So, my random thoughts I was going to set down here have completely slipped out of my head like so much melted butter that I will have to start again...
I am not good on Tuesdays. They vex me. I think I use up all my energy on Mondays and its downhill for the rest of the week. By Wednesday, the end is in sight (its distant, but its there). But Tuesdays... *sigh*
-----------------
I think I have picked a penname if I am going to pursue the romance side of my writing. Some of the scenes get a bit em... detailed so if I am writing fanatsy with a "from 14 years old" target, I don't want confusion arising over something a little more... shall we say adult. Styles vary. Fashions vary. Tastes vary. Something written by a fantasy writer wouldn't necessarily market to a romance reader.
Hey! I'm trying to think business here. It doesn't happen very often!
So, I have finally - I think - picked a name. No one else seems to be using it. (I Googled). And I'm not going to tell you what it is. I can be a person of mystery for a while. (Strangely enough, I typed mysery first. I hope that's not an omen.)
Hmmm maybe I am overthinking this....
---------------------
I watched a WONDERFUL film last night called Once. Seriously, strongly recommend it. A very gentle, genuine love story, or rather a story about love perhaps. Glen Hansard from the Frames and Markéta Irglová take the lead. It was written and directed by John Carney. One of the songs may be up for an Oscar (sadly it may not be eligible and that still has to be decided). GO AND SEE THIS FILM. Or get it on DVD but make sure you get to see it.
The other fine thing about it is that it gives this picture of Dublin that is very close to the Dublin I know, rather than the Bord Failte tourist version. Grafton Street, Stephens Green, Mountjoy Square, bits of Fairview and Phibsboro... And Dalkey and Killiney hill in all their glory. You even get to see the Sugarloaf in the distance. My house is near there. Technically, with a very strong magnifying glass and superpowers you could see my house in some of the scenes! Seriously though, I grew up walking Dalkey Hill, and along the Vico Road. Its is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Really. Look!
I'll post one of my photos up here in a bit too.
Here goes...
Yes, I grew up within walking distance of this. I am very very lucky!
Anyway, here's a trailer
