I’m sure a photography blog without any photos isn’t the best idea in the world. I’m going to break the mould just because I’m that kind of guy. The aim is that for one day a week, a month, or even a year, I’m going to post words with no pictures. Welcome to “Word Filled Wednesday”. Don’t worry, it’s not all going to be words, I’m also planning a day where I will post a photo with no text.
Why?
I have the idea of writing a photography related book. I feel it’s a slightly odd, (hopefully) early midlife crisis decision, right before I buy that convertible sports car or motorbike. I’m not sure why this idea has popped into my head at this point in my life. I’m coming close to completion on a purchase of my first house so I’m not going to have a lot time for writing, or taking photos other than before and afters of home interiors; I’ll try not to bore you all too much with them!
I’m a little reluctant to release the exact subject of the book because there doesn’t seem to be any competition at the moment, though it’s likely I haven’t looked hard enough. The writers amongst you all may want to warn me of the minefield that I’m about to approach. I’m aiming small to start with. Creating and publishing an eBook, just a small enough challenge to almost be possible.
But why are you boring us with words? Save them for your book!
My memory can be bad for good ideas. I get ideas, and forget them and if I make notes of them on sticky notes they soon get lost, thrown away or deleted in a regular desktop tidy up. If I share my ideas with you all on my blog, there’s the hope that at least one person will remember and email me
“That book you said you were writing, how’s it working out?”
That one person will receive a personal assistant job offer from me when I become a famous photographer and author.
