There is no official video clip for this song. Which means I’m totally justified in giving you this one instead.* I still remember this moment In the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild / And the cynics were outraged Screaming, ‘This is absurd!’ Cause for […]

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and start writing I mix things up. I’ll confuse homonyms, I’ll drop words out of sentences, I’ll imagine that I know anything at all about mixing glue. I’ll get my characters the wrong way around. I don’t know why I do this. I actually […]

Turns out, I was wrong. Because there was a second character.** He’s always been there. Always been important. […]

Right now I’m trying to figure out if this new story is in third person or first and if it’s about a boy or a girl because I’ve got chunks of text in basically every permutation. When I start writing something new I tend to simply use ‘he’ and she’ because it’s the easiest way […]

That lyric line ‘I don’t even know your name’ seems particularly pointed right now because I’m struggling to name the characters in this new book that I may be, might be writing. This song is kinda silly and if you read it straight I have some issues with the lyrics. Also the video clip is […]
