My writing
A personal blog, such as this one, is an opportunity to share quick thoughts. Sometimes, but only sometimes, more considered writing may creep in but that is likely to be more of the exception than the rule. I think people who blog love the immediacy of the format: think, write, print. I don't see blogging as a threat to serious writing which, by definition, involves research, rigorous standards of verification, redrafting, proofing and professional editors. Here are some links to my published articles (print and online) that aspire to be pieces of writing.

Key Stage - a 1995 report from a teachers' training day at the newly opened London theatre, The Globe.
Moved by devastation - an article about my anti-war writing competition that commemorated the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
