Introduction

Hello, my name is Tom Ashton.
I'm a third year Creative Writing student, co-head editor of the creative writing magazine 'The Writer's Quibble' and an aspiring author.
Mostly, I write transgressive fiction with elements of dark humour but i've also been known to write horror, thriller and fantasy. I'm also technically a published poet.
Furthermore, I recently a received a 'First' for a radio script I wrote, which has encouraged me to experiment in different areas.
On this blog you can expect to find my opinion columns, essays and reports as well as poetry and lots of prose.

Please leave me some feedback, in the comment boxes at bottom of each article as it is crucial to me as a writer and therefore greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Tom Ashton

Deadline

Well, 'the-behind-schedule' monster reared it's ugly head yesterday; I had to collect the last of the SFX, download a fair few programs, learn how to use Audacity and cope with 'program not responding, loss of work and unpredictable formatting. However, i'm now all sorted, in regards to compiling the radio drama, although today I need to do some hair-tearing editing, on Audacity and Microsoft Word, to make sure everything comes to fifteen minutes. I'm hoping this will be easy due to unnecessary pauses I can delete...but is anything ever easy?

Because I was up until 8am this morning, restoring my lost work, i've had to sleep into the afternoon and still not had my standard five hours! Weary today, but have to do some radio-drama related shopping (blanks cds, text books, etc).

At least i'll get to see the sun one last time before the descending gloom of tomorrow's deadline.

One more unto the breach...
