#25 Daily Writing Journal - What is this blog about? Urban African America Angelica and Leyton Writing Dilemma, #SaSwhodareswins

 What is this blog about? 


This blog is primarily a companion for my writing but probably is evolving into an outlet for my thoughts and things I can share. So most things. It could be interesting, boring or whatever. Useful or useless. Depends.  I write it to unwind and because it keeps me writing.

Angelica and Leyton writing dilemma


I'm concerned about the progress and the direction I should take. I think it's probably because I've done a lot of courses in a short while. I may put it up for critique at the writers' workshopping site I belong to - scribophile.com. It's very good. I'm not so sure because it's not the story but the style and syntax, I'm worried about. Or should I just go for another story? I have three novels-in-progress. All I've mentioned in varying degrees on this blog.

 I have written this blog on and off since December 2012 so about 6 years. Maybe I'm aiming too high. I should just crack on.

SAS: Who Dares Wins - #SaSwhodareswins - the therapy show

There is this reality show on a UK channel where people join up to see if they make it into the UK special armed/military forces called the SAS. I'm not sure what the prize is but my colleague raved about it so I decided to watch it on catch-up TV. 

Basically these guys are taken to a specially built mountain camp (I suspect it's somewhere in Scandinavia due the the pinecone etc) and they have to undergo a bunch of tasks that take mental endurance.  This is supposedly about mental endurance but that doesn't really make for good TV.

I watched the last episode with interest especially the elimination process. They got rid of the emotionally teenager 19 year old number 13, even thought she proved she had leadership skills and left Number 20 with the tear-drop tattoo. Objectively and unfortunately,  Number 20 with the tear-drop tattoo had proved that she had no leadership skills and in a tight spot would lose it, or inspire a mutiny which happened on the trek. But this is about interesting people, their challenges and backstory. So she got left in. This is horrible because thought she needs this show more than 19 year old Number 13, I think she needed therapy more. I'm not sure of the ethics of having her as entertainment.  Sure she has fans but it's still a show exploiting her entertainment.

Then there was the boxing match where a woman chose a man because she thought he was a big pussy-cat and he showed her he wasn't. I suspect she thought because he was always cowering in the corner, and crying and struggling, she could pound him. Well, no. He too had a serious story and should ideally be in therapy. 

I've watched two shows so far it's just a different but the same kind of reality show.

My African American & Black Love Romance Adventure Nearly Ready After Four Years.

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read this. This post is going to be about my upcoming black love and African American contemporary romance release, which I think tentatively will be late this year or early 2024. It will be a six-part serialised novel, and I'll reveal the date nearer the time. It has been five years since my last black love romance novel. I have two novellas published on Amazon, and I'm  pleased to finally say, I'm about to publish again. It's been a long time.  I planned to release this book in February 2019, but after a long writer's block and other things, it had taken me this long to complete it.  If you follow this blog on and off, I've spoken about it a lot over the years. I'm thinking maybe I should relabel those blog posts as a series of how it developed.  The Story Description The names have changed well from Angelica to Pippa but it's fine.  Everyone wants someone special but PIPPA MILLER thinks not her. She

On holiday And Vacation in Alcudia,Mallorca

I'm on a holiday break in Mallorca, Spain. So this means a I won't be writing the prompt. On holiday, I normally have a break from  the internet though it's difficult nowadays with free WiFi. The hotel is okay. A four star on the lower end of the scale - this means no kettle and renting the safe.   The higher end have more add ons. The room are tiny but functional and nice however in fairness it is a beach holiday destination so I doubt there is much lounging around. Food is okay. Superb beach. Everyone seems laid back and relaxed.

Finally I'm getting close to a release date for my urban Black Love African America Romance now Pippa & Leyton

I'm working on a pre-release campaign and it isn't going how I'd like it. However if you have being reading me on and off, you'll know I've been writing some novels-in-progress for the longest times!  I stopped writing about it because it just got EMBARRASSING especially when I planned to release this book in 2019. Yes, five years ago! But it's nearly there.  Leyton & Pippa The heroine started off being called Angelica but I kept on misspelling it so I changed it to Pippa. If you look under the label Angelica & Leyton a lot will come up.  Anyway I'm exciting to say, I'm getting reading for publication soon.  Its going to be a six-part serialised instalment, and I'll have details nearer the time.  Maybe A Six Months Countdown I'm planning between three to six months, however when the details are clear, I'll write a post. I'm also doing an extended blog posts on another blog but I'll keep it short and simple here.
