Paragraphs
Paragraphs is where I keep the things I write, the websites I build and the systems I am trying to make useful. Some are established. Others are still working out why they are here.
Writing Desk
Fiction, personal writing, essays, satire and pieces still finding their shape.
Lab
Websites, SEO, digital projects, AI-assisted work and practical experiments.
Plugins
Life Archive and Fiction Archive tools built for ordinary WordPress sites.
Choose a direction
The work is different, but it tends to begin in much the same way: a sentence, a problem or an idea that looks more manageable before I start.
01
The Writing Desk brings together fiction at different lengths, personal pieces, essays, monologues and satire. Some work is published. Some is being revised. Some is still only a note with unreasonable confidence.
02
The Lab is where I build and improve websites, test SEO ideas, use AI where it earns its keep and decide whether a project needs more work or a dignified end.
03
The plugin section contains Life Archive and Fiction Archive: WordPress systems for keeping personal history, developing memoir and family records, and organising fiction from first note to finished manuscript.
A few things taking shape
The list changes. That is partly because the projects develop and partly because I am easily distracted by a promising domain name.
Minute Tales keeps stories very small. Sentences is for flash fiction and short stories. Narratives gives longer work, extracts and developing books more room.
Cruisez, Cruisegle, Newsgle, Shrd and the SEO sites are practical projects with different jobs. They are also places to test structure, content and whether an idea survives contact with a browser.
Life Archive keeps memories and family history in their real chronology. Fiction Archive provides a structured place to write, plan, revise and publish fiction inside WordPress.
Work in progress
Paragraphs contains finished work, active projects, awkward experiments and ideas that may quietly disappear. I would rather show that honestly than polish every rough edge until it looks like a company brochure.
The common thread is simple enough: I write things, build things and try to work out which ones deserve to continue.
Somewhere for writing, building and finding out whether an idea is worth keeping. That should be enough to keep me occupied.
