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....

I Am A Writer!

It's as simple as sitting down and writing: I AM A WRITER! It's become my mantra. I write it down as if to visualise. I AM A WRITER! The emperor's new clothes. The tactic of manifestation. Whatever! It's working for me. I AM A WRITER! Regular early morrow routine. Alarm for 6AM, a good, focused 90 minutes of nonstop writing. Aided by tar black coffee in a dirty Denny's mug. I AM A WRITER! Headphones; the sounds of albums I've never heard. Today, was Brody Dalle, Diploid Love. It doesn't distract; as I can't sing along. I AM A WRITER! Music in my ears encourages a blinkered tunnel vision. Keep going until the end, as a basine minimum. I Write 1000 words. I AM A WRITER! I let it flow and that's that. Anything and everything over is a bonus. Shattered Vanilla, A Punk Rock Love Story is at 31,000 words. I AM A WRITER! Set myself a target. Something else I've written down. The end date is publsihing date. I AM A WRITER! There's work to do, but wit

I'm starting to build it.....The third in the series.I won't call it a series. ' Shattered Vanilla'

 All of those perfectly timed snippets of inspiration.  Those songs played only for you. Why don't you give me a soft, wet lickery kiss.  It started out blank with no imagination. 'Shattered Vanilla'  That's the title of my third novel.  I've only just sat down to begin writing it. I'm roughly speaking at just over 12,000 words. It's a first run and I love that feeling of filling space. It could be tripe or something I can mould. Either way, before it. There was nothing but blank space.  Now, that I've finished 'Flagpole'. I must just interrupt myself.....  It truly does frustrate me, just how much time I spent on that book.  Forward facing dog! Having a more focused mind for the second, which I released on September 11th.  'Autumn in Georgetown'.  I have no time to waste. I've had ideas for this one. As I said, it's called 'Shattered Vanilla'. It's sort of been rattling around for a while. Made some loose notes as to

Why Do I Clench My Left Fist When I Eat Chicken?

That is a question that I cannot answer. I can always speculate and assume it's some form of comfort. I honestly have no real idea. I do though catch or notice myself doing this. In fact, is it safe to say this only occurs whilst eating Chicken? Another question that I may not at this stage be able to answer. You on the other hand could potentially answer a large number of questions.  Don't worry, don't freak out. They are pertinent to writing.  Ultimately, I am interested to understand which genres of writing or books you are directly drawn to? Will a front cover simply be enough. What if you don't have the luxury of a front cover? Do you have any idea why you continue to grab for fantasy fiction, or is it about crime? I'd be deeply intrigued to hear your thoughts.  Is a story still a story despite the platform it is posted to. Does wattpad favour teen fiction? Is Instagram ideal for long winded, drawn out iterations of thought? Are you
