Theory & Stuff

Some of it stems from an MPhil I took in writing (by portfolio), the rest was generated by workshops I’ve held some of this resides in the file Journal. I’ve decided to share (like anyone would willingly want to share homework with me) the documents with all-comers. Feel free to download it. If you quote it, reference me. Please don’t cheat yourself by plagiarizing me, write your own goddamn essay! If nothing else, the critical paper shows what can be got away with (I’m not a natural essayist, I had to adapt writing of it to sync with the way my brain works – never do it visa versa, it won’t work, though you do have to compromise somewhere).
