Embedded Files
I have written a lot of things over my career.
It probably started when I was at school writing a monthly magazine printed on a hand turned Roneo machine.
Once teaching, it progressed to my producing a monthly children's paper.
It became more serious with articles for education magazines, including a monthly column, editing a teachers' computer magazine, writing a chapter for a book for teachers from Scholastic publications and contributing a paper for a NATO publication.
Since taking early retirement and becoming involved with anything to do with Barrett's I was asked to produce help leaflets which culminated in my magnus opus - the Down With Acid encyclopaedia.
Someone asked me once to write my autobiography as my history of my dealings with acid reflux may be helpful.
I have started here, Refluxer, but haven't done much with it recently to be honest:
Recently I've started trying my hand at writing fiction which is harder as I don't have a timeline and I am having to make up stories.
I had what I consider a great idea for Temporter but it should have remained a short story. Expanding it to a complete book was probably a mistake. I followed the adage that the book would write itself. It didn't exactly but threw up many more ideas that could each have been short stories in their own right. I have expanded those ideas and adapted the narrative to be two follow on books: Trans-temporter and Tele-temporter but they are a bit turgid and I have difficulty ending the last of the trilogy. If I am get bored of writing it, I'm sure readers would give up. Perhaps any future fiction writing will be a compilation of short stories.
Another avenue is online publishing. My slowly evolving "Refluxer" recounting parts of my life highighting specific episodes, is being produced online: Refluxer.
Another short online publication is "Inexplicable - Tales of the Unexplained" which is available here: Inexplicable

Update November 2025: I stopped work on this for a while as my creative interests were led to my art work and my Homo Fractalis project - which will take a long time so I have done the worst thing, having two different projects on-going resulting in two unfinished projects.
I haven't forgotten this and over 50% is finished but I've really discovered through myTemporter project that I'm not a long story writer. I believe my original version of Temporter was far better but it was only a short story. I decided to take the advice to let the story lead me to where it wanted to go but I keep thinking up bits to add which would actually make better stand alone short stories themselves so my next writing project may be to pen a colection of short stories.
