Hello

Hello. I’m an author and as such I really should have a blog.
It would give me “internet presence”.
I could dazzle the world with how literary and clever I am.
I could give snippets of my work. I could make people want to read more.
I could be discovered and wouldn't work in a shop.
I could talk about my life. I could talk about how I just saw this exciting new film that you’re bound not to have seen because I’m too cult for you. I could tell you it was called Pi and tell you how amazing it is and – ergo – how amazing I am for having seen it.
But whatevs. I could watch only Pi in ten minute chunks. It was very tedious and very pretentious and the fact that I had a two-year old prescription in my glasses made it even more tedious. I walked the last half an hour with a current prescription in my glasses and it was still blurry and I still didn't like it.
"Ooh, like, it’s really deep because it’s like sometimes societal forces make you have to drill a hole in your head. And it’s not like so not standard Hollywood fare. I really love films that go a little deeper. And are like in Black and White."
Again, whatevs. ‘I didn’t get it.’ If you liked it, you’re very clever and I’m very stupid.
Thus my Thex Factor blog was born. It’s an ode to the fact that as writers go, I’m probably very stupid. I don’t like big words and I do very much like The X Factor show.

Every week I’m going to recap the X Factor.
I’m going to rank the performances from best to worst. I’m going to introduce you to lovable characters like Bulliedatschool, Deadwife and Notaracist.
I’m going to have to write something every week. I'm not going to be an author who doesn't actually write anything and just lives at home and watches Ally McBeal because he doesn't have to earn enough to pay rent.
I’m going to have something to do besides jobhunting, waiting for the phone to ring and watching Ally McBeal.

New blog! I’m excited!
