The Joys and Terrors of Writing Non-Fiction

August 20, 2020 By GJ Hughes

Last year, I had a bold idea. It was to write a book that would help new writers make sense of the whole ‘writer’s platform’ thing. I’ve done quite a lot of work with internet marketing campaigns for clients in Australia, Singapore and Japan and thought that I could approach this as an internet marketing […]

The Loneliness of the Writer

April 10, 2019 By GJ Hughes

Writing is supposedly a glamorous occupation. When I tell people I write for a living the first response is usually ‘Oh! What do you write?’. If the answer to the age old question is ‘I’m an electrician’, who among us would enthusiastically follow up with ‘Oh! What do you specialise in? Control wiring, data cabling? […]

January 10, 2020 By GJ Hughes

My writing mojo has gone, burnt out in the red hot rage of a real, madmaxian apocalypse which has heralded 2020 in a pall of ash, smoke and furious, endless, fire.

MURAKAMI MAN - review of Colourless Tskuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

Let’s talk about Murakami. I know. This is an unfashionable view. Especially by someone who came to understand the Master through the The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, IQ84 and Kafka on the Shore. The Wind Up Bird Chronicles was a tour de force of magic realism/surrealism. It was my gateway drug to Murakami… …But after […]

Tiny Twitter Tantrums

July 15, 2019 By GJ Hughes

Right now, we’re in the golden age of television writing and a lot of it is on tiny twitter screens. There are angry twitter baby writers everywhere and nowhere was their rage more perfectly focused than the recent Game of Thrones finale. The twitter baby writers were very unhappy with what the actual writers had […]

Black Mirror Needs a Little Windex

June 17, 2019 By GJ Hughes

Let me get it out from the start. I’m a Black Mirror geek. I’ve loved most of it. I’ve loved the Dystopian and slightly awry technology. I even loved Bandersnatch after watching 5 endings with no real surprises. So I patiently waited for season 5… …and here we are and my first impression is …wtf? […]
