Thinking Of My Next Book....

Today I am wondering is my raison detre to annoy people who propagate and perpetuate misinformed populist dung.  I have spent much of my Facebooking time today doing this and, to my ALMOST shame, enjoyed it.  I have been feeling a little like a mean alpha girl.  No, I take that back.  I could never be a mean alpha girl.  I was a geeky kid and I would never be deliberately mean to somebody just because they don't know what they are talking about.  Or would I?  Oh, dear.  *Heaves a sigh from deep near the solar plexus*.  But it's oh, so difficult, peeps.  When I see a thread of comments that are laughable in their utter ignorance, not to mention the woeful spelling and grammar, it's a lot like some moron in tight pants and an appliqued jacket waving a red cape and bellowing, 'Toro!  Toro!' at me.  So I have been taking a slightly malicious glee is pointing out the errors to a horde of people whose scalps are probably burning beneath the layers of tin foil, and who would probably be better off solving the puzzles in Take 5 magazine (when they were able to remove the crayons from their noses).

Today was pupil free, but my sprog return to their classes tomorrow.  I am considering making notes for what will be my fifth novel.  The vagaries in my mind have involved revisiting the bad-tempered, impatient, yet fiercely intelligent heroine of my first ever novel.  I'd like to see how she is, perhaps ten years down the track, which would make the setting of the novel 2009.  Or maybe I will making it a big earlier, and she will have married the guy with whom she hooked up with at the end of my novel.  I'm sure they would end up hitched; he's the only bloke who can tame and amuse my bad tempered crab of a protagonist.  Of course she will have to lock horns again with the antagonist, that slimy politician.  My first novel was inspired by 'The Bonfire of the Vanities' - brilliant social satire.  In my novel, 'Calumny While Reading Irvine Welsh', my protagonist finds her life turned upside down by the media after ostensibly being involved in the death of the mother of a popular politician.  Check it out.  The first chapter is at http://www.zeus-publications.com/calumny_while_reading_irvine_welsh.htm.
