    what are you writing right now?

    why not share some of the work you are writing today just to have an idea of you are progressing.

    I am at the moment writing a short story about a diligent lorry driver who decides to give up driving/transport all together to try and live using walking as the only mean to subsidise. Challenges rise when it is the holidays and family visits occur. It is a kind of comedy satire about modern man versus commodities

    when I write tend to go with the expression ''the poem/story that wrote itself'' where the poem/story just appears but then it just stops again. So I title my notebook 'to check' then I go back to a day or few days later to try and complete change of leave again unfinished. I do not fret if the poem or the story is not finished.



    P.S
    this reminds me:
    do you say the glass is half full or half empty? ie the story is half finished or half way complete?

    There is always room for more and room for less. The glass is never full and never empty. Correct.
    This prompted the idea for a story that could be entitled The Magnificent Queen of Incompleteness.
    It could be written by Hawkman and edited by Hillwalker. After some meticulous thought, I'd bet it will hit rotundly.

    I think I might be writing a vampire book. It's sort of on a dare. I said it must be the easiest thing in the world to write a cheap vampire book. "If it's so easy, try to do it," was the response. So far I have written two pages about riding a bicycle on a beach boardwalk. I...don't know what I'm doing. Yay!

    LOL it might be a very close contest between Hawkman and Hillwalker.

    Hehe interesting I watched an episode of the Simpson yesterday where he was bitten by two vampires then turned vampire himself and flew out of the window looking like a torosaurus. Haha
    Riding a bicylce on a beach boardwalk sounds just like a holiday resort to me . Is there going to be midnight feasts and lots of garlic

    There might be! Sex and violence and pop culture references.

    Oh I see I was thinking of ''the Monarch of the Glenn'' for some reason it sounded Scottish to me.
    Here is a link:

    notice the word Glenfiddish if you click on you will see it is in Scotland. It is an interesting read. Glenn Morgan the whiskey brand.


    Glān it sounds like clan from clannad. Geilish.
    I did not know it meant pure.
    You do like names I noticed especially the historical ones

    Yes, I do I wrote my M. A in linguistics. I have been always interested in it, so maybe it`s the reason. Everything has its meaning, names too.


    Do you like Clannad?

    Clannad sounds good. I was going to ask about Glān for your character is she going to be written to represent pure an ideal image or is the name chosen because you like it?
