| 1983 |
Trig Trog
He tells such marvolose storys. My seven-year-old account of this classic Yuletide fable, included in "My Christmas Book" along with Mary and the Angle and My Christmas Stocking ("iff you got suffercated, you wolld die"). |
1985 |
Aladoushus and the Gorges |
1985 |
Damacus and Thisian
Twin tales of sibling strife - I was almost into double figures when I wrote these (and finally allowed a pen...) |
1986 |
Living at the Confluence
A tale of life in deadly Tewkesbury... |
1986-87 |
River Poetry
Assorted verse with a watery theme from my 3rd year at junior school. I dont think I've written a poem since. |
1988 |
Lost
How different that TV show might have been if Robin had written it... aren't you glad you're not marooned here? A co-authored assignment from my last year at junior school.
|
1988 |
Future Life
Another place you wouldn't want to be... Robin's vision of life in 2020, from the same school project. |
1989 |
Untitled
Written over the Easter Holiday, when I was twelve. Dedicated to "Randy [Jackson], my hero" - yes the guy from American Pop Idol (later to do jail time for assaulting his wife and young baby). Little did I know... |
1989 |
Kerfunk's Good Day
Another Randy (and Michael) Jackson story, featuring what have to be the least convincing gang members in fictional history - Clive and Midge? (!) "Bossing around our gang as if y' own it. Well, I'm not 'avin' you in it any more, so you can jolly well get lost!" Quite. |
1990 |
Demon Baby
A (very) short-lived comic strip, done in Graphic Art class. |
1990 |
The Clubhouse
Also written over a holiday (probably Summer Break 1990), thus predating the King of Hollywood knife fight by about 13 years - note that Mike also has a blade scar on his cheek. |
1990 |
Untitled
A bizarre short play, my (distinctly un-PC!) attempt to do "edgy" with a cast of hip young things. Remember when we still had "Our Price record stores"? |
1990 |
DOA
A short whodunnit, written with my younger brother. |
1991
|
The Scottish Adventure
My first (sadly unfinished!) attempt at writing a novel - I got up 92,000 words before GCSE revision took over. |
1991 |
Baked Beans for Guy
Written with a friend (in about two hours!), this was the joint winner of the 1991 Watford Palace Theatre Young Playwright competition (Under 19 category). Were we the only ones to enter? Probably... |
1991 |
A Thousand A Year
Another whodunnit, this one is in play form. Written with two schoolfriends and performed in front of our English class - I played Granny. |
1991 |
Not 18: Essay on a Child's Viewpoint |
1991 |
Aftereffect: An Essay Involving the Senses
Later submitted as part of my English GCSE coursework during Year 11. We didnt have "A stars" in those days. |
1992 |
Such a Good Boy
Another spooky story, from about the same time. |
1996 |
The Road to Hell
A ten-minute screenplay adaptation of "The Snow Child" by Angela Carter, part of the coursework for a Creative Writing module for my second-year Screen Studies course at Liverpool John Moores University. |
1997 |
Nevermore
A thirty-minute screenplay, adapted from the classic 1845 poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, for the same module. Possibly my first gay-themed work (were Eddie and Jason lovers?). |
