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...

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...
