Almost Done

Journal Entry: Tue May 20, 2008, 9:53 PM
I am reaching the end of what has been an epic, if quick, journey for me...I'm writing the last few pages of my first REAL full blown novel.

....wow its weird to say that.

I'm coming up on a year of working on this piece almost singularly...which is a feat for me, the easily distracted writer. Granted I have kept up with my poetry and every now and then a new short piece pops out of my head and onto the page, but full plotline wise this has been it.

I'm quite proud of this piece. I started it with a clear intent, with a theme and developed characters and a strange if impromptu beginning. It could be one of the most amazing things I've written, which is a little cocky but I think its more me understanding just how much as gone into this.

What I'm stuck on, is whether to post sections of it to be critiqued.
On the one hand I want feed-back....BADLY....to the point where I'm threatening my best friend with physical bodily harm so that she will sit down and look over it for me.
But on the other I would like to potentially get it published, and I'm afraid of what putting it out for the whole world to look over and potentially swipe will do.

It is something I must ponder...I will probably end up uploading at least the first few sections, and the small snippets I am most proud of...but as of yet I'm not sure

Any Suggestions?

  • Mood: Dazed
  • Listening to: Run-Snow Patrol
  • Reading: Nausicaa Of the Valley of the Wind-Miyazaki
  • Watching: my sister grow up so fast
  • Drinking: Irish Breakfast Tea

"Dirty Deeds"
By: AC/DC

If you're havin' trouble with your high school head
He's givin' you the blues
You wanna graduate but not in 'is bed [...but not in his debt]
Here's what you gotta do -
Pick up the phone
I'm always home
Call me any time
Just ring
36 24 36 hey [36 24 36 8]
I lead a life of crime

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

You got problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
(She's) He's double dealin' with your best friend
That's when the teardrops start - fella
Pick up the phone
I'm here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We'll have ourselves a ball

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

If you got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain't got the guts
She keeps naggin' at you night and day
Enough to drive you nuts -
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It's time you made a stand
For a fee
I'm happy to be
Your back door man

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Dirty Deeds and they're Done Dirt Cheap

Concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT
Done Dirt Cheap
Neckties, contracts, high voltage
Done Dirt Cheap

It can be at times. But the salary and the constant growth of the field makes it a decision I've made that will ensure career security for myself in the future.
