  • An ode to success.

    A friend recently sent me a Bob Dylan quote and I can’t shake it. It goes “What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night, and in between does what he wants to do.”

    It’s beautiful right? Well yeah it is but it’s irking me, I can’t shake it.
    The problem I face is that I can’t be a success in my current job and I can’t apply for the job I want to be a success in.
    All I can do is hope against all hope that somebody sees what I see in my novel and that that someone happens to front a major publishing house.
    I fully appreciate what I do as a writer, and I am a success within the confines of myself but it’s hard to keep that thought running when you spend five days a week trussed up in a cubicle dungeon. I don’t want to ever be one of those people who settles into something, I always want to push it, push it real good.

    Peace.

  • Grammar Nazi me

    I just called a friend a moron for using the incorrect spelling of the word ‘aisle’. I’m still trying to work out why basic errors like that make me so annoyed, maybe it’s something to do with my pride in my own abilities, or my upbringing.
    I accept trial and error as being a part of life but I can’t understand how we can all go through the same curriculum and come up worlds apart. I know, I’m being a pedant.

  • Let the wild rumpus start.

    I believe this is the third blog I’ve started. I struggle to maintain these things you see. I can’t even say it’s a lack of commitment because I’m committed to my cause as a whole.

    The important things to remember are that I am determined, I won’t settle and that I am a massive creature of habit.

    I’m planning on this being quite a broad blog, I’d like to try and review each and every little thing that I come across because that’s the way we human view the world right? Through the eyes of a critic, or as a voyeur, or however else you want to word it.

    That should do, lets crack on.
