Yes, yes you should. I have about a billion of these too.I really need an excuse to go to Fosters and look round the English department for some phrasology books because writing wordplay is getting exponentially harder.
Also I now seem to have the skull from that image I did burnt into my retina, as it keeps appearing in the white on my screen.

I seem to remember my secondary schoolhaving some interesting books on language, including some lovely old etymological dictionaries that smelt amazing.

I just need one with lots of phrases, idioms, proverbs and such in."You know what they say, pride comes before of lions." - so I can do things like that.
Also I swear Fosters was the really old bookshop near leicester square, but googlemap says there is no bookshop on the corner at all now.

Everything is changing.The old bookshop in my town has gone, which is most annoying.

I think it's unlikely to have gone, as it was the oldest bookshop in London.Foyles, doh.
Still, I don't see why googlemap didn't show it with all the others under bookshops.
Also I really need to start writing now, but I swear each chapter is getting harder and I think that the next chapter will be a cakewalk then it manages to be more ridiculously stupid to write than the last.
If anyone knows how to write a icy post alien sex atmosphere and still make it actually funny, you'll have to get in touch with me...

Have you done bullet points to plan your chapters?

The entire book is already written out in so much as the actual events (this is a rewrite remember)It's just that making it funny, interesting or even vaguely well written is fucking difficult.
The original story made far too serious an attempt (and a really shit serious attempt at that) at showing the indecision in the main character's mind, and why despite the fact that an alien girl just jumped him and then cooked him breakfast afterwards he was still fairly nonplussed about the whole thing.

Sounds like all men to me.Nonplussed, angry or pompous.

The main character was based on me.So thanks for that one.
I still think terminal melacholy for a main character is a pretty brave choice though.
