Happy Consumer, We're Just Happy Consumers


As it's Black Friday today. I wish you all the wonder in the world of worlds. Make it what you want. I'm obviously English. In fact, I'm not entirely sure that is English, I mean obvious. If I had more sense I would have edited that out But I made the mistake so left it in. Some of the spellings you have been made used to may have pointed that out from previous little bloggy blogs.

Anytoot, Black Friday it is or Black Friday all week if you're an Amazon fiend. It's grown in popularity over here so get your credit card out and enjoy or something. Still got cyber Monday to go too.

"We're just Happy Consumers!" If you're not familiar that is a nod to the genius Bill Hicks. Check him out if you're not for any reason.

I find it difficult to express aloud in real life the fact that I write or I'm writing a novel. I honestly don't know why I find it difficult to articulate. I've been searching my mind. I think in a sense it strikes me as too personal. I don't tend to share all that much about me. A part of me really wants to create some video content to support this. Truly document my progress and how I approach everything with the view to help others.

I might get round to it. It could be fun. I think though I need to get out of this faceless hiding behind words thing. If that is even a thing. I'm interested in being more involved within a writing community. Not sure if that means getting involved in a workshop or what really. I think I need to learn to be more open about writing though.

It should not be something I feel the need to hide or am not overly confident about. I am confident and happy with what I'm creating. It's sharing that with 'real' people. Have to remove judgement or the worry about peoples judgement. I do try or think that way, generally but in reality I should be able to shout and scream my intentions and all that I'm doing. I'm getting there.

Hopefully you too don't have that sensation. If you do, be humble but share when someone shows an interest.

Liking all the words.

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
