Hmmm... I have started several entries since the last one and scraped them all. I have got this itch to write but nothing to write about (except tedious technical stuff for work). Thought I had something a few minutes ago while reading William Gibson latest book and got out of bed to write it but it's gone. I think what I really have is the itch to get back into writing fiction. Not that I am particular good at it but I did enjoy doing it.
I always wrote good (relative mind you) stories when I was lonely and pissed. A lot of my earlier years of college I was is a perpetual state of angst and desperately trying to get second dates, and most of my writing was done back than. If you can believe it I once placed third in a creative writing contest my sophomore year. For what every reason I was able to focus the negative feelings into stories. I have not serious tried to write fiction in several years but my last attempts lacked any bite, probable due to my relative contentment with my present state of existence. I will have to find another way, another focus for the writing, but at the moment Norton just started its weekly scan on my poor old laptop and I really should get some sleep.
If anyone has got a suggestion for a good replacement for Norton Internet Security I would love to hear it. My subscription is nearly up and that program is like towing the anchor off a battle ship with a row boat. I need something a little more resource friendly.
What do you know and entry...
