Fingerprint File
You probably know that 'Fingerprint File' is a Rolling Stones song, right? And that it was on the 1974 album It's Only Rock and Roll. It's one of my least favourite songs from that album but I like the lyrics. They work for me today, so, there ya go. Today is another day of mistaken … Continue reading Fingerprint File

Let’s have another wee chat …
By now I'm sure you know what that means. If you guessed that I'm reading another book that could do with help, you're correct. You win. Your prize is a blog post about characterisation and creating different characters. More specifially how characters view the world differently. Let's look at that, shall we? Yeah, that's right, … Continue reading Let’s have another wee chat …

If You Want My Love You Got It
I cannot lie I love me some Cheap Trick and that song ^ was playing when I turned the radio on this morning. It's one of my favs from Cheap Trick. I've been radio silent for a wee while.
