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

15th-17th July

I've neglected my blogging a little lately because i've been hard at the prose writing; a seven thousand word first draft in three days. 
The story was originally to be a standard psychological thriller with an unhappy ending but it has taken on several biblical elements and a paranormal spin. I love it when my own writing surprises me. 

Now, to write two more pieces of prose, in preparation for Independent Study next year, then prose for summer writing competitions and then i've to mould a prose piece into a radio script... 

...AND LOTS OF REDRAFTING! 

I'm grateful to the source of my current productivity.
