FINALLY THE OPENING OF MY NEW BOOK came to me! So I've written over 700 words! That's nearly 2 printed pages! And promptly had to rewrite it all! And have yet to finish doing it! But it's a start! So wahey!!Even when I thought I'd lost a £10 note this morning, I glanced down at my writing (which begun on the back of a pizza box: how much more starving-in-a-garret romantic can you get in this late day and age?) and thought to myself truly, "That writing's worth far more than a tenner." Wow. That's a really difficult thing to think about one's own work, as any would-be writer should agree.
There is a real knack to prose narative that you have to get used to if you're going to write a lot of it, and I've been trying to slip back into that mode... Of course I've also spent a lot of time feeling sticky and stuck and cringeingly rereading knowing this has to change... Of course (unlike my blog) it all has to be succinct, yet vivid. And word perfect. Which it is not (yet). But it's a start.
Hey hamster news: I caught Pingpong the Chinese hammy running on his wheel tonight. For the first time ever. Honestly he is so retiring and has never shown any regard whatsoever for hammytoys of any type. Even once when I hooked his old wheel to the back of a chair 3ft in the air with nowhere to run except ever onward into hammywheel-land (must be an enticing prospect, because something keeps those little critters scurrying for hours at a time on their little exercise wheels...) anyway nowhere to go (fallbreaking quilt pillows strategically poised beneath in case in sheer desperation he should jump, which is just what Itchy would have done)... he just sat there looking desperate and very sad. And ran nowhere! So big improvement. Pingpong the Retiring Hamster has somehow got Less Retiring...

I love this tune and it seems to be everywhere at the moment...

That's awesome that you started writing. I don't think I could ever get that drive. What's it about? Or is it going to be a secret until it's done? ; )
I can hardly wait to buy your book gleds.
That's a great song!
:)
Oh gleds!....I thought you'd be interested in this....
Ty & Fiona just went to the Oasis concert here last week...they said it was fantastic! I couldn't go ($$), but really wanted to. It's the second time they've seen them. It would've been so great to have been there for their cover of I Am The Walrus! They said Noel's acoustic performance of "Don't Look Back In Anger" was the highlight of the night. I'll dig up some clips and post them on my blog (since I don't seem to be using it much at the moment...long story...been sick, blah, blah, blah).
Congratulations on the start. Don't edit as you go, just write. There will be heaps of time for editing later and you can cut, chop and change whatever you like. For now, just get it down...I should take my own advice...sigh.
AS one author to another do what puss says. Just write and write. Cause if you keep making the first bit perfect it's a great way to prevaricate from doing the next bit. And how do you know when it if perfect, as when you write the next bit it may not be perfect anymore
I got stuck at chapter 6 cause had a love affair for a bit, but am determined to get on with it this autumn. I'm even daft enough to open a blog specially for it.... I must be mad!
Hi,
Oh it sounds like you got a good start to your story. Keep it up and forget about editing it for now, the only thing you should be worrying about is writing it. Later you can edit to your hearts desire.

That bit about writing on the pizza box sounds pretty good for an opening :-)
Starving Garret - writing a novel on a pizza box - AWESOME!
I love it " starving in the attic romantic " most great artists suffer for their passion Gleds....could be a good sign of success. Read an article today about paths, they say the path of the heart is the most important,doesnt mean that it will be any easier, we wont suffer just that its the right path if your following your hearts desire any other path leads to dissatisfaction..very philosophical..lol
Good to read about the hammys again. Lost my cat, so waited a while and got another kitten, nearly lost that one by poisioning it with flea drops, accidentaly put one on that was meant for dogs, highly toxic to cats. Poor little mite had to be taken in and sedated and put on drip..recovered now and quite manic..think its looking for revenge...lol
Love that song !!!
Keep writing you hear :~)
You dared me, so go check it out! It's bare bones at the moment so bare with me pawleese :)
You started! Now get on and finish it! :)
starving-in-a-garret romantic and you can afford pizza? Sure you haven't been given an advance for your best seller*!*
Good for Pingpong ... maybe it had something to do with that recent world sports thingy;)
Ray Davies is brilliant isn't he - all his lyrics are timeless*!*
thanks for the messges everyone...
as I "implied" all got waylaid by nondrugs DESPAIRING the last few days!
novel theme/etc:~ sadly it HAS to be a secret... still researching the subject matter really
