A Laptop, a Laptop, My Kingdom for a Laptop.

At Two o’clock this morning I came within a pidgeons fart of buying a sexy new Laptop.

One more click of the mouse and I would’ve bought it.

The truth is though, at the present moment, I really don’t need one. Not right now at least, Maybe in the future when my book gets published and becomes a number one bestseller and I have to travel a lot doing book tours. But I don’t need one right now, I just really, really, really, really want one.

I’ve decided, just for now, to put it off. I have decided to make it a reward for myself for finishing my novel… So it may be a while before I get one.

I figured this is a good idea and have also extended it to buying anything. - I tend to buy a lot of crap -

So now I need to hurry up and finish my novel. At this stage I’m not sure which it will be either Blue Flowers (the novel formerly known as The Transient) or Mal Macabre…

Place your bets now! Odds are 1:1 on both.

I saw this the other night. It has got to be the funniest and most random punching people in the face sketches out there.

In other other news today - I Like Penguins… Except for Thomas. He’s Evil. He knows Judo and he’s not afraid of abusing it.

That is all… I think.

I Don’t Have A Title.

Tomorrow…Tomorrow…Tomorrow.

A great man once said “Hey, who are you calling Tuesday? who stole my rabbit’s foot? it was in me sandals!”

And I think that applies here.

Tomorrow is when it all begins. I am going to start on my novel - Blue Flowers - (formerly known as Transient, Formerly known as Solitaire, Formerly known as When everyone died) - Which I’ve had in my head for years. I need to do some head emptying.

You’d think knowing the whole story line to a book would make it easier to write but - No. No it isn’t.

As the great man once said “Damned Aliens!! Those shoes with that dress? What are you thinking?”

I was bored the other day…yesterday. and I played around, making a new cover for my book now that it has a new title. I have a cover for each of my books. It’s just a bit of fun but mostly just me procrastinating… me? procrastinate? never! (wink wink, nudge nudge)

Here’s the new ‘Blue Flowers’ cover:

‘Blue Flowers’ cover

So back to what I was saying before -

Tomorrow…Tomorrow…Tomorrow.

Beginning tomorrow I am planning on writing 1500 words per day… everyday. and I should have a 90,000 word first draft by the 10th of April. Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “you don’t know what I’m thinking, your not psychic” and well, you’re right. But If you were thinking “you’re not going to write 1500 words per day” like you should have been thinking, then you’re right as well. but since I’m only planning on writing 70,000 words, So I think it evens it all out in the end.

Maybe.

But as the great man says “A cockroach is just a meal you haven’t eaten yet, where’s the incinerator?”

and those are words we can all live by.
