Potentially, I could
have my work cut out with this page, although it's nice to have an
outlet and quite satisfying putting things up this way. It must be the
journalist in me. A flickering flame... ●All

writings, etc. Acres' Acre, chapter one Acres' Acre is a story I started writing back in the late '70s. I was a journalist then and it was an amazing diversion from my day to day slog. Finishing the first chapter was a particular milestone, I remember. Every day at work I was writing articles on demand, to length and on a predetermined subject, and to come home and just let my mind wander was amazingly uplifting. The first chapter just happened in one sitting, and felt complete. Following chapters came slowly, and then I moved to Cambridge and haven't taken it out of the box since... until now. I have a lot of work to do on it, but it's nice to have a project - on top of all the others I've set myself! The initial spark for the story was the Middle English poem 'Dame Siriz and the Weeping Bitch' http://www.rovart.com/en/archiv.php?id=1829. |
