I am in the process of working on Bound - a new poetic monologue in the manner of Crash - and have made a recording of a draft version of the piece.

Author: Ian Gouge
As a compulsive writer, I have authored nearly thirty books: novels, collections of short stories, volumes of poetry, and some non-fiction. As an independent publisher (using my Coverstory books imprint), I have also produced a number of books for other writers, plus anthologies in which many contributors have had their work showcased - some for the first time. All of which is somewhat irrelevant without you, my readers. Please check-out my sites - including the links to my podcast. I would be delighted if you found something you decided you would like to read.

Taking stock – again…
If you're a writer like me then you are always asking yourself questions about your work: what? why? is it any good? That kind of thing. It's a kind of navel-gazing that is possibly inevitable. I do it regularly - and usually by asking a question of myself and then trying to find the answer. … Continue reading Taking stock – again…

Does a new phase of writing start on Wednesday?

Then I will sign-on to the guest network. Then open Apple Pages, or Scrivener. … Continue reading Does a new phase of writing start on Wednesday?
