The Great Outdoors
Holding hands, the two young women made their way to the park. Yuzuko couldn’t believe her eyes; not a person in sight. On a glorious day like this, why was it so desserted, Yuzuko asked herself feeling tingling sensations between her legs. She had always been a woman with pride. Her black wavy hair touched her shoulders, her floral dress brought her petite figure to life. Her beige leather handbag looked twice her weight. She lived her life as the ‘It’ girl, the one who had it all. Of all the treasures she had from a priviliged upbringing, Sakura was by her her favourite treasure in the universe.

We’re Fed Up With Excuses
In 600 words, I want to do my bit for the #blacklivesmatter movement. If you are at a protest with a sign saying how you’re entitled to a haircut and how you want to buy the most expensive dress in the store, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Have a think, is your haircut worth more than somebody’s life? Sometimes I find it hard to believe these protesters anout Covid. Sometimes I believe they were hired actors to try and drown out the real problems. There are three big pandemics that I know are three big pandemics happening right now; Covid19, Climate Change and Ignorance. Ignorance comes in all colours and will be the greatest destroyer of them all. Because not enough has been done on climate change and Covid, it’s already too late. Businesses gone bust. Poverty is everywhere and figures of authority are using this to abuse their power in ways more obvious than before. These monsters had no shame kneeling on somebody’s neck taking pleasure in their suffering. They give tear gas out like cotton candy whilst insisting that they are all doing the mighty work of God. Ignorance is the reason why so many are dying right now. And it’s not just the virus, it’s hatred.

Lady Gaga's albums ranked
Lady Gaga has always been an interesting character. Whether she's cosplaying as Kermit the Frog or wearing raw meat, her fashion always finds a way to stand out from the crowd. She reminds me of a lot of the older artists like David Bowie and Madonna, who continually reinvented themselves. I like a lot of Lady Gaga's music because it's unpredictable. Yes, I always expect that there's going to be some cheap electronic beats somewhere, but she always finds a way to surprise me. She's a pop star in her own right, but she's crossover a lot of genres, and even a lot of it is subtle. The more I listen to it, the more influences I can hear from other styles.

Novel Extract: Yuzuko's Quest #1
My Grandfather is the greatest man alive. He may not have six abs or jet black hair anymore, but he has a beautiful soul. He gives life to objects. If you said fifty years ago that you were going to start a company on robotic welfare, the world would laugh at you. Grandpa did that and now he laughs with the world.

My Favourite Album From Each Year (1970-1979)
I feel like I'm starting from scratch here with this list because I started with the 80s and made my way through to the present decade with my favourite albums from each year from each decade. A lot of my favourite bands started in the 80s, 90s and later. But the more I got into researching and picking up recommendations and scavaging through my music collections, the more I found that I do like a lot of 70s music. I may not have been born in the 70s, but I felt really nostalgic listening to a lot of the 70s music because I know it was the music that my parents liked and music that I was exposed to when I was younger.

Baptism of Fire by Stephen Argyle
How I came across it? I was in a writers class at one of my local art centres in Banbury and the author, Stephen Argyle was one of the people who I met there. He is a wheelchair user and is a resident of a Leonard Cheshire home near my flat. He was left blind and parylized after an accident when he was nine, but it hasn’t stopped his passion for writing. It’s very admirable and I believe that disabled people deserve to have a voice in the world of fiction.

Lightmaker by Kevin Elliot
How I came across it? I met the author, Kevin Elliott through some writing groups in Oxford. Either through the Oxford NaNoWriMo or Oxford Writers Circle first, but I’ve met him on several occasions. He’s a very nice chap and he’s recently given me some really good advice when I read one of my pieces out to the Oxford Writers Circle recently. Try to mix long and short sentences together and show more instead of tell.

The 004 vs. COVID19
We're living in very strange times. We are seeing the best and worst of humanity. With the uncertainties of the global lockdown, it is very heartwarming to see that content creators are still going out of their way to create more content to boost the morale like my good friends, The 004 are doing with their music video to Nothing I Can't Achieve titled on Youtube as 30 countries united against #COVID19.

My Favourite Album From Each Year (2000-2009)
I've been having a lot of fun writing these articles about my favourite albums from the decades. I started with the 80s and made my way up, but after this, I'm going to go back and do the 70s and 80s as well. At first I thought I would be unable to do the 70s and 60s because they were well before my time, but I remembered that Queen is my favourite band from the 70s era so I think I can do it. For now, I will continue through the new millennium and go back and discover some amazing albums.

My Favourite Album From Each Year (2010-2019)
A lot of people say that music isn't as good as it used to be. It may be true. A lot of my favourite albums are from earlier decades, but that doesn't mean that this millennium hasn't got any decent music. There's been loads of great music still coming out, there are just different ways of finding it. I've found a lot of my favourite music through Youtube, Spotify and other online sites. Again, you can tell some of my favourite bands on this list. Depeche Mode has had a huge presence in my favourite albums from each decade. I've been asked what my favourite albums from the 60s and 70s are. My friend helped me with some 70s album but think I will need to go back and listen to some more albums from the 60s before I can make one with the 60s but I think it will be fun because I will get to discover some more great stuff.

My Favourite Album From Each Year (1990-1999)
My favourite albums from the 80s was quite a simple list to make. Those who have seen it can tell that I’m a big fan of Kate Bush and Depeche Mode. My list for the 90s is a lot more varied featuring some more genres and artists. This was also quite a hard list to make and I had to edit it several times as I got some of the years wrong. There’s been loads of good albums released in the 90s that I’m fond off. I love the atmosphere and the nostalgia towards them helps as well since I was born and bred in the 90s.
