New Pieces

I've been a terrible, terrible blogger. I've pretty much flirted with blogspot but never actually managed to post anything of any creative value in the past while. Since I've moved over to England (a month now!) I've been searching for jobs, drinking, writing my short story/novella, been reunited with some of my old housemates and peers (oh, and drinking). Its been great, but the intention of my blog was to showcase up new and upcoming pieces that I wanted to share with everyone and currently, that has been pretty much unrealised. So I guess this blog is the start!

I've been working on experimental writing pieces since I started university through poetry and prose and as a writer, I thought I'd share these first. When we start out we emulate the things that influence us or writers that we are envious of, which is what I originally did, but thought I'd experiment with the layout of words and how they affect the way we perceive a piece.

So today I'll post my first piece, which is called 'Bad Dreams':
