Benefits Of The Availability Of Digital Music
Introduction This has been partly influenced by Julian Cope's "Copendium" that I am reading at the moment and it is introducing me to a lot of music that I was unaware of, having said that I completely missed AC/DC although I sang several of their songs when I played with Spoon and The Abominable Showmen.

If Someone Tips You A Dollar For A Story
Introduction Someone sent me a tip for a story of mine yesterday, it was for an entry in an unofficial challenge, but it really gave me a lift.

How Do I Do It?
Introduction I'm often asked how do I know about this or that, or how I find things to write about and I think the answer is fairly simple, and i will answer this with experiences from my past that have shaped who I am today, and how I seem to know so much about things.

More Observations On The Nature Of Vocal Top Stories And Challenge Wins
Introduction I have been here for three years, initially tempted by the big prize money of the challenges. I soon realised that I was very unlikely to ever win or place in a challenge, because I thought I was not a real writer, and in some ways I still feel that way, but I am always learning new things.

The Things We Learn From TV Programs
Introduction I watch a lot of television and some of my favourite series are ones that drop in interesting facts as part of the stories that they tell.
