I'm sorry I'm the world's worst blogger and have abandoned this blog for well over a year... inexcusible but life just got in the way of itself.
In a nutshell:
1) I graduated from my MA in Creative Writing at Northumbria University. If anyone is considering studying there, feel free to drop me a message for a chat about the course.
2) My house is still a partial building site, but I actually have a sofa and a desk now, which helps.
3) I can now share some of the writing I submitted for my MA course - I'll share this in the next week or two. I also did a reading of said work at The Lit and Phil in Newcastle last year. I won't go into detail about the plot here but it's about an isolated, elderly farmer and his relationship with the landscape and community around him.
4) I've started playing with flash fiction as a way to keep writing when life is busy. I'm finding it a really fun way to explore ideas without the pressure of a plot. It's making me write more provocatively and across a wider range of subjects, which is good for me.
5) I've acquired several additional animals - some pets; some livestock; some visitors like this little guy. It really is a beautiful place to live and to write.
