Obligatory Pinned Post

Hello there. I’m a pinned post. It gets a bit lonely as people meet me once and then never visit again, but I’m a sort of concierge paragraph for the website, so that’s my job I guess. Welcome to the home of Kit, please feel …

I really am quite fickle. Or perhaps that should be fastidious. Since my last post I have been very focused on an idea for a new AI-related story and, in a different approach to my usual novel planning, I started to create a thorough ‘bible’ …

Social Media – AI generated version

So, on a whim I decided to see what AI thought of my thoughts on AI from my last blog, and I uploaded my last post, asking if it could improve my writing and it came up with the below… Just a Few Musings Starting …

Social Media Interactions

Just a few musings, as I’m starting to build a following on Bluesky (a new launch is always a bit scary), but I find the current use of bots a bit odd. All the advice is to interact with others (a bit difficult when you’re …

Here I Go Again (not Whitesnake)

I’ve been away a while I know. Did you miss me (the correct answer is yes)? So after various house move shenanigans I’m finally finding a bit of free time and able to start writing again. The YouTube channel has been quiet, as has Twitter …

My Latest

So, having written nothing for months (distracted by the house move) I’ve just poured out a first draft of a short story, which is quite a strange one, and I don’t quite understand it myself yet. But I’m so pleased to be creating again. I’ve …

New Starts

Funk

This might be the last post for a little while, as to be perfectly frank, I’m in a total writing funk at the minute. That point where you ask why you bother, and question everything you did and its value. I’m sure in the future …

Ben Jonson was Malvolio – The paper I never wrote

What follows is perhaps the laziest of all DIY academic articles. Let me take you back twenty off years, to when the internet was in its infancy, and ‘book-learning’ was done the old fashioned way, and note-taking was done the same way, with a pen …

Current Projects

So, a reminder (to me as well as you) of the current list of works in progress, though I do of course have half a dozen others at the pre-10,000 words stage, and a complete draft of one I wrote in the nineties. And I …

What to do next (grumble)?

So I’m back in that author funk again (excuse the moments of self pity). I’ve created several novels in the last five years, and as my own harshest critical, a number of them aren’t half-bad, and are at least equal to many on the market, …
