Things about writing.

 I'm a writer. I write things. I write blogs and essays and poems and song and ramblings. And books.. I write books too. It's fairly common that when I say that I write(especially if I say I write novels) people get curious and want to read something I have written. This does not bother me at all, I like that people are interested in my work and I feel bad that I don't have anything to give them. You see, I've always felt that no one should read my books until I am finished or close to finished. Otherwise they will see a sloppy version of the story. 

  One of the hardest things for me is when some asks THE QUESTION (cue dramatic music)...................... "So, what's your book about?"

I cringe just typing it. You might wonder why this is such a problem for me. You might roll your eyes and tell me that it's not that big of a deal. 

But it is. Oh, it is.

  Here's the thing: Writers are supposed to be eloquent, right? Sure. Awesome. You give me a piece of paper and pen and tell me to write about my book, no problem. But you ask me to explain it to you in conversation and it goes something like this: "Well, um, basically there's this guy and there's a terrorist and he falls in love with his daughter...I mean... he doesn't fall for his own daughter, he falls for the other guy's daughter... and...  it's complicated because, like, he has to stop these bombs..." 

*insert face to palm*

  I wish I could give you two sentences that would spark your interest, make you want me to keep writing, make you want me to finish, and get published, and put me at the same table as J. K. Rowling and Stephan King. (Seriously, where is that table?...I want to hang out there."

But instead of arousing intrigue and wonder I arouse a half-hearted, "Well, I hope that works out for you.." *person awkwardly changes subject*

  The reason why I am writing this post is because I'm thinking about putting an exert from one of my books up here so instead making a fool of myself I can just send people this way. And also for you people who are reading this so you can have something if you curious. Or bored. 

  So yes, I will look over my stuff and try to find something remotely interesting.  

  In other news I got a film Camera from an Antique store and it is amazing. I will posting pictures soon. 

  And in other news other than the other news: I started an Instagram account for my blog (@coffeecountry) so I can post little things, give updates, and mostly just show a lot of cool pictures of coffee shops and coffee mugs and other such coffee things around America. So you should check that out. 

Lastly, I have three coffee houses to talk about and show pictures of that I am pretty excited about, so tune in next week (probably) for that. 

  Peace out.
