Know what I mean?

As for what's more interesting, cinematic reading, I WOULD WANT THE QUOTES.
I mean, if you're going to talk about drama, talk about drama.
If I am telling a story...to my shrink, to a friend, whatever...I get into detail. It's more informative, it's more entertaining. If it is a story about a fight, a typical day, a silly event, whatever. God is in the details. It's part of being a good storyteller. Rarely is a tasteful storyteller a compelling storyteller. Tasteful usually leaves out crucial context and details that flesh out the events.
Stevie can be exceedingly frank in some of her interviews. She has even told stories that don't make her look very good. For crying out loud, how many people would come out and say they have a hole in their septum big enough to pull a belt through ? But, I think she actually would want to wait until everyone is dead, especially her parents and the men she had relationships with. If she ever does get around to writing a book, it won't be for another 20 years anyway, and by then, about 10 of us will care. And, her memory will be completely shot. Unless those journals actually have detailed quotes, that is. I know
mine do
