Well here goes nothing....

  1. ... no clue who will read, if anyone will read, but I can post for my own amusement at least. On the blog, that is.

    So I need something else to do to kill the time on break at work and I think this is the most helpful place to hang out. Maybe I'll be motivated to actually put my lazy fingers to work and type something out for once instead of tossing phrases and short paragraphs about whenever I get the urge to open my app on my iPhone for novel writing.

    Just so you all know, I ramble a lot.

    I apologise.

    And I use British slang and spelling despite being a born and bred American but my God, when you're best guy friend is a born and bred Englishman, well his habits and mannerisms wore off on me and I just can't help myself.

    Cheers!

    Forums are not really very productive for writing, so if you're looking for real motivation, I suggest you come up with a story that you're dying to write - then nothing will stop you.

    Btw loved how you finished with "cheers" after talking about using British phrases! A little typo you have - it's "your best guy friend" not "you're best guy friend". Either way, welcome :)

    I'm on the same boat as you: Just killing time on my breaks at work. On the days I'm not here, I'm probably taking a walk outside while reading a book. But the other day a car almost ran me over pulling into their driveway, so my supe pulled me aside to tell me that I "need[ed] to be more aware of [my] surroundings." So here I am, inside today, reading your blog. I know that people use these blogs for all sorts of useful things, but I always find myself gravitating toward more personal blogs. Getting to read about your progress as a writer definitely sounds interesting to me.

    As for writing with British spelling, it's not like it's Urdu. We can still read it perfectly fine. I speak/read mostly Japanese at home and my English suffers because of it, so I'm probably worse off than you. No worries.

    Hope to see your writing sometime. :)

    Oh I've got quite a few outlines in draft form stored away on my Macbook- I just can't seem to push myself to write them. I work a lot and focus on my job more than I think I should and I do believe that wears me out mentally.

    -blushes at typo- That's me in the middle of the night for you!
