Fentonton: November 2011
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Saturday, 12 November 2011. Rosen Trevithick - Straight Out of University. I was recently granted an interview by the gracious Rosen Trevithick, Cornish playwright and novelist par excellence. Rosen is currently on the e-road promoting her latest novel, Straight Out of University. Here's a bit about the book:. Sophie isn't exclusively gay, but when you're voted Ms Lesbian Oxford in your first year at university, it does put you under a certain amount of pressure. Rosen...

Fentonton: Spanner in the works
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2012/10/spanner-in-works.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Thursday, 25 October 2012. Spanner in the works. It would probably be more accurate to say The Spanner is out of the works, or at least out of my head. My little novella, The Spanner, is now sitting quietly in the Kindle store, not disturbing anyone or creating a fuss. I wish it would create some kind of fuss. Even a small fuss. It lives here ( http:/ www.amazon.com/The-Spanner-A-Novella-ebook/dp/B009QEJMN2. Stan wouldn't have it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Fentonton: February 2011
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Monday, 7 February 2011. So much for focus. So, this thing hasn't exactly gone as planned. I know I said this blog wasn't going to be an unfocused ramble, a brain-dump, but . once more, I've taken a notion to an unnecessary extreme. Two posts in over a year. Wow, I've got so much to say. It's not all my fault I haven't got around to posting - there are a number of things I can blame for soaking up all my time:. 4 Bit Torrent (not that I do that kind of thing). Position...

Fentonton: Buy these photos or your family will hate you forever
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2013/09/buy-these-photos-or-your-family-will.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Thursday, 26 September 2013. Buy these photos or your family will hate you forever. I'm not a salesman, never have been - but I know when someone is trying to ream out my wallet in the friendliest manner possible. I had one of these experiences last night. Ah, I hear you say. Ah indeed. Yes Mr Photographer, I do believe I am smiling. These are just tears of happiness streaming down my face. This is a cramp of joy in my hamstring. What do you do for a living? Why did I ...

Fentonton: Distractapalooza
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2012/03/distractapalooza.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Sunday, 4 March 2012. I can't focus long enough to decide whether I should:. A Work on the "big" novel. B Work on the "small" novel, or possibly novella, which wandered into the open field of my brain a few weeks ago, and has now parked its caravan and invited its friends and family to come join it. Way to enable my procrastination, Shehriar Ahmed (yes, you). I'm filing that one on the scratchpad (see the tab at the top of the page). D Keep editing the older novel.

Fentonton: March 2010
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Thursday, 11 March 2010. I was gifted some time recently - two weeks between jobs - in which I thought I could get some of my own work done. Long-outstanding work. Important work. Naturally, I opted to fritter this time away with my new procrastination-enabler activity: groping around under my floor for junk from the 1900's. Some things I've learned from the experience:. You can never reach as far as you think you can. 1 A time capsule in the form of an old lemonade bo...

Fentonton: September 2011
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Sunday, 18 September 2011. Tactics for Keeping Children in Bed. 1 Rewarding good behaviour, e.g. "If you stay in your bed ALL NIGHT, we'll buy you the toy of the minute, as determined by Nick Jr.". RESULT: Fail. Children are incredibly stubborn and self-assured liars. "So are you going to buy me the toy today? No, you didn't stay in your bed." "Yes I did." "No you didn't, you're in our bed right now." "No I'm not.". RESULT: Fail. Kids really don't care. You know this i...

Fentonton: January 2012
http://fentonton.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Because "Fenton" was already taken. Saturday, 14 January 2012. You Call That a Book Launch? This is how I imagine my book launch would play out if I lived in North Korea:. ME: Is he watching? MY WIFE: Is who watching? ME: Glorious Leader. Is he looking away? MY WIFE: Well . he appears to be looking the other way, but Glorious Leader sees and knows all, so I guess you're screwed on that. MY WIFE: You could be executed for dissidence, I suppose. ME: Oh, thanks for the support. ME: I know, right? In North K...
