"daddy is interesting"

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2010.01.21

One of Kenny's classmates pulled her usual stunt when she saw me. She grabbed one of the classroom books to show me.

The book had a bear on the cover, so naturally I did my bear impression, squinting and making deep baritone huffing noises. She squealed and said, "ダデイ おもしろい!"

"Daddy is interesting!" I'm not sure why she called me Daddy (pronouncing it the English way) but yeah I guess I am fairly interesting. Especially when I make random animal noises.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
