I can’t force myself to write. It would just never work. And, I’ll even admit, not every single word I pump out is solid gold. It’s true.

When something is kicking well inside me I just have to sit down and write it. It has to come out of me. It’s a feeling I get and it cannot and will not be ignored. Lately, I have been writing so much that to do anything else of a night just seems strange. My nights are meant to be spent on the laptop drawing out words. I could not, and would not, have it any other way.

But, at the moment I am not sure exactly where my words are taking me. I pretty much have the Ego proposal finished. Just need to get it nicely printed so I can start sending it off. I just dropped a short story into the printer to get a few copies to give away as presents, so that’s finally done. I am finalising sketches about Fate and so fucking eagerly awaiting the final pages from Justin Greenwood. Yeah, he’s awesome, couldn’t name drop him enough.

It feels like a few things are coming to a close and I really need some new stiff to come forward, but cannot seem to decide what. Well, that’s a lie, I can but damn it is hard work.

I have a novel idea in me. It’s a romance story, or more accurately, it’s a deconstruction of romance after the fact. I have so many chapters planned out for it, but over the past few years I start it and it never seems right. I never like what I have written. It doesn’t have the right feel for me. But I don’t seem to know what the right feel exactly is, or how to get it. I think I might have to start on the twlefth chapter and just work from there, it just seems to be that start that I cannot put my finger on.

It’s not that I don’t have ideas, or work that needs to be done. I am rocking Vista right here and I love the notepad on the side. I keep all my writing priorities there, and right now there are 15 different jobs looking back at me. Plannig, proofing, scripting and writing. This list doesn’t even include my romance idea.

I think tonight I will have another stab at some romance. I’ll look back at Bobsy because I’ve been far too long prepping other gigs that I have ignored the poor little fella. Then I won’t feel like I’ve wasted my night.

In other news, I found out that End Of Fashion are coming to a pub near me, and soon, so I have to get my tickets sorted soon, man they were good last time.

I got my pull list in the mail this week. Iron Man was very good, Batman is a little weird but I have to know what happens. Criminal was pretty awesome, I’d almost say one of the best issues of it yet, and definitely my favourite first half so far. Just The Boys and Thor: Reign Of Blood to go, I dare say I’ll trash them later tonight.

I’m having a clean house, a lot of shit needs to be thrown out. A lot of shit.
