A blank page
by Sam Giddings
So. Time for a blog reboot. It’s been bloody ages since I wrote anything on here.
Why the overhaul? Well, for the last nine or so months, I’ve been taking a creative module with the Open University. I’ve decided to use this is as a place to post a few bits of my scribblings – short stories, poems, and anything else that blots out from the nib of my pen and onto the page.
I know that my writing can be improved – I’m taking another writing module from October – but I hope having somewhere to put my words might encourage me to write more of them. My tutor kept telling me to work on finding my voice; I can’t say I disagree. I know what I’m writing isn’t quite polished enough yet, but I feel like I’ve already come a long way, and perhaps this will help me chart any progress I hope to make. At the moment, I’m pushing, pulling and pressing on the edges of my writing – in short, I’m practicing.
Please don’t savage my work, but any constructive criticism or other feedback is welcome.
Good to see you blogging again. Looking forward to reading more.
