This is me doing some drawings. Be lovely if you fancy retweeting the post below
So occasionally i do illustrations for Paragraph Planet - attaching a few here - and it’s probably time to do another. I’d welcome your suggestions in the comments, anything on a writing theme. Please share. Oh and 75-word #stories always sought https://t.co/zEsiDVGbs5

You know that monologue I wrote about the bins being put out, and the main character pretending they had a dog leading to hilarious misunderstandings? Well it got developed massively by @IanDtheactor and it's won an award in Chile! (And remember - keep bottles and glass separate)
We've won again! TALKING RUBBISH is 'Best Short Comedy' at South Film & Arts Academy Film Festival in Chile! #shortfilm #comedy #filmfestival #indiefilm #Awards

Back in 2008, I learnt some HTML to create a website - initially to publicise our writing group, aspiring #novelists in #brighton. I decided a changing home page was crucial. 365 stories x almost 17 years have been published. Grateful if you can RT>>
