IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROPERLY SCHOOLED SORTS, PLEASE ACCEPT MY HUMBLEST APOLOGIES. DREAM ON. Hello, and welcome to the latest chucktrevino.com "pulp" fiction novel, "Vignettes From A Dream." I actually started writing this pulpacious thriller some time ago... so long ago actually, that I've completely forgetten what it was that I originally intended to write about! Just kidding around again, of course. I still remember the original outline plan in its entirety; the devil is in the details, as the literary people used to say. So, being a devilish sort of guy, I'm adding new details! There's no law against doing that, as far as I know. If you were unlucky enough to have read this Fiction Page's previous forward(s), you may not have even bothered to read the novellas themselves, such may have been your disgust. I am very pleased to say that this new "forward" has been greatly reduced in size, and all the verbose poetic bullpoop has been removed, in an effort to persuade the less literally insane of this website's visitors to take another shot at reading it. In truth, and as I have admitted before with admirable honesty, I am not a "real" pulp fiction author at all, having never been properly schooled in the art of the english language meself. To put it in plain english, I wouldn't know a dangling participle from a squinting modifier even if I squinted while conjugating a prepositional predication somebody dangled in front of my adverbial modified face! I've just read a lot of novels in my fortuitously abundant spare time, and thereby have gained an intuitive grasp of how pulp-fiction novels are constructed, that's all. So, as I've stated before: Let the reader beware! All petty criticisms notwithstanding, I am offering up this modestly crazy but still somewhat certifiably insane book of short stories, or novellas, to all semi-lucid souls out there that still like to read. I will be adding more chapters as they occur to me, until all the disparate parts eventually build up into one medium-sized novelle. The only thing you'll want to keep in mind is that the novellas won't be in any particular order, at first; when I feel the time is appropriate, I shall place them into their final sequence, and the entire story will then manifest itself as one complete, profoundly sublime standard-sized pulp fiction novel. I know this is a very risque and, well... novel way of doing things, but who cares anyway... this is chucktrevino.com! You just have to accept these things. Here's your novellas... start reading, if you dare. I know that you do!
