ON WRITING, yet horribly writen (HAHA)
I believe everyone has at least one novel in them. Granted some of them suck so bad that "A Study on Anal Warts" would beat them out of the best of the worst ideas for a book awards. I have started writing numerous times and yet have somehow quit even more (can't quite figure that one out).
Way back when I started a Yahoo Chat Room whilst in college (the lonely hearts club...I was in a Beatles mood), I found out I could write within a certain structure that could keep an audience. I kept it real and eliminated junk that tends to get me off track. Many who have heard me give a speech or presentation (college or after) may tell you that I can be interesting. Granted sometimes pointless, yet still interesting. Those who sat next to me at a bar heard me bitch about just about anything, then laugh it off. Cool, right? I could at least keep a drunkard's ass in a chair for a certain time (usually till I had to piss, avg. 15 min).
This brings me to a point (dull as it may seem). Even when I don't make any sense what-so-ever, I can keep an audience for a short period of time. Now, the challenge is to keep doing that over and over and over again. Okay, yes I teach, but I teach a different lesson every once in a while (I wonder how many kids would notice if I did the same lesson three times in a row). I change the topic, like in this blog.
So how to write something that will keep your attention, maintain some semblence of sanity or at least keep focused on the story, and make it interesting enough that I, myself, could write more than just 10 pages without totaly losing focus?
Well other than make this novel like a Seinfeld episode, I decided to put it off even before I started (AHH HA!!! That's how I quit more times than I started).
NO!!!
I will not give up, I will do a half-assed job, and get ideas from my little friend Bobo who lives in my big toe. Give Daddy a kiss Bobo...Damn, Bobo, go wash yourself. At least tell me if you stepped in dog vomit.
Well, maybe I will just post how many pages I wrote on this blog, use a computer with a spell checker, brush up on grammar, stop reading smut, and actually get to what I intended to do years ago...write a decent book I can read on my toilet.
(Thank you for your time!)
