Start Again
Every day is a challenge for me. Six months ago I lost my job due to downsizing to improve profits for the company. There were no redundancy payments for me or the others, we were sacked for "not doing our jobs" but they wouldn't tell us what we hadn't done.

Trying To Make My Writing Look Good
Introduction I have written about making our stories a little more pleasant to look at and therefore draw more readers in because they think "Oooh that looks interesting". They might not be tempted by the subject but I still try and captur people's attention.

Creationism
Introduction I have just started reading "Creation Stories: Riots, Raves and Running a Label" by Alan McGee and I have loved a lot of the releases from the label, some of which were big sellers and important releases.

No one used telephone boxes anymore but they were still very sturdy structures although mainly used as urinals.

A Yankee Playlist
Introduction This is just a few songs with the word "Yankee" in the title. This is Wiki's words on Yankees. For some reason, the first record on the playlist was just in my head, and on checking it seems quite difficult to get hold of if you look in the wrong places although the price has dropped significantly since yesterday, but there is a vinyl copy on it's way to me via Discogs.

Sculling
He was in the water, floating, sculling, enjoying the moon and the stars on this warm night. He knew at some point he would have to head for the shore. It would take several hours but that was a lot less than the ten years he had spent in the last ninety minutes on that boat.

Exclusive Content !!! Extra, Extra Read All About It !!!
Introduction I have been fairly scathing about Vocal's implementation of Exclusive Content and you can check it out here. Many creators disagree with me and many agree with my concerns.
