Day 23: Ducks and Illuminati Splinter Groups

MAN my writing today was weird. It's very me, though. I'm still learning my style, discovering it, chipping at the core of my own voice and trying to find the way to say what I want to say the clearest. What I want to say is apparently very odd (though why shouldn't it be.) I swing between political commentary, historical analysis, dead serious insight into human nature, make a joke, compound that joke, then swing that joke around into dead serious insight into human nature again. Or that's how I hope it comes across at least. I make a lot of jokes in this, and I don't really like "making" jokes because they just seem so obvious and unfunny to me, and also there's the part where they jar with the rest of the voice that I'd been working in but like I said maybe that is part of my style and there are no bugs, only features.

Being forced to write so quickly really helps. With the style thing. Though I did frequently pause for research and everything as well of course. Is it enjoyable? I don't know if today's stuff is any good or not.

ps I wanted to say something about Magic in the Mirror, but that movie won't come out until 1996, so. also I wanted to make a joke about spell check, which isn't anachronistic or anything (that poem about eye have a spelling chequer dates from around this time,) but I couldn't find a place for it. But that poem is from around this time! 91 or 92, first published in 96ish. So yeah.
