It is indeed.So much charm. It's like my love for Sultans of Ping FC- there's an unprepossessing humanity at the centre of it all that it actually makes a horrific troll like me nearly like the world, and most of the people in it.

I've had the whole Toy STory series played over and over and over again by my 4 year old this ChristmasHe loves all of them.
So do I. I'm not bored of it. Number 3 is spectacular, but number 2 runs it close, and may even be better.

I used the wrong mug in the microwaveusually the mug handle is warm but not hot, but the ceramic handle heated up immensely so when I picked it up it burnt those two fingers quite badly. I put the cup down quite hard (didn't spill) and it splashed on the back of my hand as well.
I'm going on the coach so no worries about weight thankfully. How're you Jeff?

I once took a basic outline of a script for a Panto, and fleshed it out to be about an hour long, but needed moreI then showed it to a friend, to gauge her response. She wasn't critical, but simply gave me ideas. Sadly, when I sat down to consider them, I realised I didn't give a shit anymore. Not the best!

I did several creative writing modules on my degree and my lecturers always said I was one of the best in their class.I haven't done any serious writing in years though- I was much better at literary criticism, just missed a first in fact.
I would love to get back into writing but I feel my writing senses are too dulled by work, age, and being exposed to crass stupidity every day.
Any advice to an old git?

Yeah that's a lot more than I ever wrotemine were short stories. And I'll frequently write about three lines of a song and decide it's complete shite, bin it, then decide three days later that actually it wasn't, be unable to find it or finish it, and bin it again.

A lad living in a smallish industrial town who's about to become an adult and realises there's a lot more to the world than he's been told.Then he breaks from the norms, finds happiness of sorts, gets condemned by society and falls through the cracks, ending up in a "care" facility that's a thinly-disguised prison.
It's a mixture of real life and nightmares, with plenty of backchat and black humour on the way. Got about 30 sides of A4 so far, it's about 1/6 to 1/4 done.

I've always thought that while it's important to write about what you knowIf you write too personally then you run the risk of getting too close to the subject- a writer needs critical distance to gain authority over their work, rather than have the work itself dominate the process.
