Humorous dystopian science fiction by M T McGuire
Deleted Scenes
Yay! Deleted scenes. Stuff I enjoyed but have never used or that was/will be used in a different form. I thought I might as well bung them here for you to enjoy so here they are. These aren’t edited at all and will be full of my dyslexic typos in all their … er hem … glory. Never mind.
There are also some elderly posts from when my blog was situated on this site. I have moved that as it became too large to fit.
Enjoy, lovely peps. Just click on the links to read.
Pussy Galore’s Younger Sister …
Yes, that’s right, Bargains Galore! Oh ho ho ho, that was in aid of give a crap joke a home week. Once again, through the wonders of modern science I am speaking to you in my absence, this is getting to be a habit. Sorry about that, but what better day for me to post than on April Fool’s […]
March 31, 2018Real Life is underrated. Using mundane events to fuel your writing mojo.
I’m not here this week, so by the wonders of technology, I am going to post to my blog and give a talk at the same time. So without more ado, here’s a piece outlining my theories about pimping your world to add realism to your writing. _______________________________________________ Pimp your world! Real life can feel like an unwelcome and […]
March 24, 2018Toboggan update, a war story and McMini versus Alexa.
It’s been a busy week this week. McMini is due to go on a school trip which involves two nights away. I have therefore been spending most of the week with a list of required clothing working out which items we have and buying the ones we don’t have. Pretty much all of them. In order to try and train […]

On sledging/tobogganing.
March 4, 2018How not to live number 12: Drains, mailings and finance #IFuckedThisUpSoYouDontHaveTo
Yep there’s a match made in heaven and here’s another how-not-to post from the queen of fuck ups at Spigot Towers. Today’s topics are Drain Rodding, financial prudence and how to alienate just under five thousand potential new members of your mailing list in one fell swoop. Mmmm… bet you can’t wait. OK on we go. Tuesday morning […]
February 24, 2018Round up!
Today through the magic of science I am speaking to you from the past. Yes, once again, as it’s half term, I’m actually typing this up about a week before it will be published. You remember a while back in this post, I was glossing over the miserable hash I’d made of achieving … well, anything much career-wise in […]
February 17, 2018The Pool-eyed Lady
A light one this week, a quick extract from one of my Non fiction things, Setting Tripwires for Granny and other Tall Family Tales. I hope you enjoy it. The Pool-eyed Lady Every family has its ghost story and it seems mine is no exception. Indeed, just to be enthusiastic we have two but they are about the […]
February 10, 2018What do you see when you look at me?
You see a bad mother. Church, if you want to do it, can be a bit of a conundrum with small people. McMini being a bit older now and more susceptible to boredom, it is not so easy to persuade him to come to the Sunday service. Furthermore, when he does, it’s probably no longer appropriate for a young gentleman […]
February 3, 2018Calm in a crisis; elementary burglary for dunderheads …
One of the strange things people tell me often is that I am calm in a crisis. Positively the ice woman, apparently, in my capacity for quick thinking action. Want to know a secret about that? It’s bollocks. Well not wholly bollocks but mostly. Amazingly, I am actually extremely cool-headed in a crisis, I can make calm decisions in the heat of […]
