Struggles of An Ordinary Writer

Greetings friends and readers! In case anyone's wondering why I'm resorting to alien arrivals style greetings, I'm desperately trying to  complete that seemingly incomplet-able modernised sci-fi version of one of Shakespeare's plays. The things I would do for  writing (LW stories).  LOL


Kinda conflicted I am. Unfortunately, I'm not Yoda when it comes to writing discipline. So, readers are stuck with the near-snail pace progress. And health issues are acting up so ☹ expect delays to increase.

Here's a tiny excerpt from a piece I started way back before Christmas:

I cringed as I looked over the potential headlines the sports ed had suggested. The more vulgar, the better was the sole guideline. "After all, we're in the business of selling papers and subscriptions!" I'm sure my poor supervising professor was whirling in his grave at how productively I was putting my literature degree ( was being put to work)


The cocky bearded guy who walked into the cafe was my target for the day. No, he wasn't the star. He was the aforesaid lumberjack. If I  were writing some torrid romance or erotic read, I might describe him as having/ he had some raw, sexual appeal. The raw part would have been right. Sexual appeal on the other hand was decidedly absent. I mean, sure the guy was huge but he didn't exactly radiate buffed, ripped maleness. Would I jump his bones? Probably not. Then again, I wasn't some blonde vacuous WAG who had to put up with some whinging, pretty boy with a star complex from chasing a ball around a pitch.

And because I'm shameless, let me just say, if you really miss me/my writing, get my latest book:

First Impressions of 2017

2017 has been interesting so far, all eight days of it LOL

I'm still trying to create some social media posts for 'Shattered' and out a plan to get some writing done before April LOL

Some posts you might miss if you're not on my social media:

I particularly like this next one which took ages:

This was done some time ago

And I've been stress eating so it's been Fruce's Avocado Coconut drink which tastes oddly like some local dessert chendol but a lot less sweet since I opted for the reduced sugar version.

I'll post extracts next week from some of the writing I've been doing haphazardly. Have fun readers and friends!
