Photo of the Night: Air 3 by C.A. MacConnell
I have a series of plane and sky shots. This is one of my favorite ones. Hope you had a beautiful day. Lately, I've noticed I'm becoming more outgoing, especially on the job. I'm actually an extreme introvert by nature, but I enjoy performing, teaching riding and such, being in front of a crowd. And working is sort of like a performance sometimes, really. Why not? They say.... Act as if...sometimes it really helps. When I think of it like that, it's rather fun.
There are hilarious characters all over grocery stores and no matter what store, each section tends to have a mood...the meat guys are always hilarious, quick, sarcastic jokesters. Hanging with the meat guys is like a constant standup routine; I love it. The produce guys are rather quiet and yet, they'll shoot out hilarious, one-liner deep thoughts every now and again and when they do, they're golden and can't be matched. Unlike the meat guys, who keep going and going, the produce guys can deliver a line that'll silence everyone. The deli people are always stressed and straight up. The bakery...they keep to themselves, but they're all rather content. And dairy, that's a whole other planet altogether -- those guys are off the charts, always; there is no figuring them out, so don't try. I love it, because you never know what to expect. One day, jokes. Next day, silent. Still another day, quick jabs. And another day, they'll be heartfelt and warm. One person's quiet. The other's loud. Somebody's always hyper-stocking. Can't ever pin dairy down. There's no category for it. Dairy and meat are my favorites. Because of the elusive nature of dairy...and my good friend who was the manager at one time...that sparked my fourth book, THE HOLE. Of course, the book went on a whole other journey altogether, but my friend got a kick out of helping me with details about dairy, and I still look for him every day, but he passed away a few years ago. In THE HOLE, you'll also see the influence of the meat guys in the dialogue between my character, Lucas, and his coworker...my interactions with the meat guys bled into the book, and it's rather ingenious and hilarious. You'll see.
Check out THE HOLE...it's intense, spooky, smart, and thrilling, as well as funny at times. I loved writing it. One thing that's good about my OCD...I can shuffle away quotes and character voices like no one else; my brain files them away, and they come out flying when I'm writing books. I see it as a gift now. :)
Love to you,
