Slide Show

So, on Friday. This is truly an example of not even conciously thinking of writing anything other than my novel. Instead though, I explored a thought, that became a distraction, that then turned into a story.

I wrote it, read it like 50 times. Developed it. Thought of the characters and well that was that.

I decided to post it on a little known site of  Instagram 

It runs to about 30 slides, I have included 3 below for tasting like a Christmas Cookie.

The story was written with a slide show, almost episodic feel to it. I intended it, though to be read in order. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Well, writing is writing. Honestly, I don't know where it came from. What inspired it. It started out as an empty page and then the rest is well history.

If you have some time or are even interested do take a look. Have a read. I was happy with it.

I'd embrace any of your thoughts.

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
