Another week of posting photos and not doing enough writing!

I have read some thought provoking things both here and elsewhere, which are great examples of fact based fiction dealing with uncomfortable subject matter. I particularly thought that these two pieces were great examples of this genre.

After the roaring success, slight note of sarcasm here, of my own bit of fact based fiction http://www.redbubble.com/people/mickymc/writing/771344-you-re-never-far-from-the-action-when-you-live-in-a-bungalow
I am left wondering is the lack of response because people think that is c*@p, because they feel uncomfortable with the subject matter, or because they think that men have no ‘right’ to work with this subject matter?

I am in the middle of writing a short story called “Brilliant” which I am going to try and submit to the War Child writers blog that DBA Lehane told everyone about

just as soon as I work out how to actually blog! By the way they have extended the deadline.

Still can’t make my mind up about the Chapter One competition… “http://www.redbubble.com/writers-market/forums/442/topics/9986-novel-competition” I know it seems like a scam… argh!

And finally, I now have Bubble approval for a new group to highlight the impact that Punk and Hardcore on art and literature… more details soon

Over and out, bottles of milk to make…
