Writer

Dear Buddies of Mine,

Yes, I am still alive and I apologise for taking so long to actually update my blog. You can say that I've been rather busy. Actually, I feel like my life has gone through a dramatic upheaval and I'm finding it a little difficult to talk about this 'upheaval.' Recently, I made a conscious decision that the current book I'm writing will be the last fictional book I'll write for a long time. Perhaps in some ways, when you sort of think about what an obsessive writer I am, it does sound worrying but I also feel that this is a gradual progression and I just want to shift my focus to other things. In some ways, I feel like I've accomplished all I can with fiction. I'm at peace, I'm content with life, and things couldn't be better.

On another note, most of my reading these days centres around philosophy. I got my hands on a copy of American Psycho and that's near the top of my reading list. Strangely enough, I've yet to read the 6th Harry Potter and I can hear the gasps when you read that but it's the truth. I'm not quite sure why that is. It's sitting on my table, I want to read it, and I imagine that once I have the time I will read it. It's amusing how pretty much my entire blog revolves around my reading and writing.

Lastly, I'm in love with my solitude these days and I've become rather casual in writing or calling people. It's something I've noticed this past week. Of course, I don't mean that in all my friendships and relationships but I have definitely noticed it. It's almost like I've lost my enthusiasm for the whole socialising process. Should I be worried? Perhaps I should but I also think that it's part of my whole decision to make a shift in my writing. And for the love life? Everything is well in paradise. By the way, are we still meeting up this Sunday ???
