BREASTS on writing

Ooh, those are fookin beauts boys!

Hello. Sorry about the mini blog earlier - was working earlier and terribly busy but wanted to make very clear i am not shirking my responsibilities as a blogger. I just have trouble remembering the days of the week. Soz

Was very poorly earlier in the week. After Urban Hype (thanks Fearg) I spent the weekend peering through gunky eyes and shivering/sweating. Yep, fit. On a positive note i ate hardly anything for four days and then fitted into a really tiny dress on tuesday. Every cloud has a monochrome eighties-feel lining.

Oh no. i think i'm getting the writingrelatingtosex thing that fearg was on about. You see, to continue the very apt analogy (and this is probably more valid for the 'long term relationship' rather than the onenightstandishness), every now and again writing, whilst remaining an enjoyable method of passing the time, can feel rather uninspired and unoriginal. You're, as fearg says, pushing all the right buttons and perfectly good sentances are coming out, but nothing new is really happening, and after a little while you'll round it off to a nice satisfactory conclusion and then probably put the kettle on.

This is especially true of the long-termers, shall we call them the novelists, who already know their text so well they know the correct formula to bring the chapter to it's, ahem, climax. It is almost as if they are spoilt by the proximity of the laptop at any opportunity. The novelty of the novel writing is gone with it's immence availability. Also, the novel is more forgiving; with it's sprawling pages it is possible, when focussing upon a particular paragraph, to break the rhythm somewhat throwing off the chapter as a whole, but this is ok. With so many paragraphs in the book, it will be forgotton and only the perfectly timed and most perfect paragraphs will be reminised upon and quoted.

The onenightstander is closer to the poet. Every word must count, because as we know, if you read one poem that doesn't really grab you, you're not really likely to grab another. You must focus completely on the flow and movement of the words, the way they roll off the tongue and the effect can be very intense. The poet cannot be as lazy a writer as the novelist. The poet has one chance.

At what point does an analogy become erotica? Might put the kettle on.
