The world is my ashtray and I don't smoke

I've a story (of sorts) in @LoftBooks Issue 5. I wrote it accidentally one night in bed, while wrestling with myself (and Youtube). Perhaps a bit pretentious, but funny. Read here: https://t.co/710ukqSffE

I have received so many 'glowing rejections' from big magazines in the past year. Fingers and toes crossed that this is an omen of something better.

A great weekend (mine last 4 days): plotted out a new novel, sent loads of stories out, went to see 3 Beckett performances, and on Tuesday my band is playing at Quarry. If you're reading this you are invited.

Started making serious notes for another new novel. Wish I had something else to do.

I was so poor growing up that I had to wash my hair with toothpaste, and brush my teeth with shampoo

I had a traumatic childhood. Not because I was mistreated but because I found even the most serene situations highly traumatising.

It's classical May, a thing I've just made up where I only listen to classical music for a month. As a bonus I'm focusing on composers who aren't men. Starting with mediaeval polymath Hildegard Von Bingen and depressed symbolist Lili Boulanger.

Trick for winning short story contests: include a scene where characters discuss how much they love the judge's book.

Mancunion friends, my wonderful band will be playing a fun wee festival on 18th May. It'd be great to see you. Let me know if you want further inf.

I've a new story up on Stupefying Stories. It's a bit of a bonkers one, as is befitting of a place like Stupefying Stories. Read here please! https://t.co/D1GN1ScWbW

My short story 'Crazy Cat Lady Neighbour we Used to Have' was shortlisted but finally declined. This has happened a few times now. The problem is that there are too many good writers, but I'm not sure what can be done about this.
