20 Whole Minutes - The Clock Doth Tick

Welly welly well. I have 20 whole English minutes to update this blog. Now 19! Oh my days. Life certainly does fly by.

I haven't updated this of late due to the fact that I have started a new job this week. Similar role that I was doing previously just within a different company. Same, if not maybe a bit longer commute. You can expect 1 hour 15 mins to get there. I think it's a fair sacrifice.

It does leave me with a very strict time schedule in order to write, maintain everything and live a little life too. I don't worry too much about how long this ( novel ) will take. I just know that as long as it continues to progress, then that's fine as it won't stall and I'll be further along than if I was to start this two years from now. Work in progress.

Best advice, start your story. Write some words and they'll create themselves.

I did adapt and add to the narrative with a good sequence ( well in my opinion ). I'm doing more exploring within the characters. It may lead one way. I thought Dylan would be involved in a certain person but it's changing. I don't want to give away too many details as the story I believe will be affected if you were to read it. So I'll leave it with this enigmatic captain mysterio language.

I try to make these blogs as informative as I can, sprinkle in some encouragement too. I continue to have this need to read 'Perks Of Being A Wall Flower' I know I've mentioned it before but it's soooooo good. The film I mean, but I want to read the book. I just got hold of two books on NLP and other ( self help ) books. I love topping up. There aren't many that I've read more than once. I do enjoy the tone of Gary Vaynerchuk's books and Tony Robbins. I would encourage anyone to 'Sharpen The Saw' to coin a phrase - just keeps you fresh.

Oh Brian By-The-Way. I believe the tap is now water tight. Ever have an issue, make use of a new 'olive' ( You're not alone ) and ample PTFE tape. Worked wonders!

I'm going to get back to this chapter.

Things are busy at the moment. I'm not living a life on a beach with chicks, Surf N Turf or any of that business - no lies or posturing here
. Just having to get things done. It's all a challenge and so much fun. So I'm not complaining.

All righty roo roo. Must dash.

Stay creative. One and every all!

Until Next Time...

Do Good Things

I Am A Writer!

Image
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
