The Turkey City Lexicon is a manual tailored for science fiction writing workshops produced during the birth of cyber punk in Texas in the '70s. 🦃😁🦃

You may find it useful ... or your stories may be dead before they’ve even hit the floor. 🦃😳🦃

I am putting together a version for Singapore and South East Asian writers.

Can you think of any suggested additions, especially those relating to Singapore & South East Asian stories? 🤪🤓🛀

Happy Birthday Darling

Happy Birthday to the best Wife and Mum in the whole universe & beyond.

Naka Meguro

The joys of existence this evening but not necessarily all at once:

• cheese & mushroom roti prata
• Reading Chekhov's Gooseberries
• Mucking about with Sophia
• Litening to A Moon Shaped Pool 
• Chocolate

Happy Birthday

The Ragged Wood

O hurry where by water among the trees
The delicate-stepping stag and his lady sigh,
When they have but looked upon their images -
Would none had ever loved but you and I!

Or have you heard that sliding silver-shoed
Pale silver-proud queen-woman of the sky,
When the sun looked out of his golden hood? -
O that none ever loved but you and I!

O hurty to the ragged wood, for there
I will drive all those lovers out and cry -
O my share of the world, O yellow hair!
No one has ever loved but you and I.

William Butler Yeats
