The Twenty-Four Hour Fast Fiction Challenge - the stories behind the stories
So, I’ve been blogging about the stories behind the stories… Why I wrote the stories I did for the various celebrities that challenged me during The Twenty-Four Hour Fast Fiction Challenge. People like Ian Rankin, Marcus Brigstocke, Richard Curtis and the like.
Here’re the blog entries so far

I received several requests for this, so for the next few days, I’m going to be blogging about The Twenty-Four Hour Fast Fiction Challenge - the idea, what happened, something about each story… Kind of the stories behind the stories…
Here’s part one, setting out the idea…

So…music…
As some people know by now, I’m sure, in one of my past lives I loved to sing, was professional for a little while, and got to have a lot of fun with a few bands and producers before comics took over and became my life, haha. ^_~
I also used to write a lot of stuff for the sheer fun of it that I would mostly play for myself in the safety of my own house. Recently however, I’ve had cause to start revisiting all of those old songs and, in the process, Pud and I uncovered a playlist of some recordings I’d completely forgotten about! So this is a for-posterity and nostalgia trip for me as much as an answer to the people who have, over the years, been awesomely supportive and have always asked if there are any more tracks to hear. *hug*I still have a few more hidden away, but this is an initial selection of what I found. They vary from simple live recordings that were made to get songs down for memory, to a now-retro-sounding chilled dance track collaboration with Essex-based producer Steve Mortimer. It was a lot of fun re-discovering some of these. I hope you enjoy them. Do let me know if any grab your attention. :)
And to everyone’s who’s ever inquired about my songs and supported: you guys are amazing.xx Thank you. This is a nerve-wracking part of my life to put out there these days, as I’m far more used to hiding behind comic pages. ‘^_^
(posting on sunday evening like an internet noob, but I’ll revisit in the week ^_^)
