I feel the pressure buildingEvery minute getting worseI gotta find releaseBefore it bursts A wounded mindInfected thoughtsI need reliefFrom what they’ve wrought So pass the scalpelPass the penI’ll do anythingTo make this end Cut it openLet it bleedWords must flowIt’s all I need

The Creative Process
I picture The creative process In many ways Sometimes It is akin To sitting in a cave Alone Waiting For some weary traveler To shamble in Take shelter by my fire Sate their hunger And tell me a tale Or two Sometimes It is more like A gallery Its walls covered In abstract [...]
When I’m Not Writing
When I'm not writing I'm thinking About what I should write And when I'm not thinking About what I should write I'm thinking About other things Or even just thinking About thinking And when I'm not thinking That tends to be when I write For when my brain stops That is when the [...]
Writing In Bars
Writing in bars Is overrated I'm gonna leave it to the rock stars Before I end up wasted In the gutter With a broken guitar I let the verse flow free Not cage it up like a tiger Confined by the bars I'm gonna leave that to the rock stars Someone I follow on [...]
Ramblings: Feeling inspired
I'm actually feeling properly inspired to write! This doesn't happen often. I mean, I'll write poems fairly regularly but I can churn those out pretty quick. It's the story writing I struggle with. But the one I'm writing now, Whispers, isn't boring me yet. I've published the first two mini chapters on here, and actually [...]

The start, middle or end of something…
It's NaNoWriMo! Hurray! The month of the year where aspiring writers attempt to write a 50,00 word novel in 30 days! Huzzah! And most of us fail! Wahey! Oh, wait no, that's not something to cheer. Anyway, knowing that if I were to try I would fail, I decided to not even try. That is, [...]
Writing Challenge: Footsteps In The Dark
At a creative writing group yesterday, we were set a task of creating a short passage (either an introduction to a tale, or a story in its own right) based on the following brief given by the organiser, off the top of his head: Night. Edge of a forest. A girl/young woman is walking. Full [...]
Ramblings: Art
I tend to be regarded as something of a heathen by arty people. I'm not a fan of popular art. I can appreciate the talent of the artist, but I don't derive any pleasure from looking at their drawings, paintings, sketches, etc.. When asked for my opinion, I will state, simply, "I don't like it." [...]
Ramblings: Punctuation Matters
People say I don't care about punctuation. Wait... that's not right. People, say I, don't care about punctuation. Yeah, that's much better. Punctuation matters. A lot. One of the finest examples of its importance is the simple phrase 'Let's eat, Grandma.' If you omit the comma, it becomes the slightly more disturbing 'Let's eat Grandma.' [...]
