Good Morning....

...I've been thinking about getting a bonsai tree for a while now, and I think today is the day! peaceful, calming, don't have to walk it, and it's small, so in my mind this all equates to EASY PET. And if you'd like to discuss the nature of bonsai trees and their value as actual pets, then I'm sure someone at Homebase or B&Q would love to help.

I think I might get a green one.....

Meanwhile today is a day of prose and possible Indian food to help the mind write. A little update in the world of Ben:

1) The debut book, "The Written" is finally displaying signs of coming to an absolutely deafening climax, I reckon a good four chapters left and the first draft will be ready for the scrutinising eyes of a select few! It's going to be fun to read through the book as a whole, something I haven't done with one of my drafts for years! Its been quite a few years since I wrote my first attempt at a novel ever, the "The Kanandapur Trilogy", which you never know, I might dive into and rewrite one day...

2) The new house is finally moved into! The last of the clothes and posters were put away and blutacked up, respectively, and the room is actually looking like home now (all with the exception of my bonsai tree that is...)

3) A few short stories, a series of them in fact, could be hitting the blog soon if I get some spare time. They're based on a handful of ideas taken from a bigger story idea that could be on the near horizon, but I can't think about that until "The Written" is finished and tucked away on a shelf! But all my ramblings and tall tales will be up here from time to time anyway, so it's not like I never give you anything is it? I gave you fish too... but just don't feed them too much.

4) And I'm incredibly hungry, as usual, and as such need to go and satiate my rumbling stomach, find some yoghurt or something, maybe soup but that's a little weird at 9.41am....

Enjoy the day, and don't forget if you want more ramblings I'm on Twitter and Facebook!

Much love

Ben
