Me and Small Stories

After a week of deliberation following the tenth anniversary of Track of the Week I've decided that it's the right time to retire that feature. There will be a replacement though, Small Stories.

Why Small Stories? At the back end of last year I went to a talk by the broadcaster/biographer/cellist Dr. Kate Kennedy. It was about life-writing - biographies/autobiographies and the various challenges that brings. Style came up too and the fact that the "small stories" covered by blogging and micro-blogging was another aspect of autobiographical writing.

I realised that that's exactly what I'd been doing for almost ten years with Track of the Week. Writing autobiographical small stories.

So farewell Track of the Week, hello Small Stories. 

I'm not going to lie to you, it's practically the same - this just gives me the option to skip the occasional week or even write more than once a week. Or even write something not associated with a song. Until I get fed up or think of another different format I suppose.

Enjoy! Or not, I'm not here to tell you what to do. I appreciate you reading at all (if you do.) And I don't mind if you don't, it's your life.
