Introduction - "The Best Man"

Hi, I'm new to this blogging malarkey. To be honest I've never been one to write a diary or anything like that, so I won't be using this as forum to spill my thoughts to the world. That's just not me. What I do love doing though is writing. So I'm going to use this blog as a way of getting some of my work out into the public domain.

My story is called "The Best Man" and is the story of a man who spends pretty much every weekend of his life being the best-man at weddings. Hopefully you'll laugh because it is meant to be a comedy. If however you you don't find it funny, just pretend it's a dramatic character study instead.

By the way "The Best Man" is very vaguely semi-autobiographical, in that I have twice been a best man. But other than that it's almost entirely fiction and I certainly haven't done some of the things that Jack gets up to.

Now this won't be some old piece work cut and pasted into into the blog, but a new story which I will write as I go along. I'll be adding chapters, paragraphs and sentences to the blog as soon as I've written them. I've got a good idea of where I want the story and characters to head, but if you've any thoughts, ideas or plotlines then please let me know what you think and if they are any good I'll try to incorporate them (and of course, where possible, I'll credit who I got the idea from).

Anyway I hope you enjoy what I write, please let me know what you think, your thoughts will be most appreciated, I can be emailed at angbur@googlemail.com . If you happen to be a literary agent / publisher / or someone else who would like to pay me lots of money to write for a living, then please drop me a line at angbur@googlemail.com
Now enjoy "The Best Man"
