You're right, a perfect example.

Quote:

If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

However I disagree with Chekhov. That rifle on the wall could be part of setting the scene as a rustic dwelling.
The type of rifle could be an indicator of the time period.
A rifle could show the hero has other options when with nerves of aluminum he talks to serial killer into reforming, becoming a missionary, and helping the poor.

Like most rules with creating art, it's a rule worth considering, even if you eventually decide not to apply it.

Yeah, but it was very astute of you to remember and cite that rule.
I'm no writer, my attempt at spell binding would apt be more like spelling blinding.
Fleming should have heeded that rule, his James Bond books were so constipated with superfluous detail, I wanted to yell at the damn books.

The other night Mom&Popdigr (65 & 73) were eating watermelon, they luuuuurve them some watermelon, let me tell you. Anyway, while munching away, Popdigr's dentures decide to come loose. No problem, it's watermelon, right? Pop reaches up and just takes his teeth out, and takes them to his little false-teeth-bucket in the bathroom, comes back, and continues munching.

Momdigr looks up at him when he comes back, and asks "What was that about?".

Popdigr responds:

"I took such a big bite of watermelon, I had to take my teeth out to eat it."

Pop doesn't have much of a sense of humor, but, every now and then...

xoxoxoBruce · 08-22-2015, 02:19 PM

It's true, bigger bite, better taste, and spit the seeds farther.

Tuba, or not Tuba, there is no question.

What's blue and not very heavy?

Light blue.

Glad to see you'd got the Dad Joke Manual down cold.

Responsible parent you are, you are.

I take my humor very seriously.
