I've got a creative writing homework to do for next week.

I'm suppose to write some letters that Bukowski and a person wrote to each other. 5 letters.

I thought about doing some letters he sent to a stripper. I've already got the first one but I can't thing about anything for the four other. What could they talk about ? If you got ideas...

Wine, dog races, hangovers

Letter 1: About those 5 dollars I owe you (I bought a quarter with it, sorry)

Letter 2: About horse racing and how I made your 5 dollars there! The winning horse's vagina reminds me of yours, by the way

Letter 4: I spilled whisky on letter 3, sorry

Letter 3: We should run away together, imagine the things we could do if we could just leave

Letter 5: A farewell (alternative title: I found a stripper with bigger tits)

first letter is tough guy shit
second letter is trying to seal the deal
third letter is anger after rejection
fourth letter is desperate attempt to win her over with sentimental stories of a victims childhood
fifth letter is one big fucking slugfest of the most depraved insults you can think of, finishing with something like 'I'd rather give the losing dog my big purple than a VD-cunt-for-a-mouth whore like you'

There you go.

WELL THEN THAT'S EASIER since you can invent her 100%, you don't have to know anything else

Have her be a student of German literature who's just in stripping to pay for tuition, a dreamer stuck in romanticism who blends out reality

Her letter is full of Goethe and Schiller quotes, like "And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence."

Have her propose that Bukowski develops a Werther-like infatuation with her which of course ends in B's suicide

Have her want that his remains won't be buried on the Christian cemetary, but under a forlorn tree instead

romantic as fuck

Perfect

I love Bukowski a ton, but it's great to make fun of him sometimes.
