Hello! I suppose I should get about telling you what this blog is all about. You see, fair folk of the internet, I have an idea and I'm going to write it. I'm going to write every day (hopefully) until it's done. Then I'll edit it and risk the big bad publication world. I don't know whether it'll be self-published or if I'll go down an more traditional route. I don't even know if it's going to be any good. What I do know know is that I'm going to keep track of my progress here.

Starting from that very scary, very blank first page.

Here we go. Wish me luck!

The self publishing experiment.

So I'm going to do something a little bit mad. You see, I'm very curious about self-publishing and ebooks. I read mostly ebooks. Don't get me wrong, I still love me the feel of glued dead-tree in my hands. Nothing smells as good as a room full of books. Ebooks are quick and easy and I devour them whole without having to worry about conserving them until I'll be able to get to the bookshop or library next. I also want to test my writing. I want to take the plunge and see how people react. So I'm going to either commission an artist or buy some stock photos for a cover, get someone else to take a look at it and release a short story at the end of the month. I have no idea how this is going to go. None. But I am going to track it and reveal how it's going here every month. I have a short story lined up. The one I have chosen has potential for a series if it goes well but it stands alone well enough. Hopefully it won't all blow up in my face.

Playlists!

Now that I'm editing SB, I've taken to writing more short stories. Today's is a story about a lazy law officer who is inspired to solve some weird cases. It's a little wacky, very strange and very me. As I type I'm making up a playlist for a new short story I'm writing.  I love listening to music as I write. I've done the experiments and tracking my writing to know that it makes me write faster as well. I'm going to share the music I pick for this one with you guys and I hope you let me know what you like listening to. Sometimes I like music without any words while I'm writing. This story just calls for lyrics! This won't be all of them in the playlist, just 5 songs to give you a taste.  1. Chasing Cars- Snow Patrol. (I also have the mix up of this with the Police and 'every step you take'. Check that out! Why here it is! ) 2. Five for fighting-100 years. This song is so sappy and sweet. Also the video. It's an old guy
