....oh and in relation to those at the 'being john malkovich' desk - controlling those like fishwick....well, ray used to have the following up on his applemac desktop...as a 'joke' about his condition, let us say...a bit like a public 'brainwashing' toilet number?...and yes 'cocaine toads' like carney - would have inevitably told him that he had no 'insight' into his condition....lol...when you are able to see, in the kingdom of the blind etc etc or something like that....go figure:
....and that reminds me of a 'big pharm' horror movie, that i recently watched upon netflix...'the privilege'...hmmm....remember mark r and the 'prestige'...prestige vs privilege?....go figure:
oh and i am also reminded of a certain manual - produced by mills and boon, dazzlenation....regarding the computerised 'narrative' of the above privilege trailer video.....sent to me, whilst i was at dartington....you want to know the full story?....lol...i'll make it brief....in short, i passed it on to the SAS....captain scottie was to use it, within an SAS 'writing' module - regarding a certain 'field agent' team.....remember 'violet evergarden' etc etc?.....only one team member, managed to get his work published....the exercise was then cut short, when mills and boon....having suspected that something was up....and in relation to the same PO box, used for so many...scottie was to tell me "five or six" but it was a bit more, as far as i can remember....and yes, i had read a few of the entries and laughed my way through them...a bit like sue whalley's attempt at etc etc dazzlenation - see previous posts.....anyway, the upshot of it all, was...mills and boon had wanted to know who had 'guessed' their secret format etc etc....more laughter...anyway - yes, i had been so short of money, when i applied.....but then decided that as a 'feminist'...i could not condone etc etc....even though i had already sent off - what mills and boon had originally asked for....sent in a 'first page' with an outline of the following chapters.....to then receive 'the manual' by post...with a letter explaining that they liked my style but that the format could not be deviated from...not 30+ chapters but 14 or something like that etc etc...to then inform me and with a detailed account, i might add....of what their readership, expected - in each and every chapter etc etc...in short, it was a product to print-line job etc etc...for slim-line books bought at railway stations or the like....funny, that - oscar used to buy 'harry potter' books, to read whilst travelling upon eurostar...i would never have read one, until he introduced me to the series....the cover design had been so 'ghastly', you understand....and so having been too bored to do anything else and having read etc etc...i then began to remember......anyway, back to mills and boon.....formulaic to the nth degree....a bit like a diy kit....a bit like what 'john baker' and his doctor friends had done with a boiler manual...formulaic to the nth degree...and well, you can see how etc etc....men could have picked up on 'that one'....and if my memory serves me, correctly....ann fishwick had also chided her husband into writing one....."i'll be your editor" etc etc .......as it goes, eh?
....and yes, dazzlenation....i had asked whalley for 'something' regarding what stenson had recently said to her...about 'personal matters' - to then be told etc etc.....and yes, i had been her 'writing coach' at the time....see previous notes upon the last harry potter novel....anyway, the above had been written 'tongue-in-cheek'.....and it had amused sue, greatly....she then decided that 'writing' could be quite fun etc etc....go figure.
