Hi Folks
I’m sure that some of you have noticed that I haven’t been around Red Bubble much in the last two months and that the bulk of the work in running Twisted Tales has fallen to Miri and Zolton.

Last Monday morning I found out tha…

Hello folks, I have been off line for the last week or so having finally given in to the series of colds I have been suffering.
I think I am back up to date, but if have posted a comment on my work, or have sent me a bubble mail, and I have missed it: sorry!

Wading trough my emails I was over the moon to find that my short story “Colin”: http://www.redbubble.com/people/mickymc/writing...

Writers Cramp 3

Posted almost 4 years ago

Well the reason I didn’t update my little journal here was because I have been busy writing. Shock, horror! I have also been busy taking and uploading photos as well, so time has been scarce to say the least!

I have finally confronted my inner demons about writing in my native Geordie dialect, and disregarded every piece of advice I have been given; and submitted “BRILLIANT” for inclusion in the …
