So get on with it
Richard Herring started his blog (I love the fact that wordpress spellcheck doesn’t like the word blog) http://www.richardherring.com/warmingup/ to break some writers block that he was suffering from
As I haven’t written anything substantial since uni 29 years ago that’s a hell of a gap. If I called it writers constipation the log that should pop out would be the size of Burntisland (in fact that might explain where Burntisland came from it .). If you don’t know about Burntisland then think Fresh Kills in Staten Island but without the atmosphere.
Sooo I’m writing this in an attempt to void my log , popping my blogging cherry whilst at the same time getting my juices flowing (there’s a mixed metaphor to be proud of).
Already I can see that it’s post modern (I’m already commented on it) and heavily reliant on the rule of 3 (some deconstruction-ism there too)
On telling people that I was starting a blog the 1st question from most of them was what theme? WHAT THEME FFS I haven’t had a theme to my life (unless “don’t get caught” is a “theme“) so what this blog will be about is this nothing, nada, whatever general bollocks is going through my head.
People with themes ….move on …nothing to read here…no really fuck right off….also over use of ellipsis is a guarantee (thank you Rachel for pointing that out some Facebook posts ago)
I once read a poem (get me) that described the authors thoughts as random chickens running through the farmhouse that was his mind. So if anything that is my theme…random chickens…with ellipsis
So…..I started a blog….cluck cluck cluck
