		<title>Ten-minute play &#8216;Crush&#8217; at Newtown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just spent a great couple of nights at Short and Sweet Week 6 in Newtown. Eleven plays were up with mine in the eleventh spot.
The night was a real mixed bag as always but I reckon that, generally, there was higher standard this year than any I&#8217;ve previously attended.
Personal favourites included: Diagnosis by B.C. [...]]]></description>

Not the best sound quality unfortunately&#8230; it&#8217;s hard to make you what they&#8217;re saying, but I can assure you the script is brilliant.

		<title>New Poem &#8211; &#8216;You by Andy Warhole&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(Best read fast, with a slight Cockney accent)
There&#8217;s a man called Andy Warhole and he lives just down my street.
I think he&#8217;s a podiatrist or something to do with feet.
He used work in factories, drove a Forklift that was blue.
Now he&#8217;ll sort you feet out lovely and cut your corns off too.
He&#8217;s nothing like that [...]]]></description>

		<title>New poem &#8211; &#8216;Black and White&#8217;</title>

Black and white
Phillip was a black kid, Johnny he was white.
One was pale as snow the other dark as night.

		<title>How not to get sucked in by spam emails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get a lot of emails. I’m not showing off; these days it’s not a sign that I’m in demand but rather that my email address has been found by some spam-producing git.
So this morning when I looked through my junk mail I wondered, “Which of these emails is legitimate and which is just crap?” [...]]]></description>

		<title>NO I WON’T PAY $3.99 TO USE FACEBOOK BUT I MIGHT PAY $3.95</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 Every time I log into Facebook, I notice that more and more people have joined a rather verbosely titled group called “NO, I WILL NOT PAY $3.99 A MONTH TO USE FACE BOOK FROM JULY 9TH 2010!”
 
The precise amount begs the question: “Well, how much would you be prepared to pay?” If not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital copywriting secrets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few months I’ve had several enquiries about how to become a digital copywriter, mainly from DM copywriters looking to ‘break in’ to the wonderful world of web writing.
First up: I didn’t train to be a digital copywriter. I did English literature, History and Philosophy for my degree (not exactly vocational). I’ve never [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short story published on Sparkapolooza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I recently discovered a great little site Sparkapolooza. Each month they post a simple brief and give fans two weeks to submit something &#8216;creative&#8217;.
Or in their words:
&#8220;Sparkapolooza is a project about forcing those creative juices out. They&#8217;re there- they just get buried under day to day life. Now there&#8217;s two things to get them flowing [...]]]></description>
