Raw Stories

This week's epsiode, which features a re-told folk tale, was a difficult one. Partly because life got in the way, and partly just because writing, and the act of sharing your writing is, well...quite hard, sometimes. This was definitely one of those times. Normal services will, I hope, resume shortly. Email the podcast at rawstoriespodcast@gmail.com or find us on Twitter at @rawstoriespod. See you in a fortnight!

It's another modern day fairytale this week, where Mrs Gruff meets a troll who doesn't behave in quite the way she expects him to.  Follow the podcast on Twitter @rawstoriespod or email rawstoriespodcast@gmail.com.  See you in a fortnight!

After a longer than  planned break over Christmas (sorry about that...) we're back with a new story this week which, depending on your point of view, may or may not have an ending. Email the podcast at rawstoriespodcast@gmail.com or get in touch via Twitter @rawstoriespod. See you in a fortnight!

...Her Incredible Invention Which Defied All Logic and Yet Still No-one Noticed. Which is ridiculously long title, and one which I came up with long before I knew I'd have to deal with the issue of fitting it into a podcast title... Follow the podcast on Twitter at @rawstoriespod, or email rawstoriespodcast@gmail.com.  See you in (or just under, probably, becuase of Christmas) a fortnight!

The difference between plot and story, the difficulty of endings, and the novelty of writing a story where you already know what is going to happen. Follow the podcat on twitter @rawstoriespod or email rawstoriespodcast@gmail.com. See you in a fortnight!

I'm delighted to be bringing you a special episode this week, which features a story I contributed to Volume 2 of Stories for Homes. The first volume of this charity anthology raised over £3000 for Shelter...we're hoping this one will raise even more.

A broken heart, a lot of whiskey and some good advice from Neil Gaiman were what led to this week's story.
