Poetry: I am quite tempted to just not write it any more, I have sucked the arse of literature this year.

I so cannot possibly believe you won't write poetry again. I just. Cannot. Compute. Words.

Will probably change mind later but at the moment, eh, words. Nothing doing.

Ooh, while I remember: is it ok if I turn As Simple As Hunger into a format I can read on my Kindle? That way I will actually READ IT.

If you give me two tics and your email address I can send you the whole thing as one Word doc (or odt if you prefer) to make that easier, even.

A Word doc will do nicely :)

Email is this username at gmail. Want me to send a copy back when it's done?

That would be very kind. :D This is very much the unedited first draft, btw, so try not to be too thrown by occasions where it transforms into gibberish.

I need to figure out how the pseudo-ipad handles ebooks, but then i'll hopefully manage to buy all your back catalog off Lulu, and i'll prolly ask you for As Simple As Hunger too (i suspect i'm going to have quite a bit of time before i lose aaaaall of it!)

Also, i loved your villanelles!

Hah, I am very glad that the annoying effort that went into them paid off!

I thiiiiink that would be with some short of app, surely? EPUB seems to be the format that most things like.

Yeah, i don't expect it to be difficult, but my path at everything is slower than a turtle at the moment... I most definitely hope epub it is, or at worst pdf. I'll come back to you when i get there :)

My friend H has converted it to .Mobi, which is for Kindles generally but might be easier to convert across to something else. :)

Do you want proofreading-type comments on As Simple As Hunger? I'm only up to the third chapter, I just spotted a typo and didn't know if you wanted them at this stage or not :). I feel I'm a little early in the story for any particularly good comments other than 'I want to know what _happens_' ;)

Oh no, no yet. This is the first draft and I have to do some edits and shuffling around and I think at least one further chapter and a rewritten scene (I've got a file full of notes to myself that I was making as I went along) before I get anywhere near needing proofing, but thank you. :)

I'm glad it's piqued your curiosity!
