Yes, issue-...I am sure your stories are not silly!<br /><br />Yes, issue-driven film/fiction/art will always be followed by those who are already interested but hoooking the rest of the public, making it 'sexy' is the key... but I am just so happy that this film project is even in the offing.nmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477643084619789093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-46072019522407019852010-03-25T15:32:05.534+00:002010-03-25T15:32:05.534+00:00What do I write? just silly short stories - not se...What do I write? just silly short stories - not sent any anywhere yet.<br /><br />Have a longer project but brain mash is getting in the way - it has a girl who has been ill since 1892 and lost (fake) Freudian case histories and letters and much other nonsense... <br /><br />I don't have a blog atm because it would go 'got up, felt shit, went back to bed... got up, felt shit...' Would like to set one up when having a concentratey day.<br /><br />Good to see you on the Film clip - I hope they can get it some dicent distribution - only believers will watch it if they can't get it on a mainstream TV channel.Josshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987004451627906924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-23351492455497047972010-03-20T22:22:18.796+00:002010-03-20T22:22:18.796+00:00bit tired but i must respond to this.

Ha, I no longer feel as if I write, the novel totally overwhelmed me, all I do for now is my blog - what do you write, you have no profile - I'd be interested to see.nmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477643084619789093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-40411675518136527162010-03-09T17:25:05.469+00:002010-03-09T17:25:05.469+00:00Hiya,

Sebald is worth looking at as well. 'Rings of Saturn' is an extraordinary book.<br /><br />Thanks for you blog - it's nice that someone else with ME writes and reads... more reading than writing for me lately - no excuses hey!Josshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987004451627906924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-79698589023618008462010-03-06T12:24:48.955+00:002010-03-06T12:24:48.955+00:00Ha, that is a godd description, rightwing harpie.
...Ha, that is a godd description, rightwing harpie.<br /><br />I don't think I have read any of Will Self's fiction, though I saw him read a fair few years ago, and I like his articles...

Her very funky, liberal looking reading glasses could not save her from her reactionary frothing and tutting.nmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477643084619789093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-88116859333513322462010-03-05T15:05:31.444+00:002010-03-05T15:05:31.444+00:00She did look great and the reading glasses were an...She did look great and the reading glasses were an amusing aspect of that. At her most indignant, self-righteous moments she repeatedly looked down at whatever notes she had been primed with.<br /><br />This reminded me of the football commentator Clive Tyldesley, who clearly thinks of soundbites before a game and attempts to trot them out as though they aren't rehearsed.<br /><br />Thanks for the link :-)Political Scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511498027607893482noreply@blogger.com
