Writing About Writing but Not Writing About Writing About Cats REVISED

Correction, This is How You Write About Writing but Not Writing About Writing About Cats

How do you write about writing but not writing? Also, how do you write about writing without saying I? Technically I just said I so I just broke the rules. Technically, right now, Lena is writing but shes not going to write about writing shes just going to write. But then if Lena writes about cats and only cats is that writing? Yes, it's writing but it's not writing about writing it's just writing about cats. Lena could write a whole book on cats. Big cats, small cats, medium sized cats...if there is such a thing? But if Lena were to write a book about cats would you consider that a book about writing or a book about cats? Or would you consider it a book about writing about cats. To write a book about cats, I need to become one with The Cat. I sit in this seat no longer as Lena but as a frisky feline reincarnated. I now prefer to be called Mr. Whiskers III. These are the steps you and I must take into becoming full fledged felines:

Step 1: Shed all human necessitates including clothes.

Step 2: Make sure to rub up creepily against neighbor's legs. They'll freak out and most likely call the cops since your naked but no matter you must embody the essence of CAT.  

 

Step 3: Always remain clean, remember to lick yourself clean twice everyday.
*Side-note: Please avoid groin area, Although your a 'Cat', that's just nasty. 

Step 4: Worship THE STRING there is nothing more important than the string.

Step 5: Let your owner pet you from time to time, not too much though, make them work for it.

Step 6: Roll around in any bundle of clothing you find. Make sure to shed hair over clothes (Initially marking your place).

Step 7: Stand in front of the TV while your owner is watching said TV. Just letting them know your still there.

Step 8: The toilet no longer exists, you must use the poop box.

Step 9: Keep other cats close, Keep dogs closer (they are not to be trusted).

Step 10: First rule of being a cat, you do not talk about 12 Steps.

Step 11: Second rule of being a cat, you do not talk about 12 Steps.

Step 12: Most Important step to becoming a full fledged cat, NEVER SCRATCH THE COUCH

So is this blog about cats or is it about writing, what do you think?

Good Brother, it's good for you! Or maybe not? Nope, it is.

Good Brother Description

How do you describe Good Brother? One word…MUD. Or maybe MOON. Okay more than one word. What about GIRL? I still don’t know who Girl is. Girl is everyone, mother, sister, and maybe even Brother? Who are the Good Brothers? They are FISH. “I drove that rusty nail right through Brother’s hand.” Why??? Religious Metaphors are a factor but not the book in its entirety. You can’t help but think of Jesus and the crucifixion. Offensive? Maybe a little. I’m not quite sure. Good Brother could simply be a coming of age story but it seems like it should be more than that. You can read this story however you want to. In my mind it said, “Right on Brutha!” Black ‘brutha’? Nope, that’s not it. Sorry, wrong type of ‘brother’. What kind of Brothers are we dealing with? The kind of brothers that can die but come back to life in different forms. That answers one question? Not really, it answers none of the questions. Question: What is Good Brother About? Answer Key: You can’t really describe Good Brother with one answer. Good Brother is many answers. Good Brother is every answer. 

Mud Analysis

“We did not like it much when our Mother made us wash the mud from off the bottoms of our muddy boots. We liked mud and those dirty river smells that smelled of fishing and worms.” Mud is everything in this story. The Brothers live for the mud and I began to think the Brothers were mud themselves. According to Brian Evenson “Markus shapes and reshapes river and mud into a protean world perpetually reasserting itself…” I agree. The mud is multiple things. The mud is multiple meanings.The mud is everything.

Good Brother Revisited

Lesson to be learned: We’re all good brothers. We love Mud. And We don’t know who Girl is but she seems to be very important.

I didn’t like the book but I would recommend it only because it’s good to read things that are completely out of your comfort zone and a little strange. The only warning I would give to the reader is: CAUTION PREPARE TO BE MIND-F**KED.
