2009 - End of Year Summary

Well it was a fairly exciting year as far as my writing goes. A fair bit happened, I wrote two books, one crime novel and one non-fiction, had 4 plays performed, had several articles published and even had time to read out 2 poems at an open mic night in Oxford.

Like I said, fairly exciting!

At time of posting I am also half way through a Creative Writing course in Oxford (to continue until the end of June 2010 and perhaps beyond...) which by and large seems to be having a positive effect on my writing!

So, here goes nothing... In order of how it happened, rather than how I felt about it, this is 2009 in all its techno-glory:

• Ordinary Monsters - Crime novel (published by YWO)
• Creating Hollywood-Style Movies with Adobe Premiere Elements 7 - Non-fiction computer book (Published by Peachpit)
• Dream On - (audio play - 50 mins) - Produced by The Wireless Theatre company
• Various video editing articles published on-line by Peachpit press
• The Surprise - (Short play - 10 mins) - Performed at the Oxford Playhouse Circle bar
• Reasons to Rhyme - (One act play - 25 mins) - Performed by Pilot-light Theatre at the Half Moon pub, Herne Hill
• Performed 2 poems at an open mic night in Oxford
• T42 - (Short Play - 10 mins) - Performed at the Oxford Playhouse Circle bar

And finally, relaunched my website - www.paulekert.com - to include links to all the stuff above. Check it out if you are interested. Some of my short stories there as well.

And that's it. Doesn't really seem like much when it is compressed like this into one piece of solid timeline fact!

My thanks to all the many people who were involved in or helped with the creative process in one way or another. You know who you are...
