A.J. Walker

writerer

This is the home to the writing and other worldly bits of A.J. Walker. He is an obscure writerer and occasional human from Liverpool. He sometimes thinks he is surprisingly young for his age. Though it's fair to say he is occasionally delusional.
A.J. Walker used to be an active member of The Poised Pen writing group. He has drifted away from the group when they moved their home away from upstairs at a Liverpool ale pub to downstairs at a restaurant; there was no need for that passive aggressive move, if they’d have asked I’d may have left anyway. I don’t think the group is going anymore. Who know’s it could have gone from strength to strength if it had stayed in a pub (and maybe I’d have written more).

Work by A.J. Walker has featured in sixteen books mostly between 2014 and 2019, many flash fiction pieces. The books are available on that there Amazon site.

He’s part written a couple of novels, both started within the Write a Novel in a Month (NaNoWriMo) challenges. He needs to sort one—or both—of them out so he can say categorically that he’s an author of novels and not just a ‘published’ writer.

The stresses of life—and particularly Multiple Sclerosis—has impacted on writing. It’s difficult to write something creative when your head is full of stuff stopping you develop silly or complicated ideas. Being more used to MS now perhaps…just perhaps.

You may also find some of his writing on flash fiction challenge sites where to some extent he cut his teeth. He gives thanks to Flash Fiction Friday, Angry Hourglass, Microbookends, Microcosms and the FlashDogs. It was a good time.

His first foray into 'epics' (anything over 6000 words) was undertaken under the auspices of 2016's NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). For those not familiar with it, it is an annual online event where people not struggling to grow a moustache for Movember instead use the very same month to construct a book. Yes, a whole book of at least 50,000 words in a single month! First time in and he was lucky enough to get the time to do it; check out the Writerer's Block for November 2016 to see how it went.

And he only went and did it again in 2018 and just managed to finish with over 50k words, you can see the wiggly way it went in the blogs.
