My first entry
So this is my first entry. Hi.
Half of me (the optimistic part) thinks that this is the start of some wonderful journey, whereby writing here will gain me a wealth of adoring fans. This will be followed by swarms of minnions carrying out my every desire until I'm infamous. How very third Reich of me. My other half (my pessimistic half, not my girlfriend) is almost positive that the only people who will ever cast a gaze upon this, are my good self and Emma.
The latter seems most plausible. And when is it "ok" to refer to oneself as 'my good self?.' Im losing readers before I've begun.
Alas, I will write anyway. So... All this space to finally vent all my creative blockage... Finally!! Yessss!! At last, no excuses, no distractions, just me and the page/screen...
Look, here's the thing; writing is tricky. If you're reading this as a non-writer, you cant understand. If you're reading this as a writer, you probably dont understand. Conclusion = I'm a lousy writer.
I'm trying to write a film. And make a documentary. And become a music producer. And carve out a career in TV. And move to America. And... it's hard. Conclusion = Try harder.
I wondered today whether I was an actual person, or I was just dreaming. I came to the conclusion, and having pinched myself 4 times, that I was a human. Just like you. But it got to me after a while. I'm an actual human, God's greatest creation, with the ability to touch the stars if my reach exceeded my grasp. And how am I celebrating my new found realisation. I'm a runner.
I run. I'm running. No, not the kind you respect and aspire to be like... I'm the kind that cleans bins for TV execs.
More on that another time.
So welcome to my first entry. I hope you come back. I will be. Emma?
