My excerpt from an imaginary book...
My mind is the clearest at night. Like mice, I feel my thoughts burrowing the deepest in the quiet hours when others slumber. (Hence, why this blog is titled such.)
Long ago when my home was up North and my bed beside the window, I could observe the moon and stars right where I lie. I could see the shades of grey on the face of the moon, the bright glitter of some stars and the wanning light of others. I wondered from childhood what it would be like to live on the moon, as I wondered the same about clouds... a clear brainwashed effect from CareBears. I wondered if I would like the solitude esp. when I get tired and weary of the hustle and bustle and the incessant 'noise' around me. Naturally, logic and good sense prevails. It's not possible to live on the moon or in the clouds.
Tonight, I thought about the book I had wanted to write. The book about a boy who was stranded on a silver whale and his many advantures. I am still at Chapter 1. I have all the plots and intricate details worked out. But words fail me when I try to pen it. I don't think my thoughts would ever get inked. I don't want to excuse it as writer's block; I'm not a writer. It's just plain laziness and procrastination.
And I procrastinate too often, so often that it is becoming a habit. I think if I'm not careful, Procrastination will feast away my life. Already, I knew in my deepest soul, I had stopped living.

you have the talent and capacity to write fabulous stuff, ah san. i really look forward to your first book. tolkien took a lifetime to write 'lord of the rings' and was still not finished when he died, so you are not too bad :)
Thank you ah... you are probably my 1st and only fan... muaa ha ha ha. I doubt I'll take a life time cos I doubt there will be a book even when I have "straighten my legs"... :P
