43 words less tosser-ish

Err. After the whining of late, I think it’s time to start another novel. I have a new idea for a story. I just started, and I am DETERMINED TO FINISH. I am telling myself that it doesn’t matter whether it’s shit – it’s just for practice. And for myself. I shall base it loosely on my own experiences in the past few years, but they are maybe a bit boring (to other people) so will have to glorify it all a bit. Or something. (But it’s really just for me, honestly, I am not even thinking beyond writing something right now.)

I am not one of those people who thinks their life is interesting or anything, just to be clear* – but it’s that ‘writing what you know’ thing coupled with the fact that I have an inability to muster plausibility in everything I have written sofar. I have tried to write about people who are too far removed from myself. I need to think a little bit smaller for now. Plus, anyone can be interesting if they tell it right? No? (It’s FOR PRACTICE! Shut up!)

* NB NB NB: I re-read this post and just had to come back and laugh at myself. Ha. Hahaha. No, I am not one of those people at all. Just one of those other types of people who sees fit to publish their mundane existence publicly on the internet for nigh on FOUR YEARS now. Totally different kettle o’ fish, I think you’ll find.

Anyway, I promise not to go on and on about it. Just wanted to say…….. 43 words down the line and it’s going Really Well (I am joking. It’s difficult to convey sarcasm on here sometimes but.. hey, that was sarcasm!)

Don’t forget to vote on my last post – I am going to move this whole little blog thing elsewhere in the next couple of days. I mostly will just buy whichever name takes my fancy (as it swings between the two) but let’s just pretend that voting makes a difference.

Just like the real world? Ha. HAhaha. Excuse me whilst I go and add “satirical political blogger” to my list of skills and interests. Along with “novelist” of course.
