Low-Flying Aircraft - JG Ballard. Sweaty, dirty, post-tech shorts - surprisingly not all featuring pilots (but most). Favourite one was about time travel television

A Room of One’s Own - Virginia Woolf. Amazed I’ve gone so long without this essential reading. I’m guessing this is where Shakespeare’s Sister got their name.

Meander Spiral Explode - Jane Alison. Wonderful exploration of narrative structure with examples that show novels don’t have to have a hero’s journey to work

I’d never seen this before and it was funny but not half as funny as the NYE crowd were finding it. Still nice trip to the cinema on the last day of the year. Maybe should have had a sign to warn me about Ackroyd’s Jamaican ‘costume’ 🫣

Wild and colourful Godard rom-com. Couldn’t get the warning sign outside out of my head until I saw the scene it was referring to and it was indeed very racist.

Becoming a Writer - Dorothea Brande. Considering this is nearly a hundred years old, it was actually quite enjoyable and certainly encouraging advice on the writer’s life, if a bit dated.
