Okay….here goes.
So the latest plan to creep the horizon now a new school year is up and running and the craziness of the start is all gone is that of the long awaited book.
It’s been always in my peripheral vision and I’ve been meaning to pull my finger out and crack on for a while now but it’s finally going to start…
Or rather that’s what I thought. I sat my arse down yesterday and thought “right…lets finally get some of those ideas that keep flitting around my head down on paper”. It’s been s long time coming and I’ve got literally hundreds of ideas for both children’s books and books for adults. So…here was my chance to get it down on paper.
Ten minutes later and nothing….
Twenty minutes later and nothing….
An hour later and after three coffees; thirteen email checks and a good long laugh at Craigy’s latest blog and I still have a blank screen in front of me.
How can I have writers block? I’ve not actually written anything yet. So technically I’m not a writer. I’ve got not a writer’s block which technically doesn’t mean anything as someone who isn’t a writer wouldn’t be writing anyway. So I suppose technically there’s nothing wrong with me…technically.
Anyways…what’s going on? I’m an English teacher, I spend my life with freaks, weirdos and of course the kids as well. I’ve worked as barman, bingo gopher, PA, credit card account manager. I’ve been employed to lie to people about tax credits and where they are, I’ve renovated two bloody houses and spent a whole summer wiping old people’s arses for a living….not a million miles from what I do now. I’ve travelled most of Europe and would generally like to think I’m a man of the world. But I’ll be buggered if I could think of a single thing to write about.
A long time later…I’m tripping of my face on caffeine. The idea is here…it’s gonna be about people…real people…people I know…things I’ve seen…things we’ve done!
Mwahahahaha
Watch out world…if you’ve met me then your dirty little secrets are gonna be in my book!!!

Chapter 15,
So, we have all been out drinking, not me mind you I was drier than a nun's.......well you know, and Craigy and I are walking up a car park entrance. This one goes up and we get he great idea to jump off at a very high point..........why no-one knows.
Dunno whether it was the sobriety or what...but that hurt like hell!!!
Was that the same night a rather inhebriated Steve told us all he had a dinky???
No, unfortunately that was another night.
That was a night you had a camera, and we had to climb a building to take a picture, but were to high for it to come out.
Not saying what, cause its incriminating. But you know!
Oh yeah....shame really.
Not many men have seen what we have and lived to tell the tale!!!!
