Orwell and Me

I think he is over my shoulder right now

amazing parallels between his life and mine, which I find encouraging. He was despised bk he was so critical, he quit jobs outraged at injustices others put up with, he was awkward and unhealthy, and he ended up writing 1984. I could now be in phase of his life where he worked in a bookstore and being around books all the time made him despise books, as, well, I used to like television. . . Onward. I am currently living in my own Jura. Orwell wrote 1984 in Jura, Scotland I am in Lancaster, California writing for next 2 years with a sign on my door that says "Orwell's Scottish Cabin" Inspiration:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuVYvkdTYWc

  Kay Ebeling He went from upper middle class to poor abruptly, so, before writing 1984, Orwell wrote about the poor, with some but little success, kinda like me writing about the pedophile priest victims with some but small success at my blog http://cityofangels12.blogspot.com

Orwell and Me 2

OMG, I just realized how similar my job is to the lead character in the book 1984. I have to reread it, but how weird. I take what is on video and transcribe it to a word doc that producers make into Reality TV. His job was looking at news stories and then . . . almost transcribing them, just leaving stuff out, but I mean. . . the parallels between me and George Orwell and my situation and All Of It is ... a nother whole story to write.

  Kay Ebeling Weirder yet. The videos I transcribe, the producers tell the star what to say and the star repeats it back. I transcribe it with a time code, so the producers know where on the video is the line they want to use, pretending it's the star saying it, but it's really, The Producers. . .

  Kay Ebeling They put the words into the reality TV star's mouth, I transcribe it with a time code, they then produce the show where people think it's the star talking, but it's really, the producers.

  Kay Ebeling The shows are then on screens that are ubiquitous, permeating america's living rooms and bedrooms, you almost cannot get away from them.

Orwell and Me 3

Orwell was isolated bk of his illness, so am I. He had TB and was infectious so kept himself at home. I have PTSD  and the pain has me crippled so I'm always at home. Orwell was passionate about politics and the time he was in Jura writing 1984 he "pulled on his entire life experience." One thing that got him writing fiction not journalism was the death of his wife. My Fiction writing was kicked off by the friction between me and Lizzie, for which I am grateful now. There's more. He had a tendency to put himself in the middle of things to experience them and write about them, which I too have done all my life. This is exciting. I'm not writing 1984, I'm not writing about the future, but I really dig the parallels, maybe I should turn my rants about the Saudis running Fox News into something. . . not sci fi, but Orwell also was not writing sci fi at all. . . hoping for a couple days off soon... loving this documentary about orwell's lifehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuVYvkdTYWc
