****Jean
Joachim’s Just One Kiss is #132 in the never-ending series called INSIDE THE
EMOTION OF FICTION where the Chris Rice Cooper Blog (CRC) focuses
on one specific excerpt from a fiction genre and how that fiction writer wrote
that specific excerpt. All INSIDE THE
EMOTION OF FICTION links are at
the end of this piece.
Where did you do most of your writing
for this fiction work? And please describe in detail. On the sofa in my living room in my
apartment in Manhattan.
Can you give the reader just enough information for them to understand what is going on in the excerpt? The man and woman are forced to share a house for the summer. They each have a young son who is there, too. This takes place one morning. It’s an exchange between Rusty and Meg.
She flipped the pancakes
onto her plate and pursed her lips. “At least I’m decent.” She dropped her gaze
to his fly. “I hope Mr. Winkie isn’t going to pay us a visit.”
Rusty’s eyes widened. He
looked down, then covered his crotch with his hands. “Oh, shit. Sorry.” He ran
from the room.
Meg’s anger dissolved into
laughter. She opened the maple syrup, applied some to her food, and sat down to
eat.
Before she’d finished half
of the short stack, Rusty was back, fastening his bathrobe.
“Mr. Winkie?” He cocked an
eyebrow. “I hope you’re not teaching your son to call it that.”
Meg raised her eyes to
his. With a steady voice, she replied. “Actually, I’m teaching him to call it
his penis. Because that’s what it is. Not a dick, not junk, nor a Johnson, not
the little fellow, not cock, not his equipment, not the other head, and not Mr.
Winkie. What are you teaching your son?”
“All of the above. And a few
others you didn’t mention. Got any more of those?”
It appears on page 20.
Why is this excerpt so emotional for you
as a writer to write? And can you describe your own emotional experience of
writing this specific excerpt? I laughed.
This is supposed to be a funny exchange, sparring, between the man and woman.
