The Catbridge Cocktail

Once upon a time, there was a cat named Catterton, who lived in the town of Catbridge. Catbridge is very much like Cambridge, but with more cats. Also, the postboxes are an inch taller and it is illegal to wear a tea cosy on your head. We'll have none of that silliness here, Steve. Anyway, as I was saying before Steve so rudely interrupted my train of thoughts...interrupted it like a drunken ballerina on the tracks of some kind of diabolical railway related metaphor! Don't lie to me: I know you were thinking it. You and your...trains...tea cozies..trains...ballet...trains...silliness...trains...whoops. I think I might have written "trains" t

itl b cold tonite Stuart I stared at the text. I had been expecting it—the meeting had already been arranged—but still the sight of it made my stomach lurch in surprise. "It'll be cold tonight." To the network, the message would be innocent enough, but to me the meaning was clear: "Bring a balaclava." That wasn't my job. That wasn't what I'd agreed to do! I checked back through the last half a dozen texts, trying to find some hint, some warning that this was going to happen. "Daniel!" Mr. Lloyd had spotted me. "This is a classroom," he bellowed, "not a call centre! If I see your phone out again I will be keeping it. Do I make m

Look at Me

Look at me. Does it make you feel uncomfortable? To know that you are free, while I am shut away for nothing more than what I am? You would no doubt rather not see me, but... ...look at me. The light is on, now. If things are to change, you must see me for what I am and understand that...it is not a crime to be this way. I came into the world as I am now, but it has always been a cold place to me. I haven't enjoyed the same advantages you have. Haven't had the same freedoms that you have. The comfort and security that you take for granted, I have never known. But the door is open now. The light is on. Look at me. For all my troubles, I am

Chicken Banana Theory by Durkee341, literature

Chicken Banana Theory

Chicken Banana Theory A man walks down the street and encounters another man. This other man believes he is a chicken, and promptly approaches the first man to inform him of this amid a series of chicken-noises. The first man acknowledges this, and hurries past. Later, the first man is walking back along this same path and encounters the same man, though this time, the other man no longer believes that he is a chicken, but rather a banana. This is an illogical transition– one cannot logically explain it by tracking the events that led to this mental transfiguration from chicken to banana. You cannot, for example, say that the man woke u

Moving on.

0 min read

Well, I've finished university according to everything but paperwork...and possibly even that. Essentially, the actual graduation ceremony is the last thing I've got to do, and by that point I won't even be living in this town any more. I've got my results, I'm finishing up the last little things for the anthology, it's really just a matter of tying up loose ends and most of them are already sorted. This may very well be the first place I'll be genuinely sad to leave. School was useful only in that it provided me with an experience compared to which all subsequent suffering would seem merciful. College was great (heavenly in comparison), but

Milestone.

Still haven't really returned to dA, but since I sometimes check back through journals to work out when I did what, this seems worth adding: My work is on the shelf in Waterstones. Admittedly it's only in one shop, in the Poetry section, in the anthology I edited, and the person who's really responsible is the sub-editor who got the shop to take stock, but I'm really pleased to have something on sale in an actual bookshop. I'll never actually get any money from it, but I think it's quite a first. I hope it doesn't also turn out to be a last. That book--along with the earlier ones in the series, a couple of which I contributed to--has also g

Bye for now!

Despite having pretty much finished uni (or, more accurately, because of it) I'm surprisingly busy right now. I'm working on a long story, still trying to make the anthology more widely available, and now just about to start a totally new craft. The long and short of this is that I feel like I'm mostly just signing into dA to stop the messages piling up. Clearing out my watch list some more would probably help, but it doesn't seem like the best solution to what's really a temporary problem. I'll probably sign in now and again, but mostly I just want to focus on my story since it's been a long time since I've been able to give anything like t

Thanks for the feedback on my writing! It's not exactly my views on how to edit either, but it was a project for my editing class so I did need to put what he said should be done.

No problem.

Most of the tutorials/advice I stumble across seem to skip over the actual process of editing/improving work, so it was good to see one that really focused on it.

I wish I had more time to work on it. There was a couple other things I was going to add.
