Christmas in Naples is a Sport

March 28, 2024

It’s a SPORT, okay? Sorrentino knows. I don’t know how to translate that into Italian, since it doesn’t seem to totally work, but it is. I go CHRISTMAS IN NAPLES IS A SPORT, and it doesn’t totally seem to land. However, it’s clear. I will tell you, show you, I have pictures. We’re talking poinsettias, chewing my gum, shrugging my shoulders, in soccer ball vases. You don’t know what you’re up against. The impossible. But again, this is a SPORT. Not some Hallmark holiday. The goal here, tapping the table, is immortality. Show me an athlete, a professional one, at least, who does not understand this!

We must be READY to spring into action at any time.

We do not need calendars. Just please. Dates. This a fruit.

We have not lost the ancient system of intuitive functioning.

We just know, and we go.

I just spent an hour on my book, and it’s coming together, it’s just been challenging, so I’ve been trying a new approach: it’s easy, it’s totally easy to write a book, no problem. “I choose to believe that manifesting a book is easy.”

I’ll talk to this producer on Monday, but could I not sell this script idea? Naples is hot right now. Who wouldn’t like to see a Neapolitan Christmas comedy? Sports + Christmas. Isn’t this “the good combination?” I’m already trying to put together ONE bible, which has been challenging enough, but I don’t know what to say, because it feels like I could sell this…maybe I have to do one first, I don’t know. I just want to finish this book.

It seems like the first section is coming together.

Anyway, I’m off again.

I’m back.

I took Christmas EVE and I’m working on that excerpt now. I’m redoing my website so you can just read things right away. That’s why I had these buckets, but I thought it might be better to just put a few things up — clearly — and just leave it at that. Stuff you can read. I should be able to do a newsletter about Naples…so that will come. So that’s what I’m working on now.

← The Barbara Harris cover, no? The book jacket? Chic. I have to listen to Enya to make myself feel less afraid... →
