Killing Daniel - update

And lo, after the gazillionth edit, Killing Daniel was sent out to publishers last week. I may do a list when I get the responses back e.g.:

Faber = Nuh-uh.
Macmillan = Nuh-uh.

Cross *everything* for me ;)

That lovely man from Writer's Village, John Yeoman, just emailed me to say that an extract from my novel Killing Daniel had won second place in the Spring Competition.

Tyres and Lemonade

Tyres are bad things. Garages are worse things. People who put nails in your tyres because you're parking in front of their house for a few hours when there is no other place to park at work, are bad things. Mechanics who change your computer and forget to plug things back in and make your car worse, are very bad things.

Good things: Easter. A little interest in the second novel. Writing loads...

Welcome...

Because MySpace is so passe, I have decided to infect a new blogosphere with my writing gossip.

What's new in the world of Dobbs?

- A new job at the University Centre at Blackburn College. Exciting. I get to design a new Creative Writing degree. Fun times.

- Decided to translate Drawing Alice into a stage play. Praise the lord for Script Gold.

- Taking pro-active approach on erm, actually being a writer. Result? Writing loads.

- PhD? No comment. I will get round to this before...I die.

- Submissions out and awaiting response? 3. Am I going to win the Bridport Prize? Am I buggery. But still, you've got to be in it...

Cross those fingers!
