Lest I Forget

notes from a midlife muser - grabbing those thoughts before they turn to memory mush

June 20, 2002

which is why...

I've had an idea for a book, which I've played with over the past 10 years.
It's slowly developed in my head but little, other than scratchy one-liners, have made it to paper.
That hasn't stopped me getting giddy and I've visualised the premier when it's released by hand-made films or Channel 4.

Then I started to read ‘How to be Good’, Nick Hornby's latest and there it is, on page 9 - my storyline reduced to 3 lines.
Not just reduced, but postulated, critiqued and then rejected as too cheesy, in 3 funny lines.

Which is why ... Nick Hornby is a great, successful writer and I'm ... not.
