I've Got an Excuse...

Ok, this time I've got a valid excuse... sort of...

I know I haven't updated my blog since my birthday.  But I've been busy... not the usual 'busy' that I always say when I am just procrastinating.  It's the real busy... with writing my book.

This whole time I've been trying to come up with the first chapter and the sequence of which I'm gonna put in some of my earlier blog posts... I've also looked at where I'm gonna have to do the re-writes for the blog posts that become chapters.  Also, gaps have to be filled.

In all this time, I've got a frame, and as of a couple of hours ago, my first chapter.

This is definitely not going to be the way I write my blog.  You see, I never read what I write.  I straight away publish it.  That's why sometimes you'll see atrocious grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, etc.  I write whatever comes to mind, and sometimes sentence structure suffers.

This time, I'm actually re-reading everything while I write.  I have to if it's going to be more than the usual 600 words.  The whole thing has to make sense.

Anyway, the first chapter still needs a re-write.  Missing a lot of the usual spunk and humour.  I even feel that the first few paragraphs sounded like a script to a documentary.  I'll get to it later...

I wonder if I'll ever finish it, considering the fact that it has taken me years to get around to doing this....  let's hope I really get into my groove...
