update

Not much to say this week.

Started and well into a new short story, Combat, so far it's quick and easy, a more of an action story.

Nothing from my publisher regarding Circus Macabre, as it was due to be published a couple weeks ago.

More later.

update

That's another short story finished. A mere 10,707 words long. I am exhausted. Stayed up late last night and still hadn't finished it. Only finished it a few minutes ago.

When I say I finished it...

I got to the end of the story, it reached it's (un)natural end. I will give it a few days and come at it again fresh, see how it reads. Probably a slight edit is needed. I think I missed something that I wanted to put into the story...Can't remember...

And, I suppose, onto another tale.

update

Didn't get much writing done this weekend, I had bought a Kindle e-book reader and put half-a-dozen books on it and read one, William Meikle's Crustaceans, I just love giant crabs on the rampage!

I hope to finish a short this week. Got more lined up, tho.

If only I didn't have to go to work...

update

Just had buffalo burgers, grilled with potato croquettes and peas drowned in a thick beef gravy. Very delicious. Never had buffalo burgers before. Never seen them before. I will get them again.

Still writing.

update

Being a Liverpool fan means pain. We lost 1-2 against Blackpool at home. We are languishing third from  bottom. We are supposed to be a good side. A top side. An European side. Why are we so lacklustre now? We should have a good side, but we aren't performing to our potential. I am not going to rant about the American owners or the manager. Whatever the problems off the pitch, we should have players who are proud to put a Liverpool shirt on, proud to play on a pitch and being professionals, pride in themselves, if only to increase their own value. The likes of Steven Gerrard, who has played his entire career at Liverpool, are rare, with most players happy to be mercenaries, playing for whoever pays them the most. And maybe that is the problem. They get the money no matter how they play. Maybe we should have contracts that pay for performance and results, with no pay for matches lost, pay deducted for yellow and red cards and own goals, and a bonus for every goal scored.

I don't know, all I want to do is cry.
