Do you have the temerity to write a book, poems, song or even paint a picture? Could you press the send button or post that letter and wait and wait longer than even that? For ever in God's waiting room. Why don't you get that file up on the screen and start writing your book again? Or have you got more sense?
There is even the argument that there are very few markets for working class writer's today. I can't think of many male working class authors being interviewed on television recently can you? Perhaps that's what I have been doing wrong all these years. I have been aiming my working class books at a middle class audience?
Do you write? Please tell me what you think. We have had Black Friday. Today I am calling it: Temerity Tuesday. Get writing that book or painting that picture!
I feel like the next song this week. Good old Thin Lizzy. My favourite Irish band. I once saw them in Manchester in 1981. Showing my age.

Tuesday. I painted a picture titled They Want It In Writing and framed it. It's worth a thousand words. I have a blogger book of 40 of my poems and it is called Poetry Rat. It is there for all to read at http://www.poetryrat.blogspot.com - however I did win a Purple Patch best small press poetry book of the year for a real book but it was my only attempt and I found it time consuming and much like hard work, the editing, mailing, cover design, and other bits and bats, that I resolved not to do it again. In print at any rate.

ReplyDeleteHi LA. The muse will strike and you won't want to do anything but write. Are there any writing groups where you live? You could always start one. Good luck with the writing.
DeleteHi Dave, are there many people that are truly working class now? I was under the impression if you owned your own home you are middle class?
ReplyDeleteHi Sol. I am talking about ordinary people from poor backgrounds who have something to say or show to the world. People like the John Lennon and Phil Lynott's of the rock world, sport stars, artists and of course writer's.
DeleteThere are plenty of ordinary people with lots to say and writing and making short films. I know a few of them.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel. I think if William Blake was around in our time he would have a blog like you and I and write poems about ordinary people like the chimney sweep. Have you done any more drawing/ painting lately?

NATURAL HERBS AND REMEDIES FOR CURING HIV, HERPES, HPV, HSV1&2, CANCER AND DIABETES I just experienced the wonders of Dr. Kham herbs. God will continue to bless you Dr. Kham more abundantly for the good work you are doing in people's life by curing them from different types of diseases. I will keep on testifying about your good work. I was diagnosed with herpes 6 months ago and my doctor told me that there is no cure. I did not believe him and I keep my faith up hoping that one day I will be cured from this horrible disease. One day I saw a post on the Herpes Virus Blog forum about a herbal doctor called Dr. Kham on how he cures people from diseases with his herbs and I quickly contacted Dr. Kham on his email explained my problem to him and he told me not to worry that he is going to cure me and truly he prepared the cure and sent it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to take it. After two weeks of taking the herbal Medication, I went to my doctor for a checkup and my results showed Negative and my doctor told me that there is no trace of herpes in my body and the virus is completely gone from my body. Everybody at the clinic rejoices with me and they all ask for Dr. Kham contact.

ReplyDeleteHow Herbal Medicine Cured me completely. Does anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural supplements and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on surgery, injections and drugs each time they are sick. My Diabetes was totally cured with natural herbs. Earlier this year I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes and my blood sugar was very high, I was recommended to use insulin medication which later have side effect on my health, I decided to stop using insulin medication and was recommended to use Herbal medicine after I read series of testimony of doctor ELINFOH Herbal medicine on the internet, bloggers site and radio stations, I purchased Dr.ELINFOH herbal medicine for diabetes which he sent to my address through a delivery company and I received the herbal medicine within a couple of weeks and the doctor directed me how to use the herbal medicine for 21 days. After concluding the herbal medicine I decided to go for a blood test and my blood sugar was detected to be normal, Today I am diabetes free with no side effects. Contact Dr ELINFOH via email: drelinfohherbalhome@gmail.com or Call/Whatsapp +2348110492072 for more information. He said he has herbal remedies for; Hepatitis, Kidney diseases, Heart diseases, Cancers, High blood pressure, Fat reducing, Infertility, Lyme diseases, Herpes Virus, Cold Sores, Shingles, rectum diseases.
