We are carrying on with some things that I have been reading about in the Write Now magazine. One of first articles I read posed four questions, I’m going to spend the next few nights answering them as honestly as I can. The first question is;
What kind of writer do I want to be?
I thought it was a really famous person who said “Everyone has a book inside them..” what people don’t then do is finish Christopher Hitchens quote “which is exactly where it should remain!” Christopher Hitchens is famous. I’ve heard of him.
I’d like to think there is a book inside me. Trouble is, I haven’t found it yet. I keep on trying though. I’ve talked in previous posts about how successful full I was when I attended the creative writing course in the local college. There you are see, I’ve mastered the art of deep, deep sarcasm. I haven’t answered the question though have I? I’m also good at this procrastination thing. Another thing I read in the magazine is stay away from long words.
I have the odd idea about writing fiction. I’ve never taken it beyond the odd idea though. I’d have a go at non-fiction, but what topic? I think lack of self confidence prevents me from specialising in anything particular.
Published? Yes, I think so, I’d like to be. Chance? Well, not as long as I don’t try.
I know this isn’t a very good answer. I’m not sure I can at the moment.
