About Myself:

Accountant, 55, aspiring writer. Married 2 children, 2 cats (not married to the cats but they think they rule the roost). See gallery for more pictures - George was starting to demand appearance money so I relegated him to the background.......teach him to be sassy!

Ok, so we're pals again.........Hey George, see the nice reader? Kill !!!!!!

Started writing in July 2007 and found that I couldn't stop. Manuscripts now comprise 3 finished novels (60,000; 85,000; 65,000 words respectively) one in progress (currently 20,000), 2 compilations of short stories (total 100,000 words), and some messing around with poetry, although I must confess that it's not my favourite.

That started as limericks on birthday and anniversary cards and now I can't get off the hook.

If anyone knows of a cure............I may be interested (although not JUST yet).

Sorry about the deletions, but they now form part of my first publishd work on www.lulu.com called "Selected Short Stories - Volume 1" please check it out.....

Chasing
Sound lesson of the futility of chasing the unattainable, when all that is needed is well withing the grasp if only we knew where to see it.

Woweee!
This was awesome. The pace was cripplingly fast and the plot held me right to the end where you finally twisted the knife.

Would NOT like to live inside your imagination.

First rate horror.

This really oput's everything into context and the insight is sharp and incisive.

Insightful
Elroy, this was marvellous. I would never have thought of a story like this, and if I owned a hat I'd take it off to you.

Reeled with laughter at the images you portayed, and the mirror seemed to take on a personality all of its own.

Great piece of insight.

How Absolutely Odd
Re Zombie Punk's comment........may I suggest that you look for a VERY similar set of stories running in sequential chapters.

May be doing you a disservice, but this has been done before, and VERY recently.

Title article: Empty Dish
Date: 2008-08-27 01:45:17

Warmth
Warm and fuzzy with a twist in the tail (sorry!).

Beautifully scripted and I could visualise all of the action. Had a similar relationship with my misic teacher's dog before I went away to college (a collie cross).

The symbiosis is awesome when this kind of thing happens. There's no bitterness, no temper tantrums and it's all giving on both sides.

Impressive writing and thanks for the "heads up".

Silence
My lips are soiled.

Phil

Title article: I Am
Date: 2008-08-26 09:14:21

Explanation
This was a story not to be taken too seriously, and was more in response to requests received from a certain quarter who shall remain nameless........

If it didn't grab the attention then so be it, but it was kind of fun to write, and a little light relief's no bad thing.

However, ALL critique is gratefully received and will only serve to enhance any writer's skill (or lack of).

Title article: INTERNATIONALE RELATIONS (C,1971)

Top Stuff
Really liked the flow of the five line stanza form.

Very emotional piece, and pulled at the heart strings.

Won't do a "Chaabuk" on you Stephen.

I just simply liked it.

Rare
Very rare that something like this shows up.

You've taken idiosyncracy to a new level, and I found myself laughing out loud.

Great piece.

Phil

Name	Entry
Lisa (antheerr) England	Created On: 08/21/2008 12:07:32 I guess I'd better sign your guest book and say "Hi Dad". You know what I think about your writing - I like most of them (except for the one about the spiders you horrid man!), and the ones I don't are just not my cup of tea rather than there being anything wrong with them. I like the ones I already know best, like the wine one, or the ones about George and Poppy and co, but that's because I already know the stories, but enjoy the way you tell them. Anyway, keep going with it Dad - you need to start making some money though to pay for my lifestyle!!! Lisa
Max Booth III (Zombie Punk)	Created On: 08/08/2008 03:56:33 Wow. You been reading all my stories and now I feel bad I've haven't read many of yours. That gonna change, though. Just read your 'Layers of Innocence' and that was brilliant. You are truely a talented writer, my friend. I think I might start on your 'Stick' series next. Oh yeah, you can keep your cats. I'm allergic to them, they make me go blind. Keep well, Max Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): That's great because George says his passport is out of date anyway. Phil
Christian Wright (The 13th) WICKLOW	Created On: 08/06/2008 14:41:53 so youre from Derbyshire.Lived in Utoxeter, thats not too far from you is it.Anyway write on. Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): No, just up the road along the A50 - about half an hour. Phil
Nathan Weaver (onyxdragon) Missouri	Created On: 08/06/2008 07:59:46 I must say, I like Lulu as well. I haven't published on it, yet, though. I'm trying to finish writing and polishing a collection of short stories. I really like the way Lulu works. It's very nice. I'll have to go check your collection on Lulu out. Write on.
r.e.potter (r.e.potter) lost in my mind	Created On: 07/30/2008 05:50:21 Sit back and breath...popping stories out faster then the Spears sisters. I read fast, but not THAT fast. Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): In take 'em while they're there........no fresh ideas for a day or so, but got a stock af three or four to keep me going. Phil
David Neve (Tarhead Mugwump) hill country, texas	Created On: 07/27/2008 13:29:36 i read the disaster recovery story, and typically, after reading a story i bolt over to the writer's profile before i comment. just in case it's a young'un - i don't want to tip any tea kettles... if i like the writer's style, i usually look to see if he/she has other stories - and i hope for one or two. jeez - you have many... now i have a ton of reading to do. write on! Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Errrrm..........there's fewer than there used to be. Deleted 21 and published them in a book on Lulu.com so you won't see them here any more. Had Potter grumbling at me for speed writing, but when the ideas are there, it's a shame to waste them. Thought one up last week just as I was dropping off to sleep, and for the life of me I can't remember what it was now. Must keep pen and pad by the bedside in future. Damocles was one like that, but this time it stuck until morning. Phil
Xena Elvoniche (Xena) yorshire bratts	Created On: 07/16/2008 12:19:08 sir fillip neale i christen thee... Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Muchos gracias mi amiga.
Amie Kerlin (lemon) the litterbox	Created On: 07/12/2008 11:12:35 HEY! I take it you and George are back to being chummy. Glad to see it. =] Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Kind of, yes. This was also a warning to Punk that if he wants my cat he gonna have ta come and get him............. Daughter took this one....you have to be quick with George otherwise he's apt to inspect the camera for himself. He's myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cat and nooooooooobody can have him.....he's not even for rent. Meooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Amie Kerlin (lemon) somewhere in time	Created On: 07/03/2008 09:46:55 Hi! I just realized I haven't signed your guestbook yet so here we go. you might want to update your profile so it's not saying that the picture of you is George the cat lol Feedback from Philip Neale (philneale1952): Now look, you've only got my word for it that the picture really isn't me..............agter all, I am a story teller. Will get it swapped pretty damn quick guv'nor... Phil (Or george) - he's pretty cool though (Geoge, not me............although....)
Jessie Masoner (Behind_the_Mask) The Universe	Created On: 07/01/2008 13:59:33 Well first off I would like to say that your mystery stories are some of the best if not the best I have ever read. Second, Hi.
