My Twitter friend Baxter Holmes sent me this Kurt Vonnegut video the other day. He said my post on everything you need to know about storytelling in 5 minutes reminded him of this. Kurt pulls it off in 4:37.
Probably because of this, I had a dream a couple of nights ago that Vonnegut was showing me around a college campus. I kept hoping he’d dispense writing tips. But all he talked about was exercise. More walking, he said. Some light jogging is good, too.
I’m trying, Kurt.

I remember when he was in that movie with Rodney Dangerfield and he wrote a term paper for him. The professor in the movie gave it a bad grade and said that whoever wrote it had no idea about Kurt Vonnegut. Have always liked him. Wish I could remember the title of the movie, but it escapes me at the moment…LOL…
