Our River Will Never Run Dry
The title came to me thinking about my inspirational friend and how they inspire me with their words and encouragement. I have used Joni Mitchell's "River" once again as it is a beautiful song to play while reading this. I know it is a Christmas song but it is always wonderful to listen to.

(Un)Inspired
Introduction This is just about how I deal with the times that I sometimes think that I have nothing to write about. As I pen this I look outside my window and see the sun in a very blue sky, seagulls wheeling, and trees and flowers, as well as birds feeding and the odd cat and dog wandering by.

Introduction My friend Randi posted this meme on Facebook and I thought that is perfect for me. This is how I think cats think about themselves and it is how I think about myself. I am not an uncaring person but I do feel I am too selfish to care for a pet, but I will further elucidate on the subject.

Why Vocal Will Always Disdain My Work
These are just some tongue-in-cheek observations on how I think Vocal see me, as opposed to my friends and audience. Although I write the odd horror or dark story, it is never depressing, I shed that skin long ago.

Keith Emerson - Master Of Classical Destruction
Introduction The title of this may sound like I am not too impressed with Keith Emerson, but while some of his work with The Nice and Emerson, Lake and Palmer left me cold, a lot of it made my jaw drop.

A Plagiaristic Library
I was just looking at book titles and thought that they would be a good idea for my Plagiaristic Poetry series. It also means that you can see and read the sort of things that I read. This is obviously just a tiny selection of the books in Chateau Dredd
