At this point, if I could fire Michaels Godfather and change it to you, I would. But ironically Michael has 2 deadbeat Godfathers, so can I hire you anyhow? Michaels father is an even bigger fan of you than me so he'd be down. We could have Chelsea ordain it........ couldn't we?
You are a father of many, hasn't anyone ever told you that?
P.S. After I won the Valentine's I sent the whale video to Wally Lamb. I guess I accidentally found his personal Facebook which was weird that he was always posting pics of his grandkids! And I know he saw it back then but I guess I've been entertaining him enough to comment on my photo today. He is from Connecticut so I bet that's how I got in his sphere???? Who knows who cares cuz he's cool as fuck!
You may be child-free, but your legacy lives on. I'm taking a workshop this week at an art school in Tribeca. Walking around during breaks, I'm seeing the Fight Club logo stenciled on sidewalks all around the neighborhood. (No idea for what specific purpose. It seems completely random. But it makes me smile.)
For my daughter it is more or less giving her guidance I wished I would have gotten as a child at her age. So I guess revisiting those aspects. I get to be the Mother and the Father in a lot of aspects
Have you ever made a change to your habits/life/self as a result of resolving an issue with fiction?
A (hopefully entertaining) example: You have a problem with your job. Beating powerful businessmens and politicians feet with a lead cored stick just aint what it used to be. Theyre getting older and whinier and youve developed carpal tunnel. So you write a character that gets out of beating feet by going to night school, and follow suit.
the main thing I recall from my drug-fueled college days, is that literature ( reading or writing) in essence is that it raises stuff to the surface, and amazingly some stuff that we aren't even aware of.
And you've got Egg! Better than a child in my view. Dogs are just better people. And there's too many homosapiens anyway, so if a person doesn't have a child, that's perfectly cool.
Speaking of legacy - which includes your students.
I've spent a fair about of time trying to figure out Amazon self-publishing and audible. There must be 100+ hours of recorded story night stores. Just a thought:
Audible - "Stories by Chuck Palahanuik's students - Works in Progress".
Some editor-to-be puts it together and gets the first $_______ (whatever that is worth). The rest goes to Chuck's favorite animal shelter charity or wherever Chuck wants.
Please don't be annoyed. Just a thought and I realize you might not want to lend your good name to work that needs more work.
Breeding is an expensive and overlay committed means by which to gain a few life lessons, and it's a crap shoot; more mistakes are guaranteed, learnings not so much.
Great posts as always. Thank you.
Steve as soon as I update my card I'm resubscribing...I wish I had someone for clerical things.....I'm missing out!
No worries. Many thanks for all your support—and everyone else too!

Yup, I've considered Chuck to be like a secondary father for a while now.
When you look at your body of work, does it seem more like a kind of diary to you?
Chucks lactose intolerant.
This needs verification. Someone needs to sneak an air humidifier with milk poured into it somewhere in a room with him. It’s the only to be sure.
He sent back the life sized cheese sculpture I made.
Without any bite marks on it?
The dog got a few plugs out of the ankle before he packed it back up.
May cheese Achilles stand -- hobble? -- as a shining, and stinking, example of man’s ignorance of artistic endeavor.
Do diaries contain dairy? 🤔
Hopefully you'll consider being a Godfather to Satan babies...

What about a story that ends on a surrogate second chance?

Kids are wonderful and all that, a blessing, but I have to give it to books. They are easier to produce and never poop.

Thank you for this. I needed to hear it.
