Hi
I found a link to Litopia while trying to find an actor whose mannerisms I could plunder for a character, in a sort of ... novel ... I'm writing / re-writing. In a way it's like a collection of short stories. Anyway I was looking for someone from Cumbria and the List of people from Carlisle Wikipedia page listed, ahem ... Peter Cox (hello!) whose page linked here.
I thought maybe the Cosmos was somehow ... giving me its guidance (awkward grimace teeth emoji).
So, anyway, yes - I'm based in London, in the UK. I like short stories, mainly. I suppose I like finding books from the past that have maybe fallen out of the popular consciousness (for example The Search for Joseph Tully, by William H. Hallahan). Anything vaguely ... dreamlike. At the moment I'm reading mainly non-fiction. Because I'm doing this 're-write' I'm trying to avoid other people's voices in my head, though may well pick up a book of Hubert Selby Junior's short stories some time soon ...
My life has not offered up any major lessons as yet. I'm sort of vaguely, practically vegetarian. I love Indian food. I also have an unshakable enthusiasm for cheese and potatoes.
