At the BBC, they fill silences. At 9am we’re all laughing at anecdotes that haven’t been spoken. It is done meticulously and efficiently. Now and then, an air of reverence descends, some mention of an impending celebrity, before a return, to the great chatter, that relieves us of the responsibility of our selves, and...

Note before I start: The idea here is to incorporate the lyrics of a song into a story: – This story came into existence because of a suggestion by Elyse of fiftyfourandahalf fame. Now I am much older than I use to be, seems obvious but it had to be said. Both physically and...

You have about fifteen seconds to get their attention, and given the average modern-day attention span, which is about that of a coffee-buzzed gnat, it’s best to try doing it in five. This being the case, one of the most important lines ever written in a novel is the first one. For contemporary writers,...

  Back in the 70’s, while in High School, one of the required readings was the book, “My Mother Myself,” by Nancy Friday, this book made a lasting impression on my young mind. It is hard for me to recall much of it, except the title itself. However, much of my thoughts today about...

Killing_her_softly_by_xo_paintmepretty

It only takes one glance at the cover of a romance novel to realize that this genre does not expel its resources to try to appeal to the male portion of the human race. And why should they? It’s a well-known fact that men are more interested in action than intimacy, blood than love, and are far more likely to invest...

My return journey from the last date of my UK tour supporting the Miserable Rich culminated in an aborted 3am bus journey in the company of a sardine monster crush of wailing, jabbering flexing and vomiting half-baked and painted drooling students. Needless to say, two stops in, I walked home, laughing. I learned a...
