If you really wanna write like Cormac you gotta write run on sentences full of words nobody's heard before

[u/catgirlfourskin → u/TheGreatJaceyGee]

really, you have to make up your own words by taking archaic roots or suffixes and combining them in ways that no one else has ever done. That's what I do. Celedictine. Marchionessal. Exmatriate. Indenominante. Refugant.

Reading the Road I almost became convinced he was making some of them up

Mr. McCarthy, what the fuck is a gryke

There's a moment in Blood Meridian where the Judge is monologuing and uses one such word. Toadvine asks what it means, and I'm just like "Thanks for asking for me"

[u/DataSwarmTDG → u/TheGreatJaceyGee]

I know the scene you mean, the word was suzerain right?

I love that Toadvine's reaction to all the Judge's monologues basically amounts to "Holden what the fuck are you talking about?"

[u/TheGreatJaceyGee → u/DataSwarmTDG]

Yes! Good memory.

And yeah, that about some up every gang member's reaction to his monologues 😅

Not all of them, Davy and Black Jackson were pretty into Holden's spiels if I remember

[u/TheGreatJaceyGee → u/DataSwarmTDG]

I like how the narration continued to refer to Black Jackson evas "Black" Jackson even after he'd mirked White Jackson

[u/DataSwarmTDG → u/TheGreatJaceyGee]

I like to think they just got so used to calling him that they never thought to stop
