The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

A Brit a Day [#11]

Christian Bale: I once posted my status on Facebook as "I'm having a Christian Bale film festival before the kids get home from school." My friend Lietza wrote back, "Alright, American Psycho at Jane's house!" It's true, I had to buy a copy of 'American Psycho' in order to see it. The rental copy had been stolen from every Blockbuster in San Diego. In the "Hip to Be Cool" axe murder scene, Christian Bale gives one of the most amazing and bizarre performances I've ever seen.
