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 with this new Ignorance to failure and enjoying the craft. It doesn't matter if it's not well received.

I AM A WRITER!

It's a process of continual growth. As long as I learn and improve along the way, write the stories I want to write, enjoy reading the end result. That's all I can do and aspire my numb fingers to achieve. Seriously! They've just turned free-range eggshell blue.

I AM A WRITER!



Until next time. 

Do Good Things!

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...
