On Creative Writing
I've been enjoying discussing "On Creative Writing" with fine folks, worldwide! Lots of fabulous things going on at present in the creating, and discussing, of Creative Writing, from lots of folks. Lots of gaps of course - some folks haven't been involved, or simply don't want to be. Those voices will be heard now and then. And so they should be! Personally, I'm looking forward to more fabulous work emerging. . .

Camera Phone (novel) by Brooke Biaz - Out Now
I crouch in Modern Film Classics while Karen, coming in from the backroom, and from the left, ten minutes after opening, makes some comment about some writer or another looking like Rene Russo. To which I call out: “O, right, who exactly?” I phone shoot her in medium shot with a wall of films by Scorsese behind her.
On the seventh floor all is pretty quiet. The corridor is long, dog-legging at half way. A TV somewhere is playing what sounds like a repeat of ‘80s cop show Hill Street Blues. I have no idea which episode and, even though I’ve seen them all more than once, I can’t seem to get interested in thinking about it. The carpet being a low pile is allowing me to glide effortlessly and silently over it, while not forgetting to shoot each one of the apartment doors so that the threatening notion that one of them could open at any minute and reveal . . .
Camera Phone is a novel of cell phones and films -- with some fabulous, low-cost recipes and recommendations for further reading.
Let’s face it, there’s more than meets the eye when you’re studying film at the University of Southport.
