I can’t stop listening to Halsey right now :)

The lyrics to New Americana…

Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles
Just what you’d expect inside her new Balenciaga
Vile romance, turned dreams into an empire
Self made success now she woes with Rockefellers

Survival of the richest
The city’s ours until the fall
They’re Monaco and Hamptons bound
But we don’t feel like outsiders at all

We are the new Americana
High on legal marijuana
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana
We are the new Americana

Young James Dean, some say
He looks just like his father
But he could never love somebody’s daughter
Football team loved more than just the game
So he vowed to be his husband at the alter

Survival of the richest
The city’s ours until the fall
They’re Monaco and Hamptons bound
But we don’t feel like outsiders at all

We are the new Americana
High on legal…

Stephen King

Brilliant writer. I can see why he is so popular. His writing is bold and dramatic. It drips with sensory description. He is so good at using every sense to give it an immersive feel.

I’m reading Misery based on SleepySerpent’s recommendation. I love his description of Annie. It is as much about how she comes across to the protagonist as it is about how she actually looks.

I’m enjoying the story much more than expected. I find myself admiring how he crafts the sentences and paragraphs.

Reading well written fiction is such a great way to learn how to write. It’s so much more helpful than the “how to” books I am muddling my way through.
