I have a good feeling about this year...I think we're in for a lot of excitement! Hug your friends at every given opportunity, folks!
Uncertainty is the bane of concentration and so I've been spending the last few weeks diving between hysteria and self doubt just trying to maintain a reasoned exterior. As it was not doing me much good I've decided that the only use of social media is for flippancy and party invites and you should definitely never feed twitter after 9pm or you'll become a hideous, ranting troll and end up in a blender.
I realised that I bought a few books in 2016 and failed to read them so I've been skipping through them merrily now. They are:
The Movie Doctors
Slade House
Seinfeldia
A cowboy book my Dad wrote
They've helped refocus my mind a little and now I plan to grab hold of Mythomania again for one final rewrite before pursuing the avenue of self publishing. I know! You may not want a copy but I think it's better to at least get a substantial version of it out into the world to flick through. After that, if I don't hate it, I may do the same with Seething Fury - which nobody else has yet been allowed to see.
There is a third novel in me too. It's called Kerry San Dever. If we're all still here by the end of the year I'll probably try and get my head together and work on a first draft of that. Again, no promises. If I get hit by a helicopter whilst crossing the road then don't come whining to me that I didn't do what I said I would. I have a job, a family, a PS4 and a coffee machine and they all take up precious time!
I released a little Rashamon EP on Xmas eve too...so I have been fairly busy. I wrote all the tracks on my phone - I know! That's on SoundCloud if you'd like to check it out. There may be more Rashamon things on the way this year.
I also have another idea...not sure I can pull it off yet but will keep you all posted if I remember.
Tatty Bye!
