To blog or not to blog

Should I blog or should I concentrate on my to-do list? Is a strange phenomenon, blogging is. I never thought I would hear myself say this, but blogging has enriched my writing life. I can't think of any other medium that is as private and as public as blogging. Here I am, writing away, my blog as yet undiscovered by the billions of web users out there, allowing me to revel in my online obscurity. A paradox if ever there was one.

Takes me back to the early days of Ready Writer mag. A friend was talking to her sister in the States about the site, only for the sister to say, 'I know the site. I visit it regularly. I freaked out. 'But surely, that's one of the reasons why you put the site up; to be heard and read,' my friend said.

And there it is; to be read and heard. That's why I do this.

I'm still nervous about White Man's Curse, my current Work in Progress (WIP). I think I'll leave it and start working on the screenplay for God has daughters too. I figured, if the BBC can rework the Canterbury Tales I might as well jump on the bandwagon and do the same with my book. Have I ever written a television screenplay before? Nope. Do I know anything about selling screenplays to producers? Nope. I believe in God. I have faith. I can and will succeed in hustling my screenplay to producers. So farewell - for the time being - to White Man's Curse, hello to Syd Field's book on screenwriting and GHDT. Speaking of which, I haven't even got a copy of the GHDT. Excuse me while I nip out to the bookshop...
