1. Write a book! Woo, yeah, it will be the best book ever, about the internet and stuff, and everyone will want to read it, except newspaper lifestyle columnists, who won't want to read it because it will contain UNPALATABLE TRUTHS.
2. Erm, that's it.
PS Happy New Year!

Yes, yes, write a book. It will be good. And don't think about lifestyle columnists; they're too busy styling their lives to read.
Put me down for 10 copies.
Can I pre-order it on amazon.co.uk yet?
Wait, I think my Internet is showing.
I'm all about unpalatable truths. Go for the throat!
I was going to say what valerie said, but she got here first. HNY to you too.
Ooh yes - unpalatable truths - excellent. I think you would write a good book. Happy New Year.
Unpalatable truths are always good.
Happy New Year to you too!
We should set up some sort of mass blog solely for the purpose of shredding every single article ever written by a lifestyle columnist. It's about time this vermin was hunted to extinction.
Have you got a title for the book? I always get as far as a title and deciding how many chapters the book will have (usually the number is of mystical significance) and then give up.
Again.
ooh, great. Do we get namechecks?
The title is the most important thing, plus having a snappy subtitle how about 'The Unpalatable Truths: what lifestyle columnists don't tell you about anything at all actually if you read them a lot, and they all become irritating after a while even the ones who you liked at first including the ones who get cancer even if they die'.
I'd buy it, ooooo Nina on the radio
A "book" eh?
Well P, if you need anything disgustingly depraved to fill out the centre pages you know where to come.....

p.s. : nxrjfv? Either I'm still *way* too sober, or these wrod vrecficification things are getting too easy....
Not quite lifestyle, but there was a particularly bad article on bloggers in the local rag here on the weekend.
It name-checked Annie Mole, Little Red Boat, and (stay awake please) Petite frigging Anglais.
Yawney yawney cunt cunt, as that mad bint over on Emerald Bile would say.
MAJOR yawnery yawney yawn! Are you sure girlwithonefatbehind wasn't name-checked too? I do read her quite alot actually even though I call her that.
I'm sure the only reason Girl With No Talent Whatsoever wasn't mentioned is that it's a Family newspaper.
PS - Patroclus - sorry for the use of very foul language earlier.
Happy New Year!
"Write a book" is my most frequently made New Year resolution.
"Clean out kitchen cupboards and do ironing" would be more realistic and (in my case) more useful resolutions.
I look forward to reading yours tho'
Happy New Year!
What did you think of the finale?
Bloody hell bella, you *must* write that book! Immediately! I want to read it now!
Realdoc: not seen finale yet, as we were out carousing on the streets of Falmouth. Watching it later today though...
Marsha: what happened to your blog? I looked a few days ago and it had GONE!
I haven't got a title yet for the book (I'm very bad at that, if anyone has any suggestions they would be most welcome), but it has eight (not a mystical number) chapters plus an intro and a conclusion, and I can remember what seven of them are about. Which is a shame, because I'm sure the eighth one was going to be the most AWESOME one, albeit without any monsters or quantum physics.
What about calling it An Introduction, Eight Chapters and a Conclusion? And get Hugh Grant to be in the movie. Playing a black hooker.
Good luck with that. I'm three chapters into my difficult first novel. It's about predicting seasonal changes, people dying and hating yourself for things that aren't your fault (ie your usual mid-20s coming-of-age-drivel). I want to be at least half way through by this time next year. Keep us posted on your progress and happy new year!
Yes!
Oh grief, I've got a couple have half-written books lying around the place. Problem is - I lose interest even though I have a plot and characters and everything. I'm better at short stories.
I've been asked to collaborate on a book (related to animal behaviour/genetics) along with a few others, but funding is an issue and I've heard no more about it (which is a pity as it uses reams of existing material).
God, I'm starting to feel like the only blogger who hasn't started to write a book. Or even thought about it.
I have been in a book once though. A text book.
I have been credited and quoted in some books if that counts?
