The Alchemy: A guide to gentle productivity in your writing
The Alchemy is about writing a book - a work of fiction of whatever kind - when you thought you could not. This is a book for everyone, but with a particular eye on those who are tired and lacking in confidence, who are disabled, chronically ill or perhaps carers for a loved one who would struggle without them. Essentially, this has been me for some time now and that is how I know about productivity and challenging what it is.
After 10 years, my son is getting the mental health care he needs - no child should have to wait that long
It took mother Anna Vaught a decade to find the right mental health care and support for her son (Getty Images) This week, after a decade of false starts and dead ends, we were able to evolve the beginning of a long term plan of mental health care and support for a kind, brilliant young person – one of my three sons.
Chauvo-Feminism -
By Anna Vaught. Sam Mills, Chauvo-Feminism: On Sex, Power and #MeToo (The Indigo Press, 2021) ‘A chauvo-feminist is the abusive man who hides in plain sight. Aware that his misogyny would not be tolerated in the current climate, conscious that it could end in the destruction of his reputation and career, he constructs a persona, a screen on smoke and mirrors.’ ‘Everyone I know says they’ve met a chauvo-feminist at some point during the past few years,’ says Sam Mills in this excellent book.
3:AM in Lockdown 40: Anna Vaught -
Launching in Lockdown By Anna Vaught. Who would be compliant except the person who gave up? Who could accept? – Saving Lucia (Chapter Two) I love a chat. I am shy and introverted, but I love a chat.
SAVING LUCIA - Anna Vaught;
Synopsis How would it be if four lunatics went on a tremendous adventure, reshaping their pasts and futures as they went, including killing Mussolini? What if one of those people were a fascinating, forgotten aristocratic assassin and the others a fellow life co-patient, James Joyce's daughter Lucia, another the first psychoanalysis patient, known to history simply as 'Anna O,' and finally 19th Century Paris's Queen of the Hysterics, Blanche Wittmann? That would be extraordinary, wouldn't it?
Some thoughts on 'Terminal Teatime' (from The Shadow Booth: Vol. 4)
Some thoughts on 'Terminal Teatime' (from The Shadow Booth: Vol. 4) Some thoughts on 'Terminal Teatime' (from The Shadow Booth: Vol. 4) by Anna Vaught The Shadow Booth: Vol. 4, .) ‘Oh sweetheart. You don’t need decorum; you’ll be wanting dirt under your fingernails. Because in dirt and tree root integuments under fingernails and just a whiff of fetid stuff, now that is a better place to look. Yes. Dirt is more beautiful than decorum.’ Ah this strange little story.
INTRODUCING my new fiction writing critique, proofing and editing services
Have you written a story, novella or novella and you’d appreciate someone else’s opinion on how you might improve it? I should love to help with that. Let me read, ponder and provide an objective critique of your work. I will look at voice, language, plot, structure and style. I will also look VERY closely (and several times) at your manuscript for spelling and grammatical errors, missing words – because we all miss those in our own work and, err, editors miss them too.
'Feasting; Fasting', 'Cave Venus et Stellas' and a note on 'The Shadow Babies'
'FEASTING; FASTING', 'CAVE VENUS ET STELLAS' AND A NOTE ON 'THE SHADOW BABIES' by Anna Vaught These two (short) short stories are included in Volume 2 of The Shadow Booth , and here’s a little about what I was thinking when I wrote them. You may already have seen my memoir piece ‘The Shadow Babies’ on this site; here - and aren’t you glad it’s not you having to face these terrifying sawdust people whose crimes go hidden and whose auspice is deflected by graciousness?
Laughter in the Dark
Laughter in the Dark Tommy Hazard, Takeway Morbid Books, 122pp, £7.99, ISBN 9780995645028 reviewed by Anna Vaught This is a tiny book. A tiny red book. It’s described as a novella, but feels pleasingly like a monologue, or something in an oral tradition. As an object, I liked the book’s attention to detail: ‘Cover design and layout dedicated to Reclam, Universal Bibliothek’. Something ‘fuck you’ and something of the scholar.
Memoir: The Shadow Babies
THE SHADOW BABIES by Anna Vaught In this cold house on a graceful, desolate street there were three rocking chairs, Where three tiny forms sat formally, just so and waiting. The chairs had black frames, rush seats; they were immaculate, still and unweighted down. No one, she said, was to rush at or hassle these chairs and they sat silent with their lovely occupants: three still infants. At least that was what I thought when I first looked in the formal front room.
