Dolphin

It's the dolphin. Writing has hit a wall, and it's not because I don't know what to write. It's because of the dolphin, it's too forced to be a Main Character. The dolphin is an important aspect, in terms of prejudice and point of view...and the odd fish(y) joke, of course. Everything is telling me that the dolphin's an important sidekick, so a heavy rewrite is on the cards. Not a bad thing, though I'm 10k in...:-)

Writer's block? or not?

I'm just over 10,000 words into my new book, and I've hit this wall. With my 1st book, I had no time to think, just write, write, write, and at the end, I put it all together. The 2nd was almost as fast, but I wrote it from beginning to end (almost), and it came together quite well. This 3rd book...there's so much to work out, I don't know where to start, what to leave out, put in, which direction should I go...it looks like it could take a while. Just write a little here, a little there, and watch it grow. After that, step back and see what I've got. So, 3rd book, and 3rd way of writing. Not bad as an experience, but thankfully I don't think I have writer's block...or maybe the first stage, who knows? Maybe I need to try harder. Or relax a little. This is a strange time.

Sestina

Poetry is where I started out, really. The odd few lines when I was 9, the 'trying-to-get-deep' stuff, it never worked. Now I try nonsense, it works better, deeper than anything else.

I'm not saying it's great stuff, it's just that it's out there to see. Do something. Get interested. Have a go.
Still working on the 3rd book...doing bits here and there, it'll come together soon. :-)

3rd book busting my head

This 3rd book is busting my head apart. I know what the story is, but HOW to tell it, now there's the rub! So many ways...my latest attempt is to break the harsh message with absurdity and see if anyone is reading. Or perhaps I should go for short and sharp. Or perhaps fluffy and thick with alliteration...
Whatever, I'm sure I'll find a way soon. While I'm fighting in my head, I wrote some silly 'poems' with unusable words...http://jottify.com/works/fruit-of-three-kinds/

3rd book absurd??

 Well, I re-wrote the beginning of the 3rd book. I read a bit of Milligan when I popped/pooped over to the 'motherland'. I found my first work a little too dry, so I opened up and here are the 1st three small parts.

Definitely has a lighter feel...

Where's the Milliganese?

I pulled my first bits of my 3rd book off jottify, over 20 people viewed it, but I felt it was missing something. Sure, it's a Dan Brown parody, but where's the Milliganese? Where's the 'absurd'? Working on it right now...it will be an absurd work to be proud of.
I was in my native country for a few days...It's great to be back in Hungary. The sky, the air, the hot hot hot weather...:-)

Ex-girlfriend nightmares

In `Bethlehem Fiasco`, there`s a few mentions of a type of girl I once knew, but now, coming to think of it, it can go so much further.
We were once watching a comedy film from her native country, with English subtitles, and I laughed. I then received a lecture on how I couldn`t laugh because I wasn`t native, I had no idea where the joke had come from, no idea what was behind the joke, and being English I would never understand the joke.
Whenever we went for a walk, I had to walk 2m ahead of her, and not look back. I wasn`t allowed to give her complements or any sign of affection in public. I wasn`t allowed to show that I was actually with her, but I had to pay for everything.
She was so nice before I found her a place to work in England...silly me.
I caught up with her 10 years after, and mentioned a few things she did, and she 1. blocked me on facebook, 2. told me that I had a black heart, 3. said that I must be wrong in the head to think like that 4. etc.etc.etc... 9. that I must be very sad to feel like that about her after 10 years. I see it as part of my life, nothing more.
Ooo, but can`t you see? So much more material waiting for me :-)
Have you had a nightmare girlfriend? I`ve had a few...
