So, I’ve now moved house and just getting settled. Thankfully, I shall be back to writing and blogging soon. In the meantime, why don’t you keep yourself busy reading one of my books? 😉 Stay safe, Kit x
Read MoreFunk
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 …
Read MoreBen 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 …
Read MoreCurrent 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 …

Read MoreInsignificance 7
I recently read the best-selling Yellowface, by R.F.Kuang, and have to say that I enjoyed it and found it extremely readable, but with my cynical hat on (the stylish one with the purple feather) I can’t help wondering whether it was constructed as the ultimate …
Read MoreLook, Listen… A Dylan Thomas Legacy
