My submissions to the Splice mail art project.
My friend Ruben is undergoing treatment for relapsed Hodgkins Lymphoma at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, which began in the month of January, 2010. The Splice project has been set up to try to provide a distraction from the situation for Ruben. The project aims to display all of its submissions in an exhibition after the April 30th deadline.
The project is open to submissions from the entire planet!. Click here to get to the Splice website.
Correspondance, heavily annotated novels, hand-written manuscripts, poetry, juvenilia…
A dream for fans of the writer.
But he’ Last coronation
From the Guardian.
1 The reader is a friend, not an adversary, not a spectator.
2 Fiction that isn’t an author’s personal adventure into the frightening or the unknown isn’t worth writing for anything but money.
3 Never use the word “then” as a conjunction – we have “and” for this purpose. Substituting “then” is the lazy or tone-deaf writer’s non-solution to the problem of too many “ands” on the page.
4 Write in the third person unless a really distinctive first-person voice offers itself irresistibly.
5 When information becomes free and universally accessible, voluminous research for a novel is devalued along with it.
6 The most purely autobiographical fiction requires pure invention. Nobody ever wrote a more auto biographical story than “The Meta morphosis”.
7 You see more sitting still than chasing after.
8 It’s doubtful that anyone with an internet connection at his workplace is writing good fiction.
9 Interesting verbs are seldom very interesting.
10 You have to love before you can be relentless.

I was thinking about people being ecstatically happy in the morning, so I wrote this tune. I hope you like it.
