Far back as I can remember I have loved books. I think it was grade 6 when I started to think, I wish I could be a writer. Flaw in that plan is not ideas. I think being an only child and having an imaginary friend and hours upon hours of playing by myself might give me some creativity. So then why are you not Stephen King you ask??? Maybe not even rich and famous but why cant i make a damn living out of it! Well let me tell you it isn't as easy as being a good story teller....
First off I blame the modern age! I cant just show up at your house knock on the door and be like hey for room and board for a few days can i just make up a bunch of shit and entertain you? Well I could but I would likely be thrown in the loony bin or the drunk tank. On top of that radio came, then TV, then the talkie picture shows. You wanna get big right a good TV show cause people nowadays know more about Kim Kardashians sex life than what is a number 1 best seller in books. Just saying William J Shakespeare didn't have to compete with Johnny Depp. Also I dunno Bill Shakes middle initial but J seems like a good one. And that is a two way street I mean, while I am writing this I am playing on Twitter, texting and my X box looks sooooo damn tempting. Really if the modern era wanted to get more stories they need to invent a thing that I could just tell the story to and it would type it out. Seriously Stephen Hawking get on it!
Grammar, spelling and all that jazz. Fuck off! Like seriously, here is a sick truth. I was in journalism, I was lied to this was supposed to be the path to writing. No it is a path to non fiction. Either way I had to take communications. So I do it once, cant remember the cuntface of a teachers name but she was a big cuntface. I mean this broad wouldn't even be called by her name she wanted to be called Doctor So and So. Like I give a shit you have a doctorate. Anyways I chronically bombed in her class. Based solely on spelling grammar an that kinda shit. I re did the class the next year. With a much better teacher. So here is the fun fact. I submitted the exact same projects. To him content mattered, i mean I still bombed on the whole grammar but the content was important. No I didn't get honours or some happy story but at least my work was "college level" unlike bitch faces class. That was all a long winded way to say there really is no school for creative writing. You cant just jump into it as a career. It has to be on your own time, which does say I do lack some drive. But honestly who the hell works 40 - 60 hours a week, has a social life and time to write? And I don't even have kids to deal with!
This is getting whiny. Even first world problemly. (ya fuck you grammar and spelling) But the next big problem I have is too many ideas. Like it isn't a week at work unless I have come up with some idea to make money. From the gay barber shop.... Like a tug n clip to meat stealing with a friend. But the real problem is i have too many ideas for writing! Currently I have 3 blog articles in mind. On top of that I have 1 comic idea that I have ALMOST got to 22 pages. Then I have 2 more ideas that bounce around in my head and I am unsure if they would be best as comics or novels. Then I have 5 fully formed novel ideas. These are only the fully formed ideas. Spend a week working on one and BAM an idea hits for another so I move onto that by the time I get back to the other I have lost my train of thought! I maybe slightly scatter brained.
Anyways even this is kinda a time waster 30 minutes I just spent on a blog when I coulda been working on my comic So peace out!
