I’m at 7,000 words on the short story, I’m preparing Tanya’s plinths and dog sculptures for her show at Chelsea, and I shaved my beard.

A time of flux and razored change for all!

I’m really enjoying writing my short story ‘Venom beneath the skin’ for the competition. I’m basing it on Romeo & Juliet, as I love the play and I’m looking forward to doing something interesting with Juliet’s sleeping poison (after all – the comp. theme is ‘Poisonous Intent!’)
