Car boots

One of the most depressing things you will ever see, is the sight of people trying to sell their junk at Car boot sales. Do they honestly think people will buy that rubbish? Old toys; broken ornaments and pieces of machines that probably never worked in the first place. The novel is coming slowly along, thinking about putting some of it back online.

Rain

We will pay dealy for all this rain. The crops are just laying in the firlds, and rotting. Thanks to the common Ag' policy and the EU, the way the farmers get paid is crazy. They don't help their case, but many will just go to the wall this year. Couldn't work out better for Tony. less tory seats to vote him out. Two world wars and we will be forced to think about what will happen when the island starves. Steve UK. Sign in to see full entry.

Sir mark!

What wonderful news that Sir Mark thatcher may be going inside! Pity he can't take his Mother with him. since the old man died, there's no one to save his neck. Interpol were sorry the father got away, as there were more dirty deals with his prints on them, than Sadam. Once inside, Marky will squeal like a pig, and finger his other Nazi pals. David Hart is one who should rot in a cell with him. The bag man for many mercenary deals, Hart has a lot to answer too, once he stares his God in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing

One of the problems I have with writing the new novel, is that I never get any time to actually put the dam words down. I've tried free hand writing with the old fashioned pen and paper. But not only is this slow and painful, my inspiration just doesn not come out. I find myself thinking about writing and not putting down the story. when I sit at this key board, the words just flow on their own. I don't have to give it any thought. It's almost like the things you read about automatic writing.... Sign in to see full entry.

God's will !

Heared on the radio, that some right wing Americans thought that there was no such thing as global warming, because God would not let it happen! Can you beleive someone would come out with a thing like that? In a way the race deserves what it gets, but we are on the receiving end, and see it a little differently. One reason why we will never get truly green energy, is because of one interesting fact. My step father once told me that he knew someone who worked in the office of a big energy(oil)...

Saturday Night

I don't miss the drink, as it was killing me. But I do miss Saturday nights. Going out and participating in life. The ritual of getting ready and waiting to see what was going to happen. You were always overcome with that wonderful feeling, that anything might happen. What sort of girl you might bump into, and what sort of croud you would get involved with, were all part of the magic. While you were getting ready, you felt nothing mattered, and every problem could be overcome. To that end, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Population

I saw a thing on Channel 4 news last night, about population explosion. They gave the usual hysterical nonsence about the great masses about to overrun us, but one thing struck me. You never hear the Sci-Fi solutions to population growth now. Back in the 70's you had plenty of ideas about new cities in the desert and domed cities in the artic, and all the rest. No more. We seam resigned to just letting the problem get on top of us. My favourite is the thought of branching out into space! What... Sign in to see full entry.

Ebay or Ebay?

After a kind post by: mycml56, I realise I may have left the impression that my writing was for sale on Ebay. If only that was the case. No, we sell second hand books on ebay, under the name Tamdemz, our company is www.TinwellBooks.com I once did try and sell an e-book called Summer lawns, which was a science fiction/fantasy thing, about a girl who ges caught up in a Maze. It transported her across time, to escape the Civil War, to try and live in the modern world. Enjoyed writing it, but it had... Sign in to see full entry.

Free access-Google-free!

Watched a guy on Newsnight last night, saying that Google is one of the last places you can get free information. The good stuff, you now have to pay for. I can say this is true. Looked at a new site for accessing war records, from the BBC web site. You get so far but eventually have to pay! Fare enough, if you can't make money from the Web, what the hell are we all doing here? We don't give our books away on Ebay! But he's right, in that the web is shrinking more each day. If you type in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost in space

Sorry to anyone who watches this page and wonders where the hell I am. Got caught up in putting book on Ebay. Load of cookery book at the moment. As for life.......! Little has happened. Finally made my mind up to concentrait on the novel and not waist my life trying to write magazine articles. You can get published, and even make some money. But who cares? I don't! And I would not care about the stuff I was writting. Not fare all round. No stick it out and hope the Lottery novel comes through.... Sign in to see full entry.
