A Sandstorm
I was watching the latest BBC production of “Around The World In 80 Days” which you can see on iPlayer here if you are in the UK, and Phileas Fogg and Passepartout were stranded in “The Empty Quarter”, a concept or area that I have come across before in books by Daniel Easterman and Clive Barker. It is a place of nothingness, just sand dunes and nothing else, a place where you could be lost forever and you could lose your very soul.

The Old Songs Are The Best is a phrase that many people use when they get older. I usually reply that at any given time 95% of music is at best forgettable , and it’s up to us to find that 5% , and I try hard to do that.

The Hurt of Not Writing
Yesterday I didn’t write , but I wanted to . This wasn’t writer's block (I have written a piece on how I deal with this here), this was something else.

Rose of England
I was watching an Agatha Christie “Marple” tonight and the phrase “faint heart never won fair hand “ was said which made me think of a favourite Nick Lowe song “Rose of England” , so this is for a very special girl who lives in London , my Muse.

How Our Facebook Vocal Groups Evolve
I often see people posting old Vocal stories to increase the reads, but the problem is once you have read a Vocal story , further visits will not increase the reads on that story. I thought it is a bit pointless sharing old stories because only new readers will count.
