Yup, It's Bloody Registered!


Having looked into it. The title that I had my heart set on is in fact 'Registered'!

Can't use it. 

Section 10(3) Trade Marks Act
Where an unauthorized third party uses an identical or similar trade mark on goods or services which are not similar, benefiting from the Registered trade mark’s existing UK or EU reputation and gaining an unfair advantage; and operating to the detriment of the registered trade mark’s character.

I’m assuming the above would directly affect my current title. This is a challenge. I’ll have to now come up with another title. It’s disappointing to say the least. But, clearly it wasn’t meant to be. I will have to be more creative in the title I now make use of. I won’t change it yet. I will think about it. I guess the original title was one that is recognizable and this would ultimately be beneficial to me, just as it may be a negative for the brand. Although, it remains a work of fiction. I guess it won’t be a massive selling point. Ahhhh well. Move on. I’m just focusing on getting it written. Fully invested.

I know that I will go back over the story several times. I've done that loads of times already. The opening line. Jesus! The opening line or lines should I say. Not entirely convinced it's correct just yet. I don't want any cheap tricks or hooks or anything. Dylan needs to grab me in as he should anyone. I can't manufacture the title though. It just wouldn't be right I’m not entirely convinced if I’m not putting more unnecessary pressure on myself documenting my progress so far. I'm at 47000+ words or thereabouts. So I don’t think that’s too bad and I’m not waffling. I hope I’m not anyway. 

I’m trying to shape other characters. I think Dylan is growing and growing into himself. I do worry about the conflict I’m creating. I am constantly trying to make use of anticipation in the story too. Maybe I’m thinking too much. I’m not sure if that’s possible. It needs my attention. I need to be focused and I am. I’m proud of it so far. Be sure that this will not be made public until I am completely happy with it. As much as I value the opinion of others it is mine that fundamentally matters to me the most. I’ve been over that before.  

So many distractions. It's hard not to be dragged away. Longer evenings I think. I need to get ahead.

Until Next time....

Trying To Bring Value...

Image
I'm doing my best to not only document what I'm doing in terms of writing this novel. But, also to hopefully provide some form of value to anyone thinking of doing the same thing. Which as I've said continually, I would certainly encourage without hesitation.   Things happen by divine accident. I'm through with over thinking things all too much. Never should or will writer's block get in the way of my creativity. Nor should it yours. Am I even sure it exists? Not so much. Even if it means taking a short break from the piece of work you're feeling the dreaded 'block'. Then, I would simply suggest to continue to write even if that means, writing or continuing another project, exploring another thought. Write something in a genre you're not comfortable with, have never encountered. Perhaps you've never even been exposed to it. Write a poem, write a song. You don't have to do anything with it but at least you're maintaining that moment...

Shattered Vanilla - Making it Hot!

 Shattered Vanilla I always fear I'm sharing too much. When, in fact I think I don't share enough. Hence the photograph. I could worry you might look at the files I have open or the pages of internet I browse. The apps running. Are any of them questionable? Maybe, but if so. Let's have a dialogue. I suppose a glass of red wine later, I'm filled with confidence. Apathy, whatever. I'll hit publish on this and soon regret it. It's the fear of rejection. Slipping into obscurity. Amnesia is the fundamental destiny for us all. Having eyes not seeing, brains not thinking. Words not heard. All that pretentious bullshit that I try my utmost to avoid. We're all just so profound. Shattered Vanilla is the third novel I'm concentrating on. I have to admit, I was dispondent after the release of the first two. Flagpole still flys, anonymously. I shoudl do more work to 'market' it. I'm afraid to Dodge 'Ram' it down peoples throats. I'm not a sale...

Short Story Submitted - The Fun Continues And Manifests In New Ideas

Productive to the point of entering the short story competition. It's a long while at the moment before it closes. I thought and considered not submitting it until closer to the time but I’ve completed it so not sure why else I'd delay in its submission. Put a lot of passion into it and research. We’ll see what comes of that. It - as I alluded to, gave me the opportunity to think about another set of characters, setting and time. So it was good to stretch myself. It’s important to me to continue to write, whether it was that short story, exploring other ideas and making a note of them but obviously and most importantly to continue to write the novel. I still like exploring the thoughts. Read, write and read as much as possible - all writing available really.   I still write on my computer. I find it distracting to write with a pen. I like the connection between my mind and the words on the paper but it’s more long winded than typing. I mean I can type relative...
