41 Places

At the moment I'm spending most of my time wandering around Brighton, going up to people and demanding, "What are you up to?" It's a great to have the licence to do that.
 
I'm still in the process of harvesting stories. I'm most of the way there now, but it gets harder towards the end, trying to find stories that say something different. The frustrating ones are the ones where you find two people who have a fantastic story to tell, but then say you can't use it. Usually for quite reasonable reasons. Like the couple I met at the Clocktower who were having an affair...

The thing I'm discovering so far is that different geographies have different stories. It's maybe no big surprise that the closer you get to the sea, the more extreme the stories become.

Anyway, this is also by way of saying that I'm neglecting the usual Un-Made-Up business. By the end of March things should become a little easier...

MORE! Send me MORE! Un-MADE-Up eats stories. If you've enjoyed the work published here on Un-Made-Up, maybe you'd like to add to this collection. If you have a true story that you would like to submit to Un-Made-Up please send it to me. The stories don't have to have a punchline, they don't have to be dramatic, they don't have to be funny, they don't have to make a point, they don't even have to be autobiographical; they must be under 1,000 words long, they must tell a story of some sort - however small - and above all they must, of course, be true.

If you are an illustrator or photographer who would like to add your take to one of the stories, please get in touch with me, William Shaw..
