Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Sunday, 5 October 2014. Mike Scott. I just love him. Sitting behind the book-signing desk in the festival tent: black hat, musical mist about him, song even in the lilts of his speaking voice, minstrel to his bones. Shook the hand that strums. He wrote on my book. I've now begun book 3 of the Waifs trilogy. I've called the book 'The Stolen Child'. It's informed by Yeats' poetry and Mike's music. My hope is that, for the space of a sentence or tw...I love al...

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Monday, 29 September 2014. It's said in some circles that the next stage of human evolution is accelerating. The ego is a construct, a suffering manufactory that can be dropped. There's a contagion of waking up. Illuminated dominoes. I forgot the house number. Mostly there are clues through the windows: rainbows, chimes, crystals. I push the door. Incense. People are seated; they look long and unseeing at the carpet, quick and seeing at each...She arrives s...

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Wednesday, 14 January 2015. Creativity v Domesticity: you won't find an orchid in a roller-striped lawn. Families, like fairy tale bears, have their habitual seats. Mine is at one end of a 1930s sofa. Nicotine-yellowed, it soaked up the smoke that my grandma’s lungs did not. This sofa is actually my desk. One end is confettied with notes and stuff. In the surrounding room o. Bjects are not privileged or displayed, they are beached: o. Organic and organised ...

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines: Don't dot shop - flash theatre in the High Street.
http://anasalote.blogspot.com/2015/03/dont-dot-shop-flash-theatre-in-high.html
Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Sunday, 22 March 2015. Don't dot shop - flash theatre in the High Street. The monologue is a great form for immediate intimacy. It is like opening a door in the forehead of a stranger and peering in. There is confiding, vulnerability and revelation. It is an encouragement to wider empathy and greater attention to others in life as well as art. For more about the fabulous Show of Strength Theatre. Show of strength theatre.

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Monday, 29 June 2015. Becoming a Public Author. On the way to my book launch I read. How to be a Public Author. By Paul Ewen. It’s comic gold. As preparation for an event - well it prepares you for any eventuality. Francis Plug attends a string of stellar author events. Here he is at a Salman Rushdie talk:. I have to make an effort to be nervous in such an atmosphere but I manage it. Is a middle grade/crossover book, in other words it appeals to all ages...

Ana Salote's blog: Colouring outside the Lines. Thursday, 28 May 2015. Going indie: constraints of the publisher's list. Earlier this year I visited the William Blake exhibition at the Ashmolean. I thought it diminished Blake with its nerdy focus on technique. It was like studying Van Gogh’s brushes with his paintings as an aside. I skimmed the technical details and looked at the pictures. And did what he pleased. Others were pleased by it. The market came to him. Alice in Wonderland,. On the Road,.
