I write more than songs and poetry. i also write a book, been working on ot for some 4 years now (i keep changing and re-editing and stuff... i only have about 40 pages so far, wich is very little, but it's hand written, so... anyway, if i devide it in to parts, then the first part could be finished very soon, if i sit on it for about 2 hours every day, 'cause when i'm in the mood and know more or less how i want to contenue, i cover pages over pages very fast. not a very organized method, if you don't have the whole story planed, and you just make it up spontaniesly, then you're very likely to forget detailes and then your story becomes inconsistant. but it's the only way i can get along with.... and i also don't know how i want to finish- damn, i'm not even at the half yet. it's going to be a great story. if ONLY for the fact that it is not so completely planed. it's dinamic, it's changing, it has all of my moods and thoughts and ups and downd in it. i like it, because you can actually "smell" me on each and every page, as if i was telling it to you personaly. one of the people who have read it said that it feels like the story is.. sort of... alive. i like that. i wouldn't change my writing method. it's not the best, but it's mine.
however...
my book is not written in english, and i'm not in a level where i can translate all that's in it to English quite yet. i intend to try, but others and greaters than me have trouble doing those things right... and if that would change my book, or that some of it will get lost on the way or that it would be ANY less good than it is in Hebrew, that would upset me. i'd rather not to even try for now. and writing\ translating 40 pages all over again, not to mention typing the whole thing, would be an imposible mission for me. frankly, i don't even know how to start. it's really, i mean REALLY frustrating. very much so. untill i do so, i won't be able to present my book to anyone who doesn't speak Hebrew (most of the world). and i'm most upset about not being able to present it to anyone on here (writersco), and it's an entirely different thing from my poems. but i have my blog, though, and i will try to write at least a "triger" for my story. and for me, like, even just being in Writersco feels like it does for a child in a cany shop. so, for now...
this will do, won't it?


oh, yeah, and... it's good to have friends in high places.

"Go out in time
Go out in time
let everything be ready and set
Go out exactly in time
and don't forget your head
and don't forget the time
- what, has it passed?
 so fast?
gone away?
let it stay..."

the size doesn't count
i know, i heard, i see.
yet another stupid idea
of bloody democracy.
