A Case of Writer's Blog: WORDS WORTH HEARING
http://conswords.blogspot.com/p/words-worth-hearing.html
A Case of Writer's Blog. This was broadcast on Radio Cumbria, along with four others from North Cumbria Scriptwriters. In December 2010. There are some notes and photos elsewhere on this blog. I learnt from my earlier experience and was more careful to make the play fit the criteria. A short play for Radio. Lucy: thirties, Midlands or South East. Jim: thirties, faint North West. Guide: male or female, young. William Wordsworth: slight Cumbrian. Walter Scott: refined Lowland Scottish. Fx one set of footst...

A Case of Writer's Blog: June 2011
http://conswords.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A Case of Writer's Blog. Sunday, 12 June 2011. The Smell of Chlorine. I have started writing my book! It is to be a memoir of my old headmistress and my East End childhood and education. This may or may not be included, but I will also post it on the site I set up for gathering and sharing stories. About my school years, where I have written about one or two other memories. And what has brought me here? It wasn’t just the chlorine, eye stinging and almost visible- us east end kids used to pee in th...

A Case of Writer's Blog: May 2011
http://conswords.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
A Case of Writer's Blog. Tuesday, 31 May 2011. I hope you're teaching Quality. I have discussed genre elsewhere, and have always said, what matters is quality. Now how do you define Quality? Sarah … came trotting by with her watering pot between those two doors, going from the corridor to her office, and she said, "I hope you are teaching Quality to your students.". . Why else would people pay fortunes for some things and throw others in the trash pile? I am at the age where I can no longer be bothered w...

A Case of Writer's Blog: COUNTRY ROADS
http://conswords.blogspot.com/p/country-roads.html
A Case of Writer's Blog. This is a short play, written for local radio. The gloomy subject matter and difficult SFX meant that it wasn't deemed suitable for broadcast, but I still feel it has something to say about our community. I will be interested to see if it speaks to anyone outside that community! I have removed the titles of, and quotations from, the Country and Western songs so beloved of the Cumbrian farming community- go into any kitchen in our area and the radio will be playing country music!

http://conswords.blogspot.com/2012/10/and-dragons-are-dead.html
A Case of Writer's Blog. Wednesday, 31 October 2012. And the dragons are dead? I sometimes think I write nothing but emails, however I have recently managed to write a short radio play, and I am in the middle of an extra scene for Wigton Theatre Club's panto and a short piece about Kathleen Herbert for my old students' magazine, as well as planning a play for said theatre club's 60th anniversary next year. Early morning mist upon the marsh…. The twisting spirals drawn up by the sun. 2 April 2013 at 03:16.

A Case of Writer's Blog: Deja Vue
http://conswords.blogspot.com/2010/09/deja-vue.html
A Case of Writer's Blog. Monday, 20 September 2010. I have several times had the slightly eerie experience of going to a place and thinking that I'd been there before, and of course I had- in my mind; transported there by writers as diverse as Thomas Hardy, Virgina Woolfe, Malcolm Lowry- and Kathleen Herbert! Kathleen's research was meticulous, which is why she can bring her settings to life. The link below will take you to an interview with her in which she explains her working methods:. Thanks for post...

Shed of Delights: June 2009
http://shedofdelights.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 19 June 2009. OK September. The dance band and not the calendar month. Not that I have anything against the month but lets face it September is no October is it? You may recognise this track (Cry for you) as the one Fred Bowers. Did his break dancing to on Britain’s Got Talent. This however is an acoustic version, which is quiet frankly…well delightful. It gives me Amanda Holden’s goose bumps. Enjoy. Oh, go on then. Here’s the normal dance version. NOW BE DELIGHTED, DAMN YOU. Links to this post.

...the island of Dreams: January 2014
http://www.robstickler.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
The island of Dreams. Saturday, January 04, 2014. Follow the White Rabbit. In which I ramble on about The Matrix. And Hugo Weaving's teeth. No one can be told what the The Matrix. Is but there will be spoilers here. The other night, for the first time in years. Well it was New Year's Eve, actually. Way to ring in the new year. We all loved The Matrix. I really enjoyed most of it. For one thing I've always really liked Keanu Reeves, ever since seeing him in a film called Permanent Record. I love the littl...
