Yep, it's my writer's blog

Firstly, what I want to know is: 'What are the chances of anything coming from MARS, Sir?' (it's a generic 'Sir')

Secondly, erm...so...I'm going on a bender - bought a packet of fags and a bottle of bourbon. I'm a writer, now. It's what we do. (well, it'll do for starters) (hey, not really. I don't smoke...yet. It's called fiction)

Thirdly, I think it would be beneficial for me to get a pseudonym.That way I can say what I like without any comeback.
I thought: 'Bob Smith.'
I have some other names in mind, but they're just too plain silly to mention. Besides, there wouldn't be much point in my having an alias if I told people what it was, would there.

I recently completed an academic research project (MPhil) about working-class women’s autobiographies. Now I’m writing my own...

To cut a long story short:

My dad and both my grandads were coal miners. I was born in Coalville. I belong on this website.
I returned to education as a mature student: got a couple of A-levels, went to university; got a BA, an MA, a PhD, and an MPhil. It was not as easy as that. It was not as quick as that. But I did.
I have spent most of my adult-life studying something. Generally something to do with English literature: mainly something to do with working-class women. My MA is about Women and God – inspired by and emotively written through my experiences as a pupil at Catholic primary and secondary schools. My PhD and MPhil projects are about working-class women writers – inspired and emotively written through my experiences as a working-class woman in a materialistic and class-ridden society. When I was an undergraduate at university, there wasn’t a module about working-class writing. There just wasn't. I didn’t study any working-class texts. I just didn’t. I once gave a research paper about my PhD (ie: talking about my work) and I remember someone laughingly said, ‘Was there a recession in the 1980s? I must have missed that.’ That just about sums it up.
I have had no working-class peers. I found them in my reading and writing. In my reading and writing I found myself.

Welcome to my blog.
It's basically about me.It’s called ‘My Travel Blog’ (because I’m time travelling through my memories of the past). See what I did there?
