First proper writing day, I think I'm sorting out an impossible timeline mess I had got into at the start of this novel.

Brilliantly snipey review from Laura Snapes of latest Taylor Swift offcuts, rightly naming Reputation as a career high - great to have someone so steeped in Swift-lore vent at her latest trifle. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/s...

Taylor Swift: The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore review – flashes of humanity and bafflingly vindictive love songs

This four-track addition to a critically maligned album works hard to remind fans what they love about Swift, with some sweet highs and galling lows

Been spending this week making new music. One of the untrammelled joys of my life since I was 15. Still pretty much same way as ever. Try something out, like the sound, press record, then build into a song or instrumental. Today I got down a backing track, scribbled some lyrics, did a guide vocal.

Finished new neo-classical instrumental, and redid lyrics and vocal for a track recorded in January, two more vocals to be redone, and probably needs one or more new tracks for album 46.

Written 1500 words of something new, bit of a noirish thriller. Not sure how long it will be but all takes place in a single day.

Nicholas Royle has called A Personal Anthology "a brilliant thing" and “sustainable, infinite, inspiring”, which is fantastic. BUT it will only be infinite if I can keep finding willing contributors. SO if you're a fan of short stories, and would like to take part, then get in touch. DMs open!
