Sharing my awful story

I've been blogging for about five years now and around three years ago I had a weird idea of writing a novel through a blog.

The problem with this idea is that 1) I'm not disciplined enough to write a novel full stop and 2) I'm not interesting or famous enough to generate the interest necessary.

However the idea could work if done as a sort of writer training excersize with a famous writer on a BBC Blog.

I tell you the story of The Fundamental Laws of General Lifeyness or at least the two paragraphs I've written.

The story

The year is 200,005. Religion has been made illegal, and life is only tolerated as long as it conforms to the fundamental law of general lifeyness.

The place is the 'UFUGNSL-RGSCB' or the 'United Federation of United General but Non Specific Leadership-Regime of Great but in a not to Self Congratulatory Britain', otherwise referred to by the non-pedants1 as Brian2.

Footnote

1. The government tried to outlaw pedantism as a form of social disease 10 years ago but failed miserably after the great pedant uprising of 200,001.

2. Brian is the name of the man that caused the great pedant explosion of 200,004 after posing to them the great anti-pedant question.
