It hadn't been planned, but yesterday I posted another episode to my WalkingThruFire podcast. I had been reviewing The Opposite of Remembering when I came across a relatively short section I thought might make a good entry to the podcast - so I recorded it! You can find it here; follow the links back to … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 21st January

New Podcast Episode: from “The Opposite of Remembering”
I have just posted a reading of an extract from my novel The Opposite of Remembering. The episode is available here. This section is about 40% of the way through the novel. The main protagonist is Liam who has recently divorced from his wife Rachel and is now moving into rented accommodation. Katy is their … Continue reading New Podcast Episode: from “The Opposite of Remembering”

Though not quite signed and sealed yet, I spent over an hour yesterday on Crash-related activities including a complete read through. I have some decent ideas about how to perform it (I think!) and just await the official and final 'nod' which hopefully might come in the middle of next week. Not that I need … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 20th January
Yesterday & Today: 19th January
It's often nice to go somewhere for a change of scenery, so yesterday I spent two hours in the Claro Lounge drinking coffee and working. It was also where I had my meeting about Crash and the Ripon Theatre Festival, 8-11th June. It appears that I will be performing Crash as a monologue this year … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 19th January

The library was quiet yesterday which meant I got a fair amount of editing done on The Opposite of Remembering's update. I wonder if aiming to have this completed before the end of the month would be a realistic goal? In addition to that, the other big slug of time went on Write-on Ripon where … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 18th January

It's an interesting and unnerving experience when doubt creeps in. I had another dose yesterday when working on my new fiction project. It was a moment when I said to myself "yes, it hangs together, and yes, I could do it, but...". At times like that I find the 'but' all-powerful. So I'm clearly not … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 17th January
Let’s be realistic…
Over the weekend I deleted all those bookmarks and links to my 'old life', the professional life I led which was more about pursuing kudos and power and money - rather than anything truly important. That deletion was, I confess, more a symbolic step than anything else (just like deleting my old LinkedIn account a … Continue reading Let’s be realistic…

A modest amount of effort yesterday, though in-line with what I had anticipated doing i.e. drafting the opening four pages of "C", a little more editing on The Opposite of Remembering. In terms of the odd sentence, it's amazing what you can find even after multiple previous edits! The work on the fiction project was … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 16th January
Yesterday & Today: 15th January
Though I hadn't planned to do so, yesterday I recorded a new episode for my WalkingThruFire podcast. The episode is An Irregular Piece of Sky, the title short story in a collection that will see publication this year - one way or another! Apart from that I tinkered around the edges of things, spending far … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 15th January
New Podcast Episode: “An Irregular Piece of Sky”
I have just posted a reading of my short story "An Irregular Piece of Sky". The story is included in a new collection - also entitle An Irregular Piece of Sky - which should see the light of day at some point in 2023.
