If you fancy writing a dystopian novel in which a society has decided to throw away a certain demographic for the greater benefit of the rest of the people, then go for it Reg. I'll let you have the title.
They say everybody's got a book in them but I reckon that's bollocks. Well as long as you're judging on a reasonable standard of length and quality. Keeping the concentration level up to have consistent characterisation with a significant plot is something that at least my brain can't cope with. Others might have better luck.
I started writing a book circa 1975...I'm still working on it. Its not a work of fiction.
biography?
or either yourself or someone still living?
Nah...nothing arty. A photographic and personal interpretation of neolithic standing stones and stone cicles in the British Isles.
I remember some drunk frumpy older lady telling me about stone circles and history etc. around Swindon and Wiltshire in the beehive one night. Actually she's around the pub's of Old Town quite often if it's the same bird. Crazy, eccentric and very arrogant when drunk and in a bad mood. I think the only time I talked to her properly (ie. not having a cigarette outside the vic) she might have said she was a lecturer at Swindon college or something.
I'd imagine you'd know who I was talking about if I hadn't made her up or merged different people whilst drunk.
I think I know who you're talking about....I wont name names, but said lady I found very ill mannered, and therefore had to have words on more than one occasion...the great thing is she's so pissed she never remembers and bears no ill will...I decided the reason why she wound me up was my fault..we now get on OK.
