My life

I notice in the paper, there's a lot of crits against the Vatican and it's wonderous ways. One thing people find hard to beleive, is it's stance on sex, and the baggage it brings with it. First, they don't want you to do it. Second, they want you to do anything other than open a packet of three. Maybe shoot into the bushes! Third, once the dirty deed is done, you are stuck with it. Like it or not. Now, I might be being a little harsh here, and lets look at their side of the story. People are... Sign in to see full entry.

Went to the doctors today. My blood presure is up, and because I'm still on the dam list, they cheque you out, every few months. When I wanted his dam help, to try and leave the factory, he didn't want to know me. More interested in the rowing! So I've got to go through the pantomime of seeing him and ending up with some tablets. What a waste of time. Had to give a refund to someone over a penguin book. I lifted the copy from an Abe site, with the desription and forgot to notice it said: signed!... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm getting near the end game now, with the novel. 75,000 words already, and enough ideas to close the deal on the magic 80. After that we can fill it with all sorts of stuff to take it up to 100,000. Still havn't written the end, but got some good ideas. The next stage is to start thinking about where to sell it. I've always shired away from competitions, as I'm terrified of losing. But what the hell! what if I win? I'm made, and the agents will realy take notice. Steve Sign in to see full entry.

If the Pope dies, will there be big changes in the world? I doubt it. For one thing, I'm always asured by the word of Auther C Clarke. In the Rama books, he always said that if the world went through any big changes, one thing would be certain. That people would always turn to the conventional. Royalty and the Catholic church. These are constants that (although you might not agree with them) they are always there. They go on and on, and they never changes. Sure, the world might nock them about,...

If you want a good guide into writing in the Uk, you can't go wrong to find the BBc's page on writing. Type: "Writing" into their search engine on the BBc main site and see what you get. Just to confuse thing, they have divided it up into several pages, but in the end you can find what you want. Sure, most of their stuff surrounds screen plays. and mostly for the box, but you do stand a small chance if you want to get in. The thing which struck me, reading some of the sample stuff, and the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hear there was another Tsnumie wave hitting Sumatra last night. The terrible thought is, that now there are so many of us( 6.5 billion) even a small problem is amplified. When the big volcano Krakatoea(sic) went up, it killed a lot of epople. But the population was tiny compared with now. Can the planet suport that many, or are we simply living in the wrong places? I'll give you an example. When you look at a satellite photo of our area, you see mostly fields. It's only untill you see something... Sign in to see full entry.

Had an experiment with a few pictures on another blogg. Just called it experiment. well it's getting almost as many hits as this one. And I've never even writen a word for it! This picture is a link through my AOL free site. It's of our village church in Tinwell. Bank holiday, not much happening. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.

I've calmed down a bit since yesterday. Looking forward to Dr Who in a couple of hours. What you have to keep in mind is, that it's a kids programe! Not to be taken too seriously. Had some ideas on the novel. Should I rewrite it so much to cut out the telling, and let the Showing shine through? It would fill out the word count, true. But I run the risk of over writing it, and washing a lot of the fun out. Just think, a few years ago, at this time, I would be getting ready for a night out on the... Sign in to see full entry.

After the sad effects of the last few days, I've had time to reflect on things. With the memory of the ebay sale from hell, behind me, I wonder where it went so wrong? Sure enough, the guy was just a criminal, and tried to scam me. That's not a proble,, but what is worrying, is the way I was prepared to go after him. I have not used a black ritual on anyone in over ten years, and even then, it was so mild, they just changed their minds. They did not burn in the fires of hell, but ended up...

After the set back with ebay, in which I was scamed over the sales of books, I've had a long hard think. Anything is better than trying to make money this way. You can make some money through Ebay, but not a fortune, and not a living. I'm tempted to try wed design and programing again, but things move on so much, I'd never keep up with the trends. Plus you need a lot of expensive kit to do it. My research into wooden houses and green bulding is going much better. I was hopeing to use some of... Sign in to see full entry.
