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

Motivation

I woke up late today, in order to avoid a hangover, and spent the rest of the day socialising with friends. Unfortunately, this means i've done no work and now i'm too weary to concentrate...though, coincidentally, I feel switched on enough to watch all the good tv that's on.
I find myself with a decision to make; drink caffeine, try to stay awake and pray I find the will to do work or go to bed so i'll be more alert/productive tomorrow.
I'd much prefer to go to bed but then i'll have done no work all day. I must fight my demons of laziness and try to do a few hundred words before tiredness overpowers me.

There is no excuse for inactivity; success belongs to the doers.
