Snoring!

Hubby swears he never snores, and so I filmed him. He challenged me to upload it to YouTube, and here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3RJ9RA2fk8

Soon after uploading the video, I was contacted by a Brazilian death metal band, Máquina Voadora, who asked if they could use a few clips as part of their forthcoming video to accompany their new acoustic song about sleeping. Richard loved the idea!

I have been busy creating more new Hubpages. I've rather taken to that site... Recent additions include interviews with a Druid, a green witch, and artist Pixie Wildflower, plus articles on writing, kombucha, cryonics, reincarnation, the minor arcana and Welsh rarebit - among other topics.

 Parallel Dimensions, the Fantasy and Science-Fiction event which I organised last June for Hadley Rille Books' authors, has been invited to return on 16th September as part of Wirral Bookfest 2010.

Riverside Writers' forthcoming anthology is coming along smoothly. The material is totally diverse, reflecting the different personalities within the group. We're in the process of putting the MS into PDF format for our publisher, and we're hoping for an April/June publication date. Once we know the date, we hope to organise a launching event for it at West Kirby Library.

With regard to my own writing, I haven't made a start on Fabian yet. I've been working on a few short stories instead, and also giving Rowan another edit. Rowan on paper is now so covered in notes and alterations that some of it's hard to read, so I've been printing a fresh paper copy and have workshopped bits of this at Riverside Writers' meetings.

There are four of us at Riverside Writers who are working on novels now. Two of these though they'd never have the courage to tackle writing anything so long, despite them being excellent short story writers. I absolutely love it when that happens, when any of the group creates something which they'd not tried before - like the man who'd never written any poetry before he joined us, and now his work's been broadcast on radio. Wonderful!

A Cure for Aging?

"All that we profess to do is but this, - to find out the secrets of the human frame; to know why the parts ossify and the blood stagnates, and to apply continual preventatives to the effort of time.  This is not magic; it is the art of medicine rightly understood.  In our order we hold most noble -, first, that knowledge which elevates the intellect; secondly, that which preserves the body.  But the mere art (extracted from the juices and simples) which recruits the animal vigour and arrests the progress of decay, or that more noble secret which I will only hint to thee at present, by which heat or calorific, as ye call it, being, as Heraclitus wisely taught, the primordial principle of life, can be made its perpectual renovator...."

Remembering Richie Tattoo Artist's Studio

Richard in the street entrance to his tattoo studio in Liverpool. The vertical sign next to Richard is now in the Liverpool Tattoo Museum. Yesterday, my sister Evelyn, Richard and myself stood outside Richard's old tattoo studio and looked up at the few remaining signs, whose paint has now mostly flacked away to reveal bare wood. On the studio's window are stick-on letters which read, "Art", where once it boldly announced his presence as the city's only "Tattoo Artist".  I can remember him buying that simple plastic lettering from an old-fashioned printer's shop. This was in 1993, not long after he'd opened the studio and before he could afford better signs. After he'd patiently stuck them onto the glass we realised that from the outside the sign read "Artist Tattoo", so we had to carefully peel the letters off the window and have another go, laughing over having made such an obvious error yet worried in case we spoiled the letteri...

Dear Diary...

Do you keep a diary? Why did you start it, and, if you started one then stopped, why was that? What sort of things do (or did) you write about? I ask as, as a long-time diarist myself, there is an interesting piece in The Guardian today which talks about one woman's diary habit, which she began at the age of fourteen. I started a diary around that age too, but destroyed it after my mother accused me of using cocaine.  A stern scene followed, with both parents perched ram-rod straight in their armchairs, while I was subjected to a heated inquisition. Where had I bought it, and who from? Didn't I know such things led to death and doom? I struggled to decipher their bewildering accusations, until Mum blurted out, "I read it in your diary!" To find my diary, Mum would first have had to rummage through my dressing table, obviously when I wasn't around to protest. Her intrusion on my privacy was assumed by both parents to be acceptable, and now, with this handwritten c...
