When Things Come Together

I was going to call this post 'Giving The Fans What They Want', seeing as I now have two (thanks R&G - you guys rock!), but had another thought in mind.

I'm sure you've all woken in the morning with the thought that it's going to be a bitch of a day, but then everything seems to fall into place and you end up having a really good (everything's coming up Milhouse) day. Well writers have those days (though they come in moments) too. It often happens when they think that their story is weak, even though they've been working on strenghtening it for at least a year. They write and write, knowing it's bettter to write crap and fix it up later than to not write at all. Then, as the flow of words turns from consistency of molasses to honey to water, something just clicks and BAM! all the pieces fit together. And you didn't even have to think about it.

Can't give away too many details, but had one of those moments today. What I will say is that there is nothing better than being a writer in those moments.

Hey R&G have you seen that show East Bound and Down? It's my new thing. I think you'd like it.

Commitment to Posting

Okay, so even though I'm writing to an audience of 0, I've been told that, as a writer, it is in my best interest to blog. So from now on, I'm going to try and stick with this and do something at least once a month.

Right now it's close to 12am Sunday night. I have to go to work tomorrow, but would rather scrounge a few more minutes to write and be tired in the morning than go to be feeling unsatisified.

I've reached 20,000 words on Book 3 of the Bone Shaker Trilogy that I'm writing and have just started reading Mary Victoria's novel, Tymon's Flight. Will let the blogsphere know how that goes.

Guess I should try and get some followers.

Back again

-->Hello my zero minions

It's always nice to know that no one is listening to you when you're drunk. Gives me confidence that I can wake up tomorrow and know that I haven't offended anyone.

I have spent today writing and making pizza. But not cleaning. Pizza isn't has hard to do as I thought. Writing on the other hand drives me insane as much as it keeps me sane. It's not fair sometimes.

So now it's 1.30 am (approx) and I've had more wine than I should have and am listening to the dodgy collection of music I have compiled on my computer. STP being one of those bands. If you don't know who STP are than you're probably too young to read this and I should have put up a disclaimer. I'm too drunk to write anything decent and too drunk to be in love.

My thing (still) has been killer whales, great whites and dolphins all expelling themselves with great force from the confines of their watery world into what most of us would call the air.

So It Begins

-->

Well, never would have thought of myself as a blogger. Not much for the reaching out to people I can't see. I like to have people in front of me when I talk. In saying that, I am partial to reading other blogs. And find some of them particularly fascinating and informative.

Mmm, so where does that leave me. I have lots to impart, only not sure that it's going to help any one, entertain any one, or keep any one on the edge of their seat. Might piss a few of you off... I am extremely opinionated, hate many things and like to ramble when I'm drunk.

Okay, as this is my first blog, I'm going to tell you a little insy bit about myself. I write full on (epic three vol.) fantasy fiction. Love the stuff. Play'd drums at the Big Day Out 2004. Heavy, punk, rock'n'roll, metal. Love it all. And yes, you may hear me quote some of my favourite lyrics in the blogs to come. Still reading....? Enjoy cooking, especially deserts. Anything chocolate, anything challenging. My god I love physics and trying to prove that god doesn't exist. Oohh, I know I've lost a few of you there. Did I mention I love to drink. I get it from my parents. It's really not my fault. Really!

Okay, last thing before I leave it all for another day. Um, let me think. Okay, got it. If you do anything this week worth while doing, make sure you look up great whites (sharks) jumping out of the water. Holy Crap are they awesome. And scary! Okay, that's it. That's my advice for this blog.

If you got this far, thank you. As I bite down nervously on my knuckles I prey to the atoms and electrons that you will return to be eventually insulted by something I say. But as you did get this far I know you're okay and will take it on the chin. Maybe even bite back... hope so.

Always
