Boundless space of mere simplicity: moment in life; where the air inside becomes a heart that asks for a...

A New Beginning To be grounded, footed, safely on a firm foundation; built to withstand: The performance of a lifetime. While out running, outlast, outside the box; that breaks porcelain: a high-quality made in China, and relive experience, attachment to one's drive. All obstacles removed: removing hardships, think about it; as a spectrum unfolding, a patchwork along the way. The meeting point. Even the horizon knows its boundaries, alignment,...

C.J.Cooke is a Creative Writing tutor at the University of Glasgow. We’re back to that debate about whether you can teach creative writing? No matter. I read the debut novel of a Creative Writing tutor from the same university a few years back. It was, as you’d expect, proficient but dead on the page.
