Upon looking at the last lot of entries, I feel heartened to see that my writing technique is vastly improved from the very first entries. Which in turn are vastly improved on the first draft of the first chapter of a short novel I started two and half years ago. I think perhaps it’s because I don’t feel so nervous now about expressing myself. Telling stories to you, my small group of critics, has taken away that shyness to open up and talk of difficult things. I once heard that great writing comes from sharing the most intimate details of your life with the person you would least want to have read them! Now that I think about it, it was that floppy haired blonde git off Dawson’s Creek (Dawson the dick) when he was having one of his famous whinges to Katie Holmes (the hottie that she was!) Yeah well it sounded like a crock of shit then, and it doesn’t sound much better now! But I was hoping on looking oh-so arty with some deep writers wisdom.
Anyway a gesture of thanks for your persistance, when – I won’t say if – this first short novel of mine is published I will send all you regulars signed copies! With a bit of luck you’ll have it for christmas 2010!
I am trying to find a pseudonym to publish under though. I don’t want to use my real name for no other reason than I don’t want the people who I work with at the time to know it was me who penned it. That is if ever someone by some farcical luck actually even buys a copy. More than likely I’ll get fired if it’s a manager!
I was thinking of the name, Jethro Jack!
What do you think? Cool or no? Go on, tell me, I can take it!
Padwanna!
