June Update - Novel-In-Progress, Reading books, The curious case of Mister Big Man

Another update, yay! I hope everyone is keeping well.

Novel In Progress


It seems I write an average of 10,000 words a month so I'm estimating another 40,000 words. This means I'm looking at an October finish. Let's make that November.

It's going okay and a bit slow because I'm also doing some research so that slows down the pace. Saying this, I'm glad I'm past the midpoint and heading to the first crisis point.

I had no real time for this. 

Books

I'm doing a YA Fantasy reading tour and up to now have read about five. They all tend to have the same baseline story and characters. I have plenty of books-in-the-pipeline and it is only after finishing the current one will I review the others. 

A lot time ago, I did a children writing course so maybe this might be something I could do. 

The curious case of Mister Big Man

Save your self image


This is messy it is what it is. Mister Big Man knows everything but really knows nothing and opines at lot about stuff just to hear his own voice. Once in a while, he gets verbally slapped back, and in those cases, Mister Big Man cowers into a virtual corner and is very appologetic. He is one of those who rub folks or maybe just me, up the wrong way with his behaviour.

At first, Mister Big Man seems he's talking sense but on examination he's talking out of his behind. Gas. Pure gas in a crowded elevator or lift.

However it is the way of the internet so one keeps out of people's way least be called a 'hater'. A long time ago, you could point things out, or 'call them out' but now but now it will be like you are affecting their 'mental health'. And with age and maturity one asks doe it really matter?

Does it really matter Mister Big Man is full of nonsense, and an egotistic numbskull? He's not urinating on my parade, and though at times (to be fair most of the time) can be irksome and annoying, I'm not the one looking the fool. I'm not the emperor viturally walking butt naked, thinking I'm all that.

So it really doesn't concern me. People talk nonsense all the time, and they have enablers who hang on every word they say. It does make me think, perhaps it's a generational and cultural thing. Perhaps I don't understand how some may consider Mister Big Man's gas to be the scent of roses. I must be missing the point. Who knows?

Then again I have to ask why does Mister Big Man evoke that feeling in me?

Then I thought maybe Mister Big Man is just an inner representation of myself. Maybe he is reflecting what I don't like about me, so it evokes a reaction. Then again maybe Mister Big Man is just an annoying man. There is no point in analysing this, he could be just one of those annoying people.

Till next month, take care and keep safe.

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and   steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Show me your desk: Books, magazines, bottle of water, and same old clutter.

Today I have more of a writerly desk, so let's roll. From the far left handside is my writing magazine, I treat myself to it, and it has some interesting articles at times. It's just something I flick though the way other people buy GQ, Vougue or Marie Claire. It's my monthly interest magazine, and no I don't do the writing exercises but then who buys all the clothes, make-up and perfume advertised in the high-end women's magazines.  Next is a bottle of vitamins, this was a gift from Sis. Yes, as you probably realise, Sis is very generous with her gifts as they are normally featured on my desk. If fact the Apple Notebook is also one.  A small fact is that I bought my first phone only two years ago because for the last ten years, Sis gave me all her hand-me-downs. She's very on top of technology - ahead of the curve, wave or early adaptor.  Anyway she got me them because she's into healthy eating and body care, and probably got them on discount. ...

March Update: Photoshop Composting, Writing, Meal Plan, My first trip out of my area.

  This is one of the composites, I created in one of the courses. This was based on graphic design and I feel like an island floating in a new landscape. It is a composite of three images with a bit of blending.  This was from a boo Photoshop Composting I'm still finding my way with this, so I have the technical skills which I realise it a matter of masks and blending modes however the next thing is to keep on doing it until I learn the principles of graphic design. It's complicated to explain and I'm still finding my way but basically at some point I need to start doing my own stuff, and right now those images look a bit awkward until I get the design aspect right. It can be fun but also some aspects can be tedious and boring. And I guess it's a matter of keep on practice,  and I also want to get to the point, I can use my own pictures.  Writing  Going well and steady, nothing significant to report on that front. But I'm looking at a soft deadline of completing...
