Okay, it's 8.48am. Thursday, February 6th. I'm on the 101 heading south. I'm at Lucas Valley Road just passing or San Pedro Road just passing the Plaza slash business park. I believe I can't remember what that content management system was called. It was called... Anyway, site core. Yeah, that's where they were. There's a YMCA here. The Marin YMCA on my right. So, yeah, technically this is the entrance to San Pedro Road. Anyway, what happened this morning? dropped the kids off, made them lunch, hard boiled eggs, made them sandwiches. I had to go last... you know, cream had basketball last night so I went to Whole Foods in Safeway. Got some coffee and stuff from Whole Foods. And because Kareem wants Nutella, I had to go to Safeway and get Nutella. They had a small jar of it left so that's all I could get. So I could make it sandwich. And of course, Heidi is on a no toxic chemicals in the house kind of thing. So she threw out his deodorant and they... I had to step in and kind of tell him to ease off and... no... He's going to have to switch to no toxic chemicals. So we had to get Tom's deodorant instead of his own old spice that he loves. And of course, knowing Kareem, he probably thinks, man, why you just let Mom boss you around and all that stuff? Anyway, that's kind of enough of my day right now. It's a Thursday so I'm heading into the office and that 11 will have our... meeting... our developer roundtable meeting. Where we discuss, you know, developer issues and I'm going to present on my proposal or code reviews. So see how that goes. Anyway, that's it for kind of my background or for now. We had started on the main dictation. Done.
Okay, so again 8.51 am to Thursday, February 6th. I'm heading south on the 101. Heading up the hill just past the Marin Civic Center. And I want to start talking about some thoughts I had around flight of course. In this particular part of realize that there are some things that I know about the story. But this is... The story is intended to be told from a limited perspective. Pretty much... Rosa Alithia's perspective and maybe Horace's perspective. Primarily Rosa Alithia. And... Because of that certain things will be very hard to kind of expose in the story or present to the reader. For example, Rosa Alithia, the Florence's diary. And the story behind why she has it and how it's written and all that. Um... You know... How will Rosa Alithia know that Florence writes this in her sleep? And why she had to write it in her sleep? Well, Rosa Alithia will have a professor one day in college, her psychology professor. Um... And... So, yeah, it could be a psychology professor. It could be a clinical psychologist at the student health center. Not really sure yet. She could be stressed out over her loans and... And... And all that. Or she could be... Hold on one second.
Testing, testing, one, two, three.
Alright, it's 8.55 am. Thursday February 6th. Sorry, I got distracted there. Keith, our landscape person, sent me a text that forgot to pay him over the weekend. And I need to do that. So he reminded me, and I just have to coordinate with Heidi or, you know, meet him tonight when he comes over. So anyway, that's... That, I've got me a little distracted. So, where was I? Actually, you know what I think I'm going to pause so I can watch my teeth because every time I dictate I don't get enough time to do that. So, I'm done here.
Testing, testing, one, two, three.
Okay, it's 9.05 a.m. February 6th Thursday. I'm now on 5.80. I'm going past the PG&E facility near Costco Central Avenue. And where did I leave off? I wanted to talk about the assumptions made in my story concept notes and how they will actually translate into the reader receiving those concepts. So like take for example, Florence is a sleep locker. Florence is a good daughter who has to a good daughter, good person who wants to do right things in the world and challenge the norms that at least when she's faced with them are unjust. And this means also having to challenge her parents. But because she is an obedient person, she doesn't know how to do this and it kind of creates its own path for her. And the diary is that outlet. The sleep walking is the result of the inability to cope with the frustration. And the diary is in the attempt to at least was an accident. I mean the you know her father you know seeing that the sleep walking was a problem. Secretly took Florence to see a doctor who you know wasn't a professional in psychotherapy but like the family or at least you know his a doctor that the at least one of his co-workers sees or his you know his wife will not see doctors does not trust them but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have to. So the doctor now he because he sees someone who's not specialist by any stretch of the imagination, the doctor simply says well okay she's asking for her in the middle of the night she's asking where are my letters and where's my pen and of course her father doesn't want to disturb her. And he tells her to go back to sleep but she keeps doing it and she keeps going back to sleep. And the doctor says well why don't you give her a pen and see what happens. And and so basically the father tries it out one night and he finds out that that she starts writing. And now maybe the father already knows that the mother has banned the writing of letters. And you know doesn't want her talking to the Egyptian boy anymore to that African boy. She won't say Egyptian boy. She'll say African boy. And perhaps maybe we can even share some quotes from the Bible or hymns that mention Pharaoh in a bad name. Now how does the reader learn of this? So Florence has a diary which has a whole story behind it. How does the reader learn of that story? How does Florence learn? I'm not Florence. How does Rosa Alipia learn of that story? Is her psychology professor? Either it's her psychology professor who relates the story of this to her. Which I don't know is the best way to do it. Or someone who knew what her dad did. And then told her about it. Does he anyone who knew her might not want to spread rumors? You know. Just not sure about that. Anyone who sees the diary. I would know maybe that they're talking. Would they know that they're talking about Florence? Is it possible that Rosa Alipia actually kind of hustles the information out of her psychology professor? I mean she'd like to do a paper on sleepwalking. But how would she know that the diary is even the diary of a sleepwalker? That's another thing that we need to figure out. Still stuck on this. Not 100% about it. Either she finds someone who knew Florence. Or she and because this will all happen in college. And she'll either need to meet people who knew her. And she might mention places in the diary. We don't know. Maybe you know the fact that maybe Rosa Alipia is stuck in Lamisa trying to find someone who knew anything about the diary because she's in a love book. And that's how she ends up in Lamisa. Perhaps. I'm not really sure. So I have to think about that. Because I either present the story. As flashbacks. And then that makes the silent, the narrator omnipotent. I mean people just want to hear the story. Sometimes they don't really care how the narrator gave this information to them. That's what you're going to think about. So that's another possibility. I mean, is Rosa Alipia a sleuth? Is that in her character? It's possible. I mean, maybe she thinks she's adopted. And this person knows something about her being adopted. Like their her biological mother. I have to think about that too.
