Where's Wally Been?

Hello all, it's been a while to say the least. I hope you all are well. Today, I finally felt it was time to update the old blog and explain my sudden disappearance. Firstly, I moved rather suddenly and had to wait a while for the wifi to be sorted. Then my bloody lap top broke. And after the release of Life Inside a Psychopathic Balloon, I finally asked, "What am I doing?"

So due to these new circumstances, I decided to take my time and come to the correct decision for myself. After the release of Life Inside, I had kind of had enough with the self publishing world for the moment. I think, doing everything myself had lost its appeal and I was just tired of seeing erotic books shoved in my face, promoted via topless men. I mean, where's the imagination. I even stayed off social net working sites for a while and it's easier than you think. I didn't miss philosophies, accompanied by yellow suppositories with eyes, posted endlessly until I was convinced it was time to commit mass murder. I didn't miss pictures of peoples food or their constant sharing of people doing idiotic shit. I mean, since when did we become a generation of imbeciles with a child's mentality?

So anyway, a few weeks ago, I finally made my decision. Shortly before I found out I would be moving from my home town in September. I'm not moving far, but anywhere that isn't Preston is a blessing. I decided that I would eventually release the Talon Strand. I don't know when, but I will. As for any other writings, they have been abandoned until I actually want to finish them. The great thing is, the last few days, I have actually worked on TTS. I'm not enjoying editing at all, but the want to finish it is more prominent than before.

Recently, I have been chucking around the idea of a web show with a colleague of mine. I even wrote a script for the pilot and it seems extremely appealing to me, especially with my desire to make a film still looming. They would be loosely based around my painful parodies. Saying that though, with my move soon approaching, I have no idea what will happen.

So, lets take a moment to reflect on what I've missed:

Game of Thrones season five: Underwhelming for the most part. The Watch members are now universally hated by women everywhere.

Kayne West claiming to be a genius: Kanye is to music, what E.L. James is to writing. Simply put, a travesty.

Speaking of which, James' Twitter Q and A: If you're going to release shit books and host a social interview, prepare for backlash. I found it highly amusing as most of the points were valid.

Ebola: Where did it go?

Justin Bieber: Unfortunately still alive.

Minions: Still for small children.

My Nan: Still at bingo.

Batman Vs Superman: It's going to be awesome.

Suicide Squad: Will be saved by Jared Leto's Joker and Harley Quinn.

Deadpool: My favourite comic book character finally gets a proper treatment.

I think that's most of it. So farewell for now people of earth.

Much love,

C.S
