The rumbling gets to me in the way a not great thing grates upon a person. All of the rumbles and snorts and puffs intrude upon my sense of who I am and interfere with that which might be the continuation of myself, if it were allowed to continue, undisturbed by the inconvenience of theContinue reading “Silly Poem – Rumblings”

Serious Poem – Ironing
Ironing out my thoughts, I try to think the bumps away … I can’t. Copyright owned by Jay Cool, November 2019
Savvy Book – My Sister, The Serial Killer
*See disclaimer at foot of post. ‘My Sister, The Serial Killer’, by Oyinkan Braithwaite. Why buy a book duty-bound to give one nightmares? Because it has an attractive cover? Can a nightmare even have an attractive cover? Think about it. What could be more appealing, to a cult-follower of Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’, than a lime-greenContinue reading “Savvy Book – My Sister, The Serial Killer”
Savvy Writing Tips – How to Get Published
Indeed, how? Beats me. I’ve reached my target of 38,000ish words. What now? How do I get someone, something, somewhere, to publish the thing? Is it enough of a more of a thing to take a publisher’s fancy? In hope of being given all the answers, I take myself out of my cave, rev upContinue reading “Savvy Writing Tips – How to Get Published”
Savvy Writing Tips – How to Write a Whole Book
Okay, so I did it. Not only have I, for the first time, written more than six chapters of a book, I have actually finished the thing. Incredible! How?

Why isContinue reading “Savvy Writing Tips – How to Write a Whole Book”

No views. Is business a card, distributed to many, if the many see no purpose in following it through? Have I been reduced to a card of many that produces nothing? Am I a reduction? Will someone find me, someday, in the pocket of a charity shop jacket, and will they pick me up andContinue reading “A Silly Poem – No Views”
Savvy Comedy – Jobseekers
In for another fun evening at The Tap? Personally, I didn’t take much persuading. Just the thought of a pint (or two) of the old mango cider got me here by teleportation – the comedians on offer being a mere bonus! Bit of a BOGOFF offer; buy two pints and get a comedian thrown inContinue reading “Savvy Comedy – Jobseekers”
Mid-Life MOT
Written in response to an article in The Independent, by Chiara Giordano. Causes. When is our Tory government going to start researching causes instead of effects? According to the highly-esteemed Iain Duncan-Smith, co-founder for the Centre of Social Justice (CSJ), then due to the high numbers of ‘economically inactive’ 50 to 64 year olds currentlyContinue reading “Mid-Life MOT”
Silly-Savvy Poem – Thursday
Trudging, hearse-like, in morning slumber – worse, I know, than swinging out to terrain of pink-dank carpet, cupped with hoops of tan (the stains of long-drunk coffee cups, and mugs, and breakfast bowls- uprooted from cluttered-clanks of kitchen chaos, to quell the thirst of mornings gone, of people past, of time thrown out, of thoughtsContinue reading “Silly-Savvy Poem – Thursday”
