I've been reading up on blogs and what should and shouldn't go into one. Similar to the amount of advice that's out there regarding writing and publishing; there's a huge amount of data which often contradicts other pieces of advice. So I've just decided to start writing my blog and see what happens.
As a writer of humorous fiction I guess I really should try and be witty here and write something so inordinately funny that readers want to rush out and buy my first novel, Driven to Distraction.
Driven to Distraction
Well here's the link...just in case.

Comedy is an odd thing. Everyone's sense of humour is different and it can't really be measured. Two people can laugh out loud at one stand-up comic but only one of them enjoys a different one. Why do I cry with laughter watching Mrs Brown's Boys on TV and yet sit stony-faced watching Fawlty Towers?

My comedy influences that have helped shape me and my writing over the years include, comedians Victoria Wood and Frankie Howerd, writer John O'Farrell and the series of Carry On... films (Although I don't include that dreadful attempt at Columbus back in the 90s).

Well, looking back at what I've just typed, that certainly wasn't what I planned to write down. Still, I've popped my blogging cherry now. I can tick that off of my things to do list.
