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.
Yesterday & Today: 14th January
Even though I didn't get that much done yesterday (as expected) I did manage to type up all my Tilt edits, which is something. Just now editing has become something of a spectre hanging over me. I have been re-editing some of my already-published work and I've another old novel to go through. Additionally I … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 14th January
Yesterday & Today: 13th January
This entry will be pretty short, I'm afraid. Only a little work yesterday, and certainly not as much as I'd hoped. Knocked a bit sideways by a bad night's sleep, and that always messes the day up, doesn't it? Today I have a domestic commitment which will wipe out most of the day, so also … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 13th January
‘Best’ but not First…
After my local writing group poetry competition adjudication last night, I left knowing my poem had been 'the best' entry - and that it hadn't won the competition... Sound strange? It's important to say that I knew I was taking something of a risk, though not with the poem per se. The piece is called … Continue reading ‘Best’ but not First…
Yesterday & Today: 12th January
It was the face-to-face events which provided the main news from yesterday. Firstly it seems entirely possible that "Crash" will be adapted and performed at this year's Ripon Theatre Festival. There is a potential slot on Sunday 11th June into which it could fit - though it may be tight to be ready in time. … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 12th January
Yesterday & Today: 11th January
Well yesterday as a bit of a manic day, even if my slot in the Library was typically quiet (which allowed me to type up a fair chunk of the Tilt edits). The Write-on Ripon workshop and the Stanza group meeting that followed later in the day were far from quiet! The workshop - where … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 11th January
Yesterday & Today: 10th January
Yesterday turned out to be a productive day. Not only did I publish a new episode to my podcast, but I also drafted a new workshop for the next retreat at which I will be mentoring. The podcast episode is a story - "Ursula" - which is a first person monologue of sorts. As a … Continue reading Yesterday & Today: 10th January
New Podcast Episode: “Ursula”
I have just posted a reading of my short story "Ursula". One of my favourite things to do is to create people. Many of my stories are pen portraits of people placed in particular situations or with specific histories, occasionally told in the first person. “Ursula” is one such story. As a male writer I … Continue reading New Podcast Episode: “Ursula”
