You’re cool but you’ll never be ‘John calling the South Pole to intro his movie to a base full of trapped scientists’ cool.

Thanks to Steven K Schalau for sharing!

FETCH: INDIES Book of the Year Finalist

Posted on March 8, 2024

FETCH is a finalist in the INDIES Book of the Year Awards and now one of the:

“most outstanding works representing a significant contribution to the literary landscape”

Not bad for a kids book about smashing skeletons to pieces.

Purpose

Posted on March 8, 2024March 8, 2024

I’m still wrestling with what this blog is for.

Once the rest of the website is finished I’ll be relaunching Midnight Quatermass. I’m pretty active on Instagram and occasionally post to Facebook. And gods help me, I’m even thinking about reviving my old tumble-log purely for images I find online that are currently filling up my hard-drive.

Back in the day I wrote a few personal blogs along with an MP3 blog (remember them?), was active on all the social media platforms and also had my writing going up on various websites and magazines… That time has passed and maybe if Google Reader still existed it’d be easier to find a use for this particular space now. The loss of GReader and Twitter-as-it-was were real body-blows for me. I miss other sites, but these two services changed the way I work so drastically for the better that I just took it for granted they were gonna stick around.

Now the truth is that I don’t read any blogs on a regular basis anymore – I need a nudge from elsewhere to find or remember them.

It’s a mess. We really did fuck this stuff up.

So what I don’t want to do is simply replicate the posts I write elsewhere here. But finding an audience for this slice of the website feels like an uphill struggle. I may have got it right initially by calling it a notebook and should continue to use it primarily as just that – notes to myself.

Maybe the better stuff I post here will grow into something worth rewriting for the newsletter which has already has an audience… I probably need to have a look around and see what folk are using their blogs for these days.

Usually I just allow stuff to fall into place, but this feels like something I need to kick around a little more.

Bear with me.
