It's Late, And I Can't Sleep (Something Different)

It's ten past two in the morning here, and unusually for me, I'm finding it very difficult to muster up the willpower to actually get into bed, turn off the lights and succumb to the land of nod. So instead of crossing the hallway and raiding the fridge yet again, I remembered a conversation I had with one of my flatmates earlier about a certain blog of mine, and his scepticism about my current target Twitter following of 500 people. After much debate, we not only came to the conclusion that I need to blog more, but that I need to go to a greater degree of diversity with what I post on here in regards to the actual works of creative writing. And it got me thinking: the book isn't the only writing that I work on (after all, I am on a Creative Writing university course...), so why should I restrict myself to simply just book-related extracts?

So here we go, because really at this hour, I've got nothing better to do than waffle on online to a select audience of faceless strangers. What I'm about to post is my A Level English Language coursework: a piece that has been through such vigorous editing and analysis that I'm actually quite proud to present it as a standalone short piece of writing. (I hasten to add that this extract has absolutely nothing to do with the book in any way.) Enjoy.

Peace. x
