Friday short story time: "Ready Salted Failure"
This week, a story I already debuted to my MA class on Wednesday. I had to read the whole thing out, so as a result, it’s a bit shorter than usual. A snip at just under 500 words, which is about half what I normally do.
It’s also a bit depressing. Sorry about that. It was written shortly after a conversation with a friend about jobhunting, and I’m an easily influenced writer.
Gentle middle-aged sitcom Roger And Val Have Just Got In is predictably loved by me on The Digital Fix.
Series 1 of Borgen is over. I am sad. But in a happy way. More mixed emotions on The Digital Fix.

In case you didn't even notice it was on, a nice recommendation for Peter Capaldi's Cricklewood Greats on The Digital Fix.
It is Super Bowl day, which means it’s time for the “Superb Owl” joke. Technically this might be more a “Super Owl” than a “Superb” one, but…. but… I don’t know, give me a break. (Click to enlarge, etc.)
Being Human returns for its fourth series on Sunday, having ditched most of its cast. I watch the first episode of the new era and judge without spoilers on The Digital Fix.
Friday short story time: "Ruination"
This week, a rare sequel or follow-up. These have gone badly for me in the past, but I had a thematic continuation in mind. And since it’s a sequel to last week’s story, I can even pretend it was planned at the time.
Well, maybe not anymore. And no, you probably don’t need to read the original. Anyway, yes, this is once again a reflection on something that really happened. Are these stories close to becoming a form of therapy for me?
