What A novel Idea.
So I’m going to right a novel and I’m a little scared. But in a good way. Not that isn’t to ground shaking as most people who know me know I have illusion of be coming a writer.
I remember Raymond Bradbury saying on his obituaries ‘To be a writer you have to write’. I’m paraphrasing of cause but those words have haunted me. So over the last year I’ve been trying to dramatically increase my reading and my writing. I have had mixed success but over the last couple of mounts have written half a dozen shorts stories. I have no doubt that if I can keep it up I will be able to produce another 6 which strangely would bring in line with my unlikely new year resolution to write one short story a month for this year. When I set that I actually never thought I would make it.
Now this leaves in a strange place of wondering what to do next. Should I carry on writing shorts stories or try something different. So what I’m going to do is try something different, a novel. Well try is the word, I just want to push my self really.
So with that in mind I’m going to change this website into more of a journal of my trials and tribulations. I am fortunate in a kind of way as nobody but me reads this site. It gives a flexibility to change directions without upsetting my audience. So I’ll try and update this site on a weekly basis as to my progress and other issues I’ve found and may be someone else might it useful.
So summary it is going to be a scary ride but I’m really looking forward to it.
