Will you believe me if I told you I have nothing to say? It's true. Not a thing. Lets see what I can come up with Okay? :) I read this book the other day called "The Heartbreaker". It was set in London and the author used the word "bloke" a lot. Made me laugh every time I read it, guess cause it's so outside of my speech. Was a rather interesting book. I didn't think I was going to like it, like it was hard to get into, but I stuck with it and soon I found myself fascinated with the characters and the theme of the novel. There were quite a few other English words that I found amusing. One was "shag". No definition needed I'm sure. LOL. I'm glad I stuck with it and towards the end it had my eyes all teary. A well written book can do that. I hope I can achieve the same success on my novel. I haven't written this past week. I hit a road block last weekend and everything got all cluttered in my head and I couldn't put a sentence together, much less a paragraph. I asked my muse a lot of questions, but I didn't get satisfactory answers. At one point I was so frustrated I threw my pen down in disgust. At dinner tonight, with three girlfriends, I'm cracking crab legs and just start talking out loud. Not to anyone in particular but just start rambling, cause there she is, Alyssa is in my head jabbering away. My girlfriends are looking at me all weird like and finally one ask whom I talking to. It's rather embarrassing to admit that I'm listening to a figment of my imagination but what else can I say right? I hadn't told anyone that I'm working on a novel, so once I spill the beans they ask questions. I found it somewhat difficult to put the theme into words. I know! That's crazy right? I know what the book is about, I developed the concept so long ago that night at the bar, but to actually tell it. I felt nervous, and I guess a little afraid. I'm not sure why either. I suppose it's a little bit of fear that the end product will be crap. I hope that it isn't cause right now I'm very pleased with what I've written and the parts that I posted here. The best part about tonight is that I'm past my road block and now know what is next. Okay, did your eyes just glaze over? Or did I put you back to sleep? LOL. I'm off to bed now, hope I can sleep for a few hours. Alyssa is still jabbering away, but I need sleep first, so let my brain wind down. Please. LOL. Have a lovely day Neo and a terrific weekend. Marie :)
