Can I write a piece in the seven minutes between now and kick-off in the football. I doubt it. It can only be written with the most minimal of thought and that can not be a great way to approach something of this importance. But approach it in this way I must. This is an experiment and this is part of the experiment. How many times though am I planning on writing pieces of this nature, simply writing about writing but not really writing just putting words together on a page. Is that not writing? Well yes it is writing but it’s not writing. I just lost valuable time with that italics and that one. What am I doing?! Only three minutes to go and I have certainly not done over half the number of words in what has taken me over half the number of time. It was those italics I know it.
I am actually quite enjoying this as I rarely have to just think super quickly and write whatever comes into my head. It may appear as if I am just spewing word vomit onto the page but genuinely there is some thought actually put into it. Probably not as much thought always, no definitely not always, but sometimes there is. I have three hundred and sixty-five of these to write so it is not too unacceptable for a small variety of them to be rushed. Better that than a small variety of them being written with contemplative deliberation.
Only one minute to go!! Do I waste time with a word count? Oh fuck it only 268 words thats ridiculous I am never going to make it in seven minutes. And that is seven minutes now. Maybe I will extend it to ten minutes and miss the first three minutes, nothing has ever happened in the first three minutes of a football match in the history of football so I doubt I have anything to worry about.
Do you like football? I understand if you don’t because I know there is a lot dislikable about it. Sport too I guess, seems completely pointless sometimes but then everything has a point if we give it a point. Football has just seemed like my dirty little secret for many years but then I guess that depends on which world I have been moving in at any given time.
Four hundred and twenty-four words in ten minutes but with no corrections and not even a quick check over. I hope it’s good, I’ll never know.
