The Need For…
From Diane Duane’s weblog. I’d never heard this before, but it’s a comfort to us speeders.
“The faster I write the better my output. If I’m going slow I’m in trouble. It means I’m pushing the word instead of being pulled by them.”
— Raymond Chandler
Golda – end of week 3
After today’s runthrough, which went really well, we moved into some issues of the fourth wall and storytelling style.
Q: Do I see the audience?
A: The same way you see the stars.
Aaron and Camille talked about the necessity of making sure that the Golda-storyteller character was always present. She can’t ever fully disappear into the other characters, because she has to make sure they (the audience) understand her story.
Full realism happens in the phone calls. Only then does Golda enact. All the rest of the time, when doing dialogue, she precedes it with a “he said” or “she said.”
They discussed the fact that Golda enjoys the telling.

“So with the devil’s-advocate moon grinning over my shoulder, with demure quails calling and bullbats diving and old Henry honking across the river that gurgled coyly to the stars, and with my stomach heavy with Viv’s cooking and my head light with Hank’s praise, right then and right there I decided to bury the hatchet. I would blame my sad beginnings on no fiend but my own. Live and let live. Forgive me as I forgive my debtors. The man who seeks revenge digs two graves.”
