The Art of Blogging…

OK, I really ought to get this started. Prob is, to rephrase a writer friend with a passion for her blog, never let the website take over from the actual writing. But since things are all a little hectic at the mo - lots of extra-circular activities like actually trying to earn a buck taking over for instance - I'm kind of knackered. So I figure I'll give myself a break and write some of the fun stuff.

For some reason, the chapters are dragging again. This is pretty dull really, considering I was going great guns throughout the summer. I reckon the prob is as I'm reaching the end of the book, I'm trying to write better to save time on the rewrite! Great in theory, lousy in practice, since it means I get nowhere fast (back to being the great procrastinator - see Bio). But hey ho, we all have crazy times and this is one of mine.

That said, read over some odds or ends of other chapters today - to make sure I was maintaining consistency with characters' appearances, not just mess about - and I quite like some bits. Queenie, for example, makes me laugh and, believe me, that's quite a feat!

Bloody hell, so used to capitalising Belief and Believe that I even do it in real life now. Just had to go back and sort my last sentence out. Weird. I'm losing sight of that fickle edged reality...best drink more wine...'cept the bottle's empty. Curse that dratted husband!

In the words of another friend, snigger, snigger. And now I must to bed…
