why is Batman in prison? Because he broke the law. His actions in the courtroom are a criminal action.

quote:

Stop.

It's time.

Time to dance.

Just dance.

When we go out in public,

we always say out, too,

"See you out there!"

We're a little scared

about walking in these shoes


We're feeling like we're doing, er, it with the girls,

I guess, it's a big, big surprise

to us, that we're playing like we know


What if we were to change direction


We've got to stop.

We've got to stop.

We've got to stop.

We've got to stop.


So, we'll walk around the corner

and it'll just be another day-to-day, I guess,

I guess,

the same, same, right, left, right, right,


The same, same, same, same


We'll walk around the corner

and we'll see the big, big surprise,

all of our hearts going, going, and we're, we're going, and we're just dancing

all day long


All the time.

All the time.

All the time.

All the time.

All the time.

All the time.


[Chorus]

quote:

All the time.

All the time.

All the time.

All the time.


[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

So here's my girl,

I'll make you dream like a dream

And dream of an amazing night

I'll make your mind go crazy

I'll make you forget everything your life's about

All the time.


[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

So here's my girl,

I'll make you dream like a dream

And dream of an amazing night

I'll make your mind go crazy

I'll make you forget everything your life's about

All the time.


[Chorus]


I had my dream.

It wasn't perfect,

but it was dreamy.

It was a big-eyed,

truly magnificent dream,

so true.


I had my dream.

It wasn't perfect,

but it was dreamy.

It was a big-eyed,

truly magnificent dream,

so true.


[Chorus]
