Holding Patterns is my site. It’s a site amongst many. It’s a site in the great interweb ocean, sure to be drowned out amongst so many other voices, and though I don’t hope to presume my words to be any more or less worthy than any others you may find, it remains my own site of my own work.
It’s a strange concept. Personal space that exists in no physical place. A no-place, built on blocks of code, ideas, and given form by strokes of a digital paintbrush. That takes up only the place it occupies on a computer hard drive, and in whatever thoughts and feelings it causes in whoever reads it.
It’s a self published selection of some of the things I write. Due to the fact that if I am forced to read anything on a computer screen for a long period of time, I get both bored and a headache, it will be full of the shorter pieces of my work, rather than the longer screenplays and novels which I have also written. Whilst powered and styled like a blog It should be stressed the entries are almost always fiction. Or as much fiction as you can ask from a writer. Imagine it as a webcomic without any pictures if it makes it easier. I hoped, in my initial thoughts, it would turn out like a digital book of stories, one that’s continually being written so you never quite reach the final page. I can’t guarantee I won’t occasionally abuse my position and write editorial pieces, but that’s a danger you’ll have to live with.
I hope you like what you read here.
