Monday, 31 August 2009. Probably Not The Cure For Writer's Arse, Alas. Posted by E.G. Links to this post. Friday, 28 August 2009. Me, Myself and This Barmy Boot-Wearing Witch I've Become. Six doors down the road. Using trolleys, friends, neighbours and small children. I am a tad too weary to go into it. So I shall end this, frankly trying, week with a Meme, courtesy of the always fabulous Keris Stainton. Theme: Call Yourself A Writer? 1 Which words do you use too much in your writing? Oh, gosh, hundreds&...

Crawl Space: What's your strategy?
http://sarah-crawl-space.blogspot.com/2010/02/whats-your-strategy.html
Saturday, 6 February 2010. It's that time of year when some of the biggest writing contests open for entries including, of course, the Bridport Prize. Accepting flash fiction for the first time). Then there are impending deadlines for the Fish One Page Prize. The Bristol Short Story Prize. The list goes on. All of which has me thinking: what's your strategy for deciding which contests to enter and what influences that process? Do you, for instance, consider the odds? Only in relation to the prize money?

Strictly Writing: March 2015
http://strictlywriting.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 14 March 2015. Different man, different hat. It's customary when a brilliant author dies (by which, I mean someone who has something to say and who makes us think) for the great and the good to trot out stories about them. Terry Pratchett didn't just create a whole world; he created an entire universe, complete with its own physics, along with a giant turtle moving through space.

Do I hear the sound of dropped cups, swooning and monocles falling out of place? Katie Price's ghost-writer,. Will Gomp...
