One of a kind. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Yes, I have an awful lot to catch up on, a lot has happened in my life and not having a properly functioning laptop doesn’t make things easier! However, that’s for another post, this one is all about BookTube-a-Thon! This is the 3rd year for the readathon, which is run by Ariel Bissett. And didn’t do so great last year ( links.

labyrinth of the absurd: Distraction
http://labyrinthoftheabsurd.blogspot.com/2012/04/distraction.html
Labyrinth of the absurd. Friday, April 13, 2012. I have no excuses for a very late blog post. I have a tendency to put things on an extendable long finger. I really should be studying now but I tend to adore distraction which my Supervisor man is well aware of. "Dr. Supervisor man look at this pretty conference in Austria/Canada/ Mars, can I go? Pretty conferences are meh but if certain person writes a chapter for September I'll be a happy Supervisor man.". Labyrinth of the absurd. 12 years and counting.

http://labyrinthoftheabsurd.blogspot.com/2011/09/story-of-prick.html
Labyrinth of the absurd. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. The Story of a Prick! HOLD THE PHONE I never agreed to get pricked! Didn't he not remember that I'm the same girl that once had to be held down by two people in order to get blood test done and scared the bejaysus out of the other patients with my screaming. With only the Antique there for moral support I squeezed my eyes shut preparing myself for the agonizing pain that was to come.Nothing, Nada no pain! Labyrinth of the absurd. 12 years and counting.

Fighting Talk: September 2013
http://fightingtalknow.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
One Hour Story Challenge [OHST]. Friday, 20 September 2013. The boy sits at the kitchen table, huddled over a book. I circle the room slowly, slippers klitter-klattering on the cold tile. I pass the sink, again, scrubbed clean this morning with bleach and a metal scourer. A glass of water on the next lap. Definitely on the next lap. 8220;Sir. What about the conflict between Collins and…”. 8220;Stuart. For the last time, this isn’t school. You don’t have to call me Sir.”. 8220;John.”. 8220;It’s true...

Fighting Talk: January 2014
http://fightingtalknow.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
One Hour Story Challenge [OHST]. Friday, 31 January 2014. In conversation with. Julian Gough. This is a old interview with Julian Gough, first published just before the release of 'Jude: Level 1'. Julian was at his lively best and he even made some interesting comments, considering what he has said in recent times, about the future of the novel. Enjoy. WHAT would Charles Darwin have made of Julian Gough? The only question left is one of genetics, dominant or regressive. 8220;People began to look at the b...

Fighting Talk: In conversation with... Donal Ryan
http://fightingtalknow.blogspot.com/2014/08/earlier-this-year-i-spoke-with-donal.html
One Hour Story Challenge [OHST]. Friday, 8 August 2014. In conversation with. Donal Ryan. One of the first things that strikes a readers about the work of Donal Ryan is the simple confidence of his prose. The language is direct and unforgiving, flowing easily from a page that appears to have been crafted by the character itself, and not during late night labours over a script. But Ryan, like so many of us, struggles desperately with his confidence. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Promote your Page too.

Fighting Talk: Nasturtium
http://fightingtalknow.blogspot.com/2015/02/nasturtium.html
One Hour Story Challenge [OHST]. Sunday, 8 February 2015. He walks to the window slowly, dragging polished shoes across the cold tile floor. 8220;It’s been so…” he offers, working the blinds with his knotted fingers, “unexpected. More like April than November really. Not a bad day for it, as days go.”. A shaft of white light enters the room. He turns slowly, opens his mouth and closes it again. 8220;I miss you,” he whispers. 8220;You would have loved those nasturtiums.”. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Fighting Talk: In Purgs
http://fightingtalknow.blogspot.com/2015/05/in-purgs.html
One Hour Story Challenge [OHST]. Friday, 1 May 2015. The blind man hurls a lopsided stone into the lake, unsettling the one legged heron in the grey shallows. Beside him on the wooden mooring, the man-on-the-street sits cross-legged, head bowed, enveloped by his dark trench coat. 8220;You can see it? 8221; spits the man-on-the-street. “You? 8220;I can see the light changing. And I feel the warmth going from the air.”. 8220;What did you write? 8221; he asks, wafting wet air into the blind man’s ear. 8220;...
