I have been intending to write this post for some time but i never seem to get round to putting this one down.
its to do with how my work influences me. well more to do with the way the written word has influenced me over the past year or so. i have found, like most things in my life, the influences around me affect my choices. like all people. from working with books i have started to glance through them. from doing this i have looked at many different authors styles of writing some have gone right over my head i and am no the wiser what the book is about from the moment i pick it up to the moment i put it down. (these books are more often than not the ones that find there way on a date with power tools.) but some books i seem to just get. some of them i feel a connection to. i just get them. more often than not they are biographies. I feel there is something special with a story of a person’s life. like an honest account of a situation.
but a book that i have just got. a book that gave me the opportunity to say just do it. a book that i found to open the door and show me the light. the book that said just be you. was this book…
this book although i will admit i haven’t read from start to finish. i just loved the style in which it’s written is simple yet effective. now i know, i said i like bibliographies and some people maybe confused as Ron burgundy, is just a character. and yes your right. but he is written as if he is speaking. the goes off topic and loses his train of thought and that’s ok. the message is still there. and i feel like i can relate to this. because i spend so much time going over my work paragraph by pharoghrape trying to remove all the red lines checking my grammar. ( like a lot of people probably do) i often forget what it was that i was trying to say and i end up just sitting here looking at the screen with a blank look on my face trying to remember my point.
this book does exactly the same, and when the point has been remembered its brought back into topic. it gave me the confidence to say well if a book like this can be published and that is acceptable then, hell i can give it a go.
