Writers block

I was asked about writers block...........
If I have problems writing, I observe life around me, read the papers, especially local news and sometimes just watch people [fast food places, supermarkets and work are usually pretty good] , there is usually inspiration somewhere. I imagine a life behind the character that the face suggests. It never works, but I do get ejected from places on a regular basis, and occasionally get my collar felt, this gives me something to write about!

The Cheque

Now, I did not regard my literary exploit [Memoirs of an Ordinary Man] as being a complete fail, indeed everyone who has posted a review has given it five stars. Especially now it is also available  as an e-book on dozens of web sites all over.You would think then that sales would increase exponentially! I was a little disappointed when I got my royalty cheque for the last quarter. My sales totalled seven....giving me £7.07.....there was an unexplained deduction of £4.46 [I think this is 30% witholding tax levied by the US government on last years sales].......leaving me with with a grand total of £1.84, I think that it is possibly technically fraud if I do not pay this into my business account and have therefore to pay to put the cheque into the bank, leaving me with 34 pence, minus 30% UK tax is mmmmm.......... about 22 pence. This would have just about covered the fuel to drive to my local branch of HSBC, but it is closing this month and my account is being transferred to Horsforth. This will now cost me about £1.80 each way ignoring any time I lose. But never mind.......I can kill 2 birds with on stone, I have a cheque for 37 pence from Santander bank, a dividend because I have some shares!
Starting to feel rich already!!!
