Boob Pencil: Autobiographical

Monday, July 18, 2005

Here is my potted autobiography (and here is the shorter version).

Here are some extracts from a diary I kept when I was 15 / 16.

And below is a list of all the autobiographical novel extracts published in June and July 2005. I'm keeping this post as a point of reference.

The Noices

The Birthday Present

Night Tripping

The Garage

About Me

Name: Clare Sudbery

Location: Manchester, GB

I’m a software engineer, I’ve just written my second novel, and I can hold seventeen pencils under each breast. During my 37 years on this planet I’ve been a Scrabble fanatic, a trapeze artist, a maths and philosophy graduate, a cleaner, a revolutionary socialist, a hedonist, a lesbian vegetarian women-only workers’ co-op member and a meat-eating heterosexual computer programmer. I live in inner city Manchester, in a decrepit house with bits of old ship in the cellar, a dismembered shop dummy in the garden, a child on the sofa and a journalist in the bed. I once went to trapeze lessons for a whole year. I loved being upside down and in the sky, but I wasn’t very good at it. I was never really a trapeze artist. An interview with me. Me Me Me Me Me.
