On writing..

Again, here I am, and yet again, I pose the question of what will I bloggy thingy about today?!?! I really should be more prepared. Give it a little more thought perhaps? Well let me see, what are my options today?

I could write about the joy I get out of working in Photoshop?? OR how much I like funny buttons with witty sayings, like “Does my fat ass make my ass look fat?” OR will I go to hell for having a Jesus car air freshener hanging under my monitor here at work? (Smells like purification.) Hmmmmmm, quite a quandary.

SO I’ll again forgo the pre conceived notions above and write about ….writing. (I had an Austin Powers redundancy moment there…Allow myself to introduce….myself.)

So with writing, like so many others…I’ve hit a block, well actually, allow me to rephrase …a wall, wait, one more time…..the wall hit me, and when I was down, bleeding what was left of whatever creativity I had, it shit on my back with the Awesome power of persuasion and forced me NOT to write. (As you can tell my previous sentence…its working.) However, I have a potential plan to remedy that.

I may be going to Toronto in a week or so for 2-3 weeks to do some Quality Assurance work for my company and while I’m not working, I think I’ll lock myself away in my hotel room and write a book. Now I know what you’re thinking, “Jeremy, you couldn’t write a book in a few small weeks, why don’t you settle for writing out a chapter or two, or maybe a chronology…?”
I figure If I set my standards high, I’m more liable to follow through as I really hate letting myself down. But If I don’t get a whole book written, and maybe only a few chapters or something… well ya know what…at least I’ve gotten some writing done and I’ll have grown in that light.

My Buddy Pat and I are still waiting for our Agent to get our book to the publishers to get picked up, BUT that’s been going on for over a year now so I have no hope for it happening in the future. I think you can see what it will look like here http://www.101industries.ca/frames.html

p.s. I think my next entry may be a excerpt from that book…. Stay tuned.
