I have decided to start writing a book.

(dramatic pause for general disbelief and snickering at my expense)

This will be a long term project but I have already outline the broad strokes of the plot and jotted down a very rough draft of the first two chapters. Now some might think (at least those of you who read my blog) “How on gods green/blue earth can he write a book when the blog is all but dead ?” And I would agree with that, I have not updated or written anything here, not because I didn’t want to. But because I didn’t see the point. I usually just wrote what I had done recently and such, and there seemed little point in doing that.

Now that I have a project to comment on, I think it might be different.

My head is always thinking “what if this and that” when it comes to just about everything to personal experience and historical events. How things might have turned out… and I have decided to try and put that to use when writing my book. Rather than using this energy, if you will, to think out what would have happened if I said this rather than that.. what if Stalin had a pet ferret would he still be a communist or would he still be looking for his keys and socks ? Who knows…

I currently have about 7-8 pages of notes, ideas and random gibberish written down so I think this is something I can do. And on my way home from work I had another idea that I think would be good story. So while I outline and generally fiddle about with the book I have also decided to write a short story. Flexing my vocabulary a bit before diving in to the deep end as it where.

So there it is, a published aspiration from me, will wonders never cease.

But talk, and writing about such things, is cheap… if not followed up by action. So much like those who post picture of their bodies to motivate themselves to continue to workout. I will give myself a deadline when it comes to the short story. Which will be mid-May… that is to say the 20th at the latest… whatever I have or have not written by then will be published here. So that you few readers can comment, mock, ridicule or praise my writing and storytelling prowess …

Hello,

Yesh it has been a while to say the least…

Many things has happened since last, I can´t even remember the last entry (and I am too lazy to look it up)

a short list: I have started exercising, same job, new appartment, same city…

and yes.. that´s it… I make no promises on when the next update will be, but I figure I´ll start posting results and training session details here.. for public scorn
