The first thing i ever tried to write was a novel based around the diary entries of three main characters. set in the future looking at the effects of the AIDS virus on vampires. it had stalled at 30,000 words and been forgotten about (for 20 years) untill the first lock down here in England. now standing at 76,000 plus all it needs is a convincing middle. tonights Haibun at Dverse gave me the idea of adding a Haiku to an entry to a musicans diary ( John Eccles one of the main characters) entry to kick start start his song writting. #writersblock, #dverse

John Eccles: – Eight hours of sitting in a room of grief. That’s how long it took to get to speak with each of the families of those who dies at the hands of Eddy. That’s it our legal representative has informed us of the legal action being taken against us. We are no longer able to legally perform to a live audience. As we there is no market for recorded music since the streaming revolution any more that is us done as a band. We are going to stay together as we are family for most of our members.

            The writer’s block I am suffering has broken. The grief this has brought on is cursing through me waking the song writer in me while bringing my heart down to one of life’s low points. With the following haiku making the chorus to my next song. Hopefully this will express our regreat over not giving Eddy enough support in these hard times.

Oh, Why Eddy why?

Took Tumbleweed to hell with you.

After our love famine!

  1. That’s a coincidence, Rog, I’m working on an ‘old’ novel idea (3 years old) at the moment, and I’m a bit stuck with the middle section. Perhaps I should add some haiku!

  2. My two “unpublished novels, BLACKTHORNE, & BAERBAK, were finished early on; before 1970, I resurrected BLACKTHORNE by making it into Cinemagenic poetry. 40 years of dust is hard to shake off.

  8. So the pandemic became the muse. That’s indeed taking the bull by the horns. Good luck with your novel
