Stuff I've Done For Other People

You may notice that this blog isn't updated as regularly as it used to be.  WELL SORRY I'VE WRITTEN THREE (count 'em), THREE NOVELS THIS YEAR WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME??

*breathes*....

Anyway, this year I actually got some writing work for proper websites with more than twelve regular readers. Aint that nice?  And that's why I've written on this one a bit less.  I've still got plenty of things to say that no respectable blog would publish in even their lowest moments, so don't worry about that.  But here's a little list of things of mine other sites have put out.

For WhatCulture.com
A nerdy entertainment website that posts news about movies, TV, sport and video games.  Naturally I write about Doctor Who and comic book movies...

- Doctor Who: 5 Reasons Blink is the Modern Day An Unearthly Child
I'm proud of this because it was published on the weekend of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary, and being a comparison of the first ever episode and the most acclaimed episode of the revived series, it's almost relevant to the celebrations.

- Why Thor: The Dark World is the cinematic Game of Thrones
Something I was expecting to notice about the aforementioned comic book movie and fantasy TV series, given that they share the same director and high concentration of nerd-lore.

For BiographyUK
A history blog run by a friend of mine, which specialises in bitesize articles about British historical celebrities.  I pitch an article to her whenever I walk past a blue plaque or interesting little landmark that takes my fancy.

- John Snow: Physician (1813 - 1858)
Discovered that cholera is a waterborne disease and lived in Soho

- Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
Poet, husband of Mary and science nerd.

- Kitty Jay (c.18th Century)
A poor, disgraced farmhand whose grave lies on a crossroads in Dartmoor
