Green Regent comeback…

Reading ‘Music For Boys’ by David Cavanagh has been a really inspiring experience. So inspiring that I can’t seem to think what to write. But again see the post about writers block. This is the problem that other people seem to explain things so much more effectively, yes every page in the DC book is really well written…

I just want to say how much I connected with the book (man) and despite having never been a teenager growing up in Belfast, I too have been obsessive and creative and really into pop music.

I like to look at DC’s successful writing career and think ‘that could have been me’ but obviously it isn’t…

Taking the hint….

I think the cosmic signs are telling me ” you aren’t supposed to be a career woman”

What shall I do instead?

I will be grown up and see the “bigger picture” tomorrow.

For now I think they are all bastards and it’s a conspiracy against me.

“The good thing about reading is you never get blocked- and every page is really well written.”

So this is going to be another post about writing. I suppose I have become self conscious about writing because I just don’t do it very much anymore. I feel like I can’t properly start this blog because it feels quite alien to me now to be sitting writing, it’s like:

“Ooh look at me, I’m writing!”

But I used to write all the time, as I may have mentioned in my last post. I went to a creative writing group at univerity and I said I’d never showed anyone my writing and I was called pretentious by another group member. I never went back to the group. I’d been writing since I was about 5 and I don’t see how I could have been pretentious at 5 (although in fact maybe I was….. )So I am still quite pissed off about that despite it being over 10 years ago now..

I can really relate to that quote above because it has just become much easier to read other people than to write myself. I don’t know if I could write something as good as my favourite books. In recent years I have started to wonder what the “point” of my writing was and I havn’t really written anything for ages. Also I have spent the last few years filling out job applications and so I would feel guilty if I wrote for fun, because I felt like it was time to put away childish things. If I wasn’t going to do this writing thing “seriously” maybe I shouldn’t do it.

It isn’t just this that stops me from writing, I am quite a lazy person, I would like to read philosophy books but it’s a lot easier to read novels. Another aspect of my laziness is to start something and then finish without fully forming all my ideas………

Just what the world needs…

Another blog.

so, you may ask -why do I feel I am qualified to write a blog?

Actually that’s the whole point of this blogging thing isn’t it, you DON’T need to be qualified, you can just ramble on and it all looks really good because it’s written down. Hurrah!

But I like to think that I’ve been blogging since about the age of 13. I used to keep a diary and it always read as if I writing it for some one else. So this blog might be a little bit like my old teenage diary. Except I won’t just write ” I hate everyone” in one of my entries, because I have moved on a lot since I was a teenager…..

Another thing I used to do was go back and reread my diaries when I was older and write sarcastic stuff in the margin. So it was like I was posting comments- and I will probably end up having to recreate that here as well, as I can’t really imagine anyone reading this blog.

Well I say that ,but secretly I am hoping this blog will become really successful and be published. Then I’d ideally like it to be a film, but a TV series would do I suppose. I see myself as being played by Angelina Jolie….
