BOOK EXERPT 3

How Do You Start A Book About Yourself???

Hello! Here is another excerpt from the book not published! It got axed. But I was writing more as a proposal at this point.

So where should I start?

Do you have to start a story at the beginning? Joyfully, no! If I could have it any way I wanted, my story would start like Julie Taymor’s film adaptation of the William Shakespeare play “Titus Andronicus..” The bedraggled columns of Roman legions are returning from a long war with the Goths. It would all look very magnificent in a stoic and bloatedly tragic way. The troops are smeared in chalky, blue mud, lurching forward like crawling locomotives painted as a religious procession who's figures should slow to frozen forever, right there on the spot, like Rodin’s “Burghers of Calais.”
