Breaking the Mould

I regularly break the laws of everything in my writing. The laws of physics, the laws of nature, the rules of writing which really stand more as guidelines; a 'how-to' on how to write a successful novel.

The end result, I feel, will be one of the least marketable books around. I'm not writing to cater to what is currently in vogue. I'm writing for fun, to push boundaries and possibly to irk a few of the more conventional-minded people out there. Money simply isn't on my agenda.

I often describe my own novel as 'a freewheeling load of bollocks'. Which, essentially, it is. The characters are always flitting from one place to another (usually drunk) and while there is some semblance of plot, more often than not it randomly starts raining sleighbells.

Genre and conventions might just be the vice that stifles progress. )

tl;dr: ANARCHY!
