The Munch Bunch and other inanimate talking objects

 I have been looking again at my blog posts from the start and have been amazed by the variety of things that I have written about 

Initially this started out as a way to write about things I liked , things that interested me and my general observations on things but obviously there are only so many topics like that 

I’m not one to write about my feelings , my emotions, quite honestly my daily journal has enough of that stuff in it (yawn) 

I confess since I was a small child I have always wanted to write a book , actually I did write several , mainly about talking vegetables or fruit (inspired by the Munch Bunch) or other inanimate objects coming to life ….yeah I don’t think the world needs more stories like that and as I was only in primary school I don’t think many editors would take me seriously 


Then as a 20 something at the height of the ‘chick lit’ phenomenon I thought a diary type book would be a great idea ……okay Helen Fielding beat me to that with Bridget Jones and several other people produced their own less successful versions followed up by girl finds boyfriend , girl organises wedding , girl has a baby , girl gets a divorce , girl starts dating again books 

I’m interested in Criminology, forensics and pathology but I feel that you need way more knowledge than I have to even attempt to write a novel on these subjects , in fact most authors in this genre have worked in the field prior to their writing careers , the same with law based or police books 


This has always been my issue , I’d like to write a book (and with self publishing now a thing it’s got easier to get your work out there) but I have never ever had an idea that I could put on paper , I think I would end up plagiarising something I had already read or creating something so mundane and boring that I would sell just one copy ……..to my Mum !! (Oh okay , I’d give her a copy obviously) 


So once again the idea of book writing is put on hold , maybe one day a spark of an idea will come to me and I’ll just have to write it , but until then I apologise, you’re stuck with ‘My Mad Ramblings’ on here !!! Xx
