I am a writer, primarily of short stories. Writers who I hope have influenced me include F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner and James Baldwin. I am particularly interested in the rhythm and sounds of words, the physical side of language, and how this influences the impact that a story has on the reader. Because of this I plan to record some of my stories and put them online in the hope of getting some listeners.
P.S. I have finally finished reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Amazing. He has an eye for new ways of saying things, but also that clipped, succinct style I love. I hope he's influenced me too.
P.P.S. while in the US I wrote one full draft and a few halves and beginnings of new stories. And now I'm writing many more. And I've even finished a couple more now (well roughly). Good times.
Hopefully soon below you'll find some dates when I'm reading out stuff.
