I went to a huge bookshop today, something like Waterstones, and bought a book about how to write books.
I know I shouldn't get another bloody book, but I have always wondered how to actually write one. I am quite excited about it , and have decided not to be too ambitious with my first book.
It will be filled with gentle bit**ings. Title :
SINGAPOREAN
Conversations Overseas
Mostly, I find that I like my country when I am far away from it. The most often known facts about singapore? Chewing gum, fines, cleanliness and our anti-drug policy. Well read folks would mention SIA and the singapore sling. People who have actually visited singapore will mention all the above.
Its not bad, at least it has an identity.
But back to the book about writing a book ! Exciting !!! I am going to give it a shot. Really. Its high time I did, and to think about it, I have tonnes to write about provided my mom never reads it. I am sure I have written an equivalent of a book if I combined this blog with the older one. I have been blogging since I was 16. Its not a work of genius, but it has been said the first draft is always terrible.
