oh look it looks so new!

So I've just spent a bit of time making the blog look new, and then I've added links to some old stuff - up there - those 'tabs' that say 'But in the voice (short film)' and 'Ball Wall' - take a look if you like if you will...

'But in the voice' is a short film based on a story I wrote a few years ago and features a spider and the voice of Peter O'Toole*, and me.

'Ball Wall' is one of the first very short stories I wrote and felt good about writing. Both stories appeared in hum-drum Magazine 2007-2008.

I just thought it'd be nice to have them here on my blogsite.

But looking forwards...

I haven't been blogging so much but I have been writing. My picture book / illustrated book / I-don't-want-to-categorise-you-yet-book is developing and I can feel myself getting closer to putting the bottle of Sancerre Mario bought for me at Christmas in the fridge ready for the 'I've written something longer than a short story!' moment which is its purpose.

Resisting the urge to start looking at agents/publishers until it's written. Blocking out the usual cries of advice to 'know your market!' - going with the flow and writing it first.

Nice fresh new look to your blog, Teresa. Also, it's good to see "But in the Voice" again - it's a great idea and that little excited smile you do before failing to write anything is superb.

Also enjoyed "Ball Wall" - I hadn't read that before.

Nice one.

Thanks, Dan. I like the white. Glad you're happy to see 'But in the voice', I'm proud of it on the whole, that we made it in an afternoon, but I feel a bit self conscious about putting it here as well, maybe because it's so old.

My favourite written-for hum-drum Magazine story isn't here, just realised, I should add that one too. Then I'll stop harking back to the past.

love the new look; the book sounds fun, so I hope you're having fun writing it :-)
