Toni's guided me to this Open University free Creative Writing course, here's the first exercise, write 1 paragraph with 1 fact and 3 lies then another with 3 facts and just 1 lie.
Here's the game, what's the sole fact about me in paragraph 1 and the only lie about me in paragraph 2, got that?! Guesses please, general comments are of course acceptable too!
1 FACT, 3 LIES
“For all the outward confidence I exuded, I still didn’t get a long term girlfriend until after leaving University. During that spectacular time, I had danced naked outside an old folks’ home in the middle of the afternoon, I had snorted a line off a midget’s stomach and I had rested my balls on my best mate’s chin but not one of the entire population of the opposite sex wanted to lie in the same bed as me for long; as Morrissey said at the time, “I must be one of life’s crushing bores.”
3 FACTS, 1 LIE
“I was largely oblivious to snooker, yet it seemed to follow me around like an angry wasp in many strange ways. From my family’s semi-famous sporting history, to meeting Dennis Taylor and his god-awful glasses inside a McDonalds at Charing Cross Station, I feel marked out in some almost demonic way, all because my first words were ‘Jimmy White.”
In other news, I'm about to rip the new Menzingers album from Toni's CD, so am hence very excited!
