Dont judge a book by it's cover...

So the other day, whilst putting off writing my shit novel, I decided to make a cover for my shit book. It needed to *deep breath* juxtapose something army like with something, umm, non-army like.

So I came up this...



A nice concept I thought.

Then whilst also putting off writing my shit novel, I came across Buffalo Soldiers on Amazon, and low and behold doesnt it's cover juxtapose somethign army like with something non-army like.



I mean, my blog was going to be all about how you shouldnt judge a book by its cover, but in my case - please make an exception! But now I cant even do that! He's taken that from me aswell!

SO FUCK YOU MR. ROBERT O'CONNOR! First you have to take the 'My Novel is Better then Yours' stance, and then you have to take my bloody book cover design!

I apologise...I apologise. I didnt mean that, Mr. O' Connor's novel and subsequent movie is an inspiration.

Took me fucking ages to figure out where I'd put my condoms aswell.

NaNo Nanu!



Well it's been 7 days since the beginning of NaNoWriMo and I am pleased to announce I'm a massive 200 words above my one week target. I have about 10,400 words of pure shite written. So far the only review I've received has been from Future Rock God Eoin who has told me it's good and that my grammer and spelling is terrible. Thank you Eoin, thank you very much.

Then on one of my many trips over to M. Ellis Conroy's Original Miscellanea & Textual Repository I saw on his linklog the title 'This is exactly why I havent participated in NaNoWriMo' and slowly edged my cursor towards it, expecting it to link to my train wreck of a story. Luckily it pointed elsewhere and I didnt have to cry.

I've been enjoying myself anyway writing away. I was behind schedule as late as Friday night but have things on track now. It's good to be writing consistently, it's just a pity that it is a half-baked pile of crap.
