Update!

Hello all and apologies for lack of posting. Tomorrow it will be exactly a month since my last post and I literally can't believe how well the blog has done, I've had over 100 new views without actually posting anything, so thank you to all those who are checking back regularly!

I haven't had a great deal of time in the last month, and deadlines are coming in thick and fast. There was also a point in the last month where I had 3/4 jobs, but due to serious lack of writing time I had to pack in two of those and just stick to the one. I've also finished uni until January too, so hopefully I might get a bit more time to post some stuff.

In case anyone's interested, I'm currently working towards three deadlines of work submission.

The first is a 7000 word piece of fiction. My submission is called Letters from Lucy and tells the story of a young widow from the perspective of the family cat. I'm hoping to show the grieving process through her eyes and add in a few catty pieces of humour with stories of her friends, the neighbours dog and a friendly robin. Please, wish me the best of luck with that one... I'll post some extracts as they come, feedback as always is much appreciated!

The second is a 2000-3000 word collection of poetry. This is very much a weakness of mine, so apologies for dodgy rhymes and please feel free to chip in with any advice! Sadly, I can't plagerise, so if you're gonna mail me things, do it in secret and I'll pay you later ;) The theme I've decided to go with is a collection of adult fairytales, the first of which I'll post for you in a moment.

The third is a 50 minute one act play, some of which will be performed in a June showcase of student's work (which I could literally pee in excitement for!) I've decided to base my play inside a Welsh valley Residential home. It doesn't sound exciting, I know. If anyone wants to write that for me, please, be my guest!

So yeah. Apologies for the lack of posting and thank you for staying loyal! I had an extremely embarrassing but interesting experience with my Dad at Starbucks earlier which was cringe worthy enough to blog, just not tonight... I'll tell y'all tomorrow when I'm not asleep.

Over and out,

Fat Brad x
