Free-form excavations

Posted on 5th November 2007 by Editor

Reed is back tomorrow. Good, I say. Good. I don’t care for this ‘generating content’ lark. How about another spot of juvenalia, while she can’t burst in and stop me? She wrote this one when she was barely 18, and … Continue reading →

The first blond muse

Posted on 4th November 2007 by Editor

Reed is still not back. Lord knows what she’s doing. Gallivanting, I shouldn’t wonder, or possibly even frolicking. But as she’s not here, and left me in charge, I think I shall do something truly evil (heh heh heh) and … Continue reading →

Recovery proceeds apace

Posted on 7th December 2006 by Editor

The Editor goes spelunking

Posted on 26th September 2006 by Editor

Reed is in bed eating chocolate ice-cream and pondering how to be really truly deeply blood-curdling in prose. It’s clearly very absorbing. I mentioned the blog to her and she told me to post something myself if I was that … Continue reading →

Coffee triolet. Café-au-lait?

Posted on 10th August 2006 by Editor
