My latest, apparently weekly, news broadcast. This week, Steve Jobs steps down from Apple, GCSE results step up their grades, the US earthquake destroys everyone’s steps and the cat steps up its reign of terror.




This is the end of my Confessions highlights package. More are available on the old Confessions blog if you like, namely the ones I decided weren’t good enough to come across here.

Friday short story: There isn't one


A few weeks ago, I mentioned that my novel blitz during August might lead to a lack of Friday stories. And I squeezed one out for my anniversary, but reality has now caught up with me. If you want new material, a few of my experimental mock news broadcasts have been going up, along with sundry TV blog posts.

In addition, I’ve churned out this quick blog about the writing process behind these Friday stories. I don’t usually talk about that stuff, so thought it might have novelty value. If this is of no interest to you, stop reading here.

My latest news broadcast thing, exploring A Level results as well as the imminent return of both Big Brother and X Factor. 1.5 minutes of your life that you’ll never get back, but hopefully you won’t mind too much.

A second news broadcast by me, this time covering today’s Parliamentary debate on anti-riot measures. I’m still getting the hang of this, feedback welcomed.

If you want to check out my first attempt, you can still listen to it here. (For now, at least.)








“Cooked”

You'll need to go back to the old Tumblr site to hear this. I'm afraid.

A mock news broadcast I recorded, using my actual voice, at 1AM on a Sunday morning. It’s only one minute long. Unsure whether I’ll ever attempt anything like this again - I don’t hate it as much as I expected to.




Friday short story time: "Duck And Cover"

Last week, I said there would probably be no story this Friday, but then I realised today marks (almost) one whole year since I first posted this story about ducks and the whole tradition began! So I thought I would strain one more out to mark my own anniversary. Admittedly, I haven’t quite managed a story a week, this will be the 31st I’ve posted in that time, but still.

In an indulgent homage to myself, this story also features a duck, and you can see the rest of the backlog as ever. Enjoy!

My weekly Dork Adore Torchwood review features a joke about Pythagoras's Theorem. Oh yeah.

I’m porting over some of the better efforts from my old The Confessions blog, to try and make this a more definitive chronicle of my “work”. I’ll post a couple a day until I run out. Enjoy! (I hope)





I drew this. It is called “Camping”.



Yeah, I don’t know.
