Creative writing and frustration.
Not many people are happy with the first draft. The first version of my Master’s thesis was so bad and in such juvenile language, that I just deleted it totally and started again from scratch. The second version had about 3 revisions before submission – it passed first time. With creative writing I still startContinue reading “Creative writing and frustration.”
Creative writing
I have decided to change my approach to this blog. I’ve had a lifetime of creative writing, from short stories and poems in School and University magazines, to self publishing on Amazon; helping with scripts for school plays in my teaching career; to workshops as a student and as a tutor. Professionally, I teach MathematicsContinue reading “Creative writing”

Gutter: SNipe: Pimp
Fifth step to Madness. Gutter: Snipe: Pimp: Three word Slogan, All you need, So you Justify, Your Personal Greed. Gutter: Snipe: Pimp: Mad Anna called me twice today. We ate tea, Smoked Wine, Drank Cakes, Walked on Lakes for Heaven’s sake. “There! Is a Bull in a Fence!” Indefensible. There was a time, In theContinue reading “Gutter: SNipe: Pimp”

Gutter: Snipe: Pimp
Second step to Madness Look at this lass, She’s a Brass. I can set you up, My aging pup. Crawling down the corridor of fun; This girl; This room. Was there lime in the coconut? Did you drink it all up? Eight track detachment, tied to the bed. Three screws, two speakers, one love. BlackContinue reading “Gutter: Snipe: Pimp”
Gutter: snipe: Pimp
(For Anna) First step to Madness Again. Again, she came back from the dead. Dead Loves. Death leaves, In the gutter. I waltzed by the waters of the Caspian Sea, Drowned Diesel Surface, Waiting for me. Waiting. “How do you do?” we said. “Well then, let’s go to bed!” Miss Understanding. Quite Out Standing, OnContinue reading “Gutter: snipe: Pimp”

Going through Changes
It has been a year of change. There I was going to my teaching job every day, wishing I had a job where I could work from home… But it wasn’t teaching. No human interaction. No girls crying. No boys farting. No managers whinging … oh no that didn’t change. But I couldn’t go out!Continue reading “Going through Changes”
