September Song 6 months, 3 weeks agoBecause I know what the consequences of each choice are, mine have been made for me, very kindly, by Jules.

Yikes! That book title is ‘kind’?

Absolutely. The Sri Lankan civil war, which the west often overlooked as uninteresting, was a terrible but facinating period. I don’t think Jules knew that I was particularly drawn to its history, but if not it’s a lucky accident. The book is a fantasy applying themes from mythology to create a story from the time. It was the Booker prize winner in 2022.

I’ve tried to make the consequences easy to negotiate.

I chose my title for its inspiration and flexibility; it’s a bonus I’ve already written 286 words.

September Song 7 months agoWelcome all.
September Song, music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Maxwell Anderson, is a bittersweet evocation of life and love as one grows older. September, we hear, is when we look back at what seemed like a plentiful supply of time, and recognise how precious is the time to come. A time of contemplation and transition.

September Song 7 months agoI am not going to explain what these choices mean – not now anyway. They will have an influence on your story, but I have every confidence that you will cope. You have all the skill and application necessary. I will explain them later, but that won’t be until the group becomes private.
And please don’t take these choices too seriously. Yes, there…[Read more]
