happy new year



spoke to editor at canongate about edits for this book on the phone
i have a lot to do i think
time to put on something with sleeves
and then roll the sleeves up
and then take the something off
and then take a shower
and then drink tea
and then have a cigarette
and then sleep for a while
and then lie in bed listening to radio 4
and then roll around in bed a little
and then walk the dog
and then learn how to pick locks with sharpened fingernails
and then start doing edits

that is my plan for the new year
woah
what a year

can you still buy 'golden nuggets'

i have run out of things to say now
goodbye
have fun

evening gowns, breadcrumbs, this is a desk now

it is four minutes close to eight. i am sat at a desk. this is the desk where i sit now. it is black outside. i am wearing a ball gown and i have urinated in my boxer shirts. not really. the house across the road is full covered with christmas lights. mostly they are blue and white. there is not as much snow now. there was a lot of snow. i walk the dog in the field over the road and the snow came up to my calves. lots of middle aged women walk their dogs in the field. they say hello to me. i say hello to them. cold isnt it, they say. yes, i say, it is cold. the field is white. really cold, i say. adding 'really cold' onto the end is a sort of social flourish i think. look, it says, i am extremely good at talking to you. i can extend the house into the garden and add value. the indian man in the shop at the end of the round doesnt ask for my id anymore. he always sighs. i feel he knows secrets about something. i walked to the library today too. it was the last day it will be open until after christmas. i held a book by ismail kadare and thought, so you won the booker prize did you. tried to write again today but couldnt. didnt get to watch all of loose women. woke up at 1. told nan i woke up at 12. walking on the pavement today i wanted to run across the road and hit two small girls who laughed between each other because i thought they were laughing because i am boring and nothing. even though i am. everything is fine. by all accounts. curtains drawn. we take baths and we wear towels. nothing much at all.

good morning news

so canongate will be publishing my next book in july. it is exciting. i will be financially fine and able to move to back to london and do nothing but write for a year. the book is called Grow Up & Blow Away, at the moment. the name may change. being on canongate means sitting next to chris killen and miranda july and yann martel and barack obama. things are okay. good morning. night night.
