New Day Rising progresses at its usual glacial pace. I suspect I shall have to set the random number generator for paragraph designation to 10000 instead of 1000. Whereas my usual reason for surviving is to continue to outlive Bob Howard, I suspect my reason for surviving shall become finishing this fornicator instead. |

House of Pain took me 11 bloody years to write!
I learned a thing or 2 about planning after that. |

Drink eh. Much of Outsider was written with The William Burroughs Method as I called it. As for planning I don't think that's an issue, more that there were at least a dozen episodes already and now I want to add a post apocalyptic one because I don't feel I've ripped Mad Max Fury Road off enough yet. |

Writing gamebooks fun when you're intoxicated. Editing afterwards when you're sober and come to your senses? Uh huh lol |

My current inspiration for this era of my writing career (there are many gaps, including 10 years where I never wrote fiction at all) is Derek Robinson. He had much to say on the subject of writing under the influence of alcohol. Though personally I find everything I write is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius, drunk or sober. |

Magick these days on back burner. I'm more focused on work and personal shit. I'm enjoying my singlehood life as of now. Maybe I'll move to a foreign country. I dunno. Lol. I am working on Grekgun part 3. It's coming along nicely yet painstakingly. |

I find being single absolutely awful and was thinking of doing a teaching English as a foreign language course and fleeing to some Spanish speaking country. Then again, hung parliament. |

If only writing gamebooks wasn't so difficult. I'm starting Sundew. |

Speaking of Mad Max inspirations, Joe Dever's Freeway Warrior quad-series springs to mind. Past few days I went barefoot through the town where I live. Not many people in UK are understanding, even fewer lack the courage to speak up in support when there's a group gathered round - what I call a 'bandwagon syndrome'. Nothing to do with beer whatsoever! Perhaps one day things will change. Very much doubt it will be in my lifetime. On the bright side, the manager of a charity shop did tell me that there was a local lady who came in barefoot. YAY, I'm not alone! I'm taking a break from writing Sean Calibre Book 2 in favour of reading novels during summer spare time and work breaks. I might put them in the Book Club section. |

You're the only one in this tavern without shoes on, someone might mistake you for a hobbit |

I am often called hobbit at work due to having size 12 feet, though there I wear site boots with steel toecaps and steel midsoles, army style as was the fashion in the days of grunge. Meanwhile ms Tam I thought you'd never ask, let's go for a Lughnasadh handfasting. |

In classes I have always been the only Chinese martial arts practitioner to wear ninja tabi boots. Sundew is a prose story basically a female human pseudo clone created using actual 2017 science. |

As for Mad Max Murray of Turn to 400's regrettably final review was of Freeway Fighter, apparently now a comic. I wonder why the picked that one |

Not being sarcastic at all. As for Murray the middle class dream got him, only VGJunk endures as his spiritual successor. BLUE RUIN |

Hobbit, yes, that's a very interesting point. Tolkien must have got the inspiration from somewhere. |

Tolkein actually based hobbits on himself, liking simple food, pipe smoking and so forth: meanwhile the elves and Istari are clearly angels and archangels. You'd think having the Valar as the pagan gods would be a bit dodge for a Catholic, but apparently not. |
