Monsters, Misfits and Maidens

Friday, November 10th, 2023

I have been planning and plotting and looking back over some of my older writing especially that in the Punk’s Universe and I have realised that most of my protagonists fall into one if not all three categories of Monsters, Misfits and Maidens. Obviously there is a bit of the old Mary Sue concept about […]

The Monster Blogs

Friday, September 24th, 2010

I have finally sorted out a home page for my creative writing – this is all the Monster Blogs plus Wiggly Pet and WoPoWriMo (World Poetry Writing Month). The URL is http://monsters.wigglypets.co.uk/.

The Tree Of Life

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2022

When actually signing up on the NaNoWriMo site I had to really ponder what I was calling this project – the Maidens of the Wild, Wild Women, Women of the Wilds, Life and Death and Extremes, The Cradle and the Grave, The Cycle of Life, Cyclic Decay… and so on when I had a dream […]

Starting Stories

June contains National Flash Fiction Day here in the Uk and so I am kind of writing flash fiction this month – kind of… well actually no what I am doing is taking the story starters booklet I made of the first 100 story starters I posted on Magenta Monster and writing from them. I […]

New Year… er same old story?

Sunday, January 1st, 2017

Another year has passed and I still don’t really have anything finished for The Punk’s Universe other than a few flash fictions and short stories (to be fair there is actually quiet a lot of these which can be read on Magenta Monster under the category The Punk’s World). In 2019 I will have been […]

Trying out Different Styles

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

I’ve been thinking that I should try out different drawing styles to design the look of my comic book. One of the things I wanted to try was the concept of scribble pictures – so I have been experimenting with this in my visual poetry journal. I am also using them as a good way […]

Of Insanities and Writing Challenges!

Saturday, November 2nd, 2013
