The entirety of the world’s online media is failing to generate new material at the rate needed to satisfy Mr. Pindish’s modest surfing appetite, according to reliable sources. Tech correspondents, futurologists, film reviewers – and even editors of long-running whimsical web comics – have come under heavy fire today as a close friend of the man described their efforts as “just not good enough.” Continue reading “BREAKING NEWS: Internet “not keeping up with” Abe Pindish”

Reviews vs. Reflections
[I have only just realised, after writing this whole post, that this is really just a PR plug for a podcast I’m involved in, ‘The Proof is in the Podcast’. Feel free to just go straight to the chitter-chatter first.]
There are clearly many forms of writing which have become well established over time: The Novel, The Short Story, The Poem etc. We know these forms, so we know what to expect e.g. we know that a short story can probably be finished whilst travelling on The District Line between Earl’s Court and Tower Hill – with a twist hopefully kicking in somewhere near Monument.
