(no subject)
Oct. 22nd, 2003 06:40 pmI'm trying to write something new, but I'm horribly lacking in ideas. I sometimes fear that all the imagination has been leached out of me by now, and that I'm left a withered and dessicated husk. That, of course, implies I had imagination to begin with, and maybe even that's too much to claim.
I can manage to come up with first lines, and sometimes even characters, but they don't seem to do anything. Bah, humbug. Sometimes I think I have ideas, only to realise, in some embarrassment, that they are actually memories of books read long ago.
Maybe I should talk to Joff about collaborating on the Sequel. Having said that, it might be a good idea to do something with the first one first....
This afternoon's excitement has been caused by a demonstration. I don't know for a fact what it's about but I suspect it is, once again, the Fathers For Justice Group. Apparently some of them managed to scale to roof of the RCJ yesterday, though that may be apocryphal as it doesn't seem to have been mentioned on the news.
Ah well. I've just emailed my opinion to my solicitors, for their delectation over their morning coffee tomorrow, and I'm off to face the delights of the truncated London Underground. I don't like using the Jubilee all the time. I have the feeling that they all look down on us poor exiles from the scummy Northern Line.
Who said I was paranoid? Own up.
