A great weekend (mine last 4 days): plotted out a new novel, sent loads of stories out, went to see 3 Beckett performances, and on Tuesday my band is playing at Quarry. If you're reading this you are invited.

My short story 'Crazy Cat Lady Neighbour we Used to Have' was shortlisted but finally declined. This has happened a few times now. The problem is that there are too many good writers, but I'm not sure what can be done about this.
