March 1 question – Have you ever read a line in novel or a clever plot twist that caused you to have author envy?

“The French have a phrase for it. The bastards have a phrase for everything and they’re always right.” –The Long Goodbye

I wish I could write like Ray. Whoever said a ‘who done it’ is one of the lowest forms of literature does not appreciate the nuance of noir mystery novels. Raymond Chandler is one of my favorite authors. No one does word play like Chandler with Philip Marlowe’s inner-dialogue.

“She had eyes like strange sins.” – The High Window

Ray’s words grab my attention and flood me with imagery. I love the stoic and realist philosophy of it all. In the present here and now “Dead men are heavier than broken hearts.” – The Big Sleep.

Looking forward to reading everyone’s posts to this fantastic prompt. Do you have author envy? Please share in the comments below.

Happy IWSG Day! Stay safe in this crazy weather.
