I bought this half kilo bag of kitkat minis at the supermarket yesterday for 1.99 euro. They were in front of the register I was going through as one of those impulse purchase specials, specifically placed there to be picked up by hungry shoppers before reaching the checkout. I was hungry at the time I [...]

I am starting to understand that the art of writing is perfected through the practice of the craft. Like any skill, styles must be experimented with to understand the concepts of a particular form. If you don’t undertake a process of learning through experimentation, you won’t attain a mastery of technique.

Popular writing!
It’s something I’ve been turning over in my head for a while now. I want to write something - a short novel - but I want it to be something that will have some impact; be something that will make people choke with disgust, or bellow in laugher at the things I tell them. [...]
