Something that really pisses me off about my mum is she never seems to have any faith in me. She spent the four years I was at uni waiting for me to turn around and tell her I'd dropped out. She always thought my being in bands was a "phase" and I'd grow out of it - that was about 11 years ago. And now, I've told her I'm finally trying to do ( Read more... )

But let's tease you with this:

Last night someone threatened to break my legs. Seriously. And my other limbs.

Full story tomorrow!

We now have a weirdly-mixed version of one of our songs on our myspace page - if strange piano-led noise rock is your cup of tea, have a listen.  Go on, I dare you.  eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Off into the studio this morning to, probably, watch the music students who recorded us mix us down. I've got my fingers crossed it'll sound cool/decent, and I REALLY hope they haven't given the drums that hideously shit 'tap-tap-tap' kickdrum sound. I bloody hate that. It needs to be 'thud-thud-thud' for crying out loud. It's a kickdrum, not a ( Read more... )

So I've been researching short story publications. Annoyingly, many of them don't take 14,000 word stories. They prefer 5,000...or less. Luckily, I've had an idea floating around in my head for some time now, in which the main character falls into a writhing sea of maggots that have flooded the downstairs of his house. Maybe I'll write that one ( Read more... )

I answered the phone this morning to the debt recovery people, arghhh. Now I have to somehow pay £80 off a month...however, my housemate informs me that I could get a new credit card, and use that to pay off the debt. Sounds like a good idea, cos by golly, I have had enough of credit cards. Yessir ( Read more... )

YES! I have finsihed my short story. Tomorrow, I'm going to go over it and check mistakes, etc, and give copies to a few friends of mine who are involved in creative writing of some description, so as to get their feedback and so they can point out any plot holes, etc, I might have missed. THEN! I need to find suitable websites/zines to send it to ( Read more... )

I'm writing the end of my short story. I'm especially pleased with the lines:

Tearing at his clothes and face, Davies tried to scream but all that came out was a gush of blood, closely followed by unidentifiable limbs covered in reptilian eyes.

and

From several “mouths” it screamed, a loud wet roar that sounded like churning vomit.

Washing the pots earlier, a bloody big wasp just appeared out of the pile of dirty pots next to the sink. Scared the shit out of me ( Read more... )

I know you read my entries

STOP IT

I'm a little bit tipsy

I'm quite sleepy

One of the bar maids at Lonsdale Bar is very pretty

I don't know if I want a new girlfriend or not

I feel like a teenager again

Hurray!
