The Zip Code Challenge # 3 finally arrives! (Well, almost...)

It’s been a little while since I last announced and launched another of The Zip Code challenges connected to my my "Moon Crater"TM novel and it’s sort of been tied up with me having to become more web-wise this year.. As regular readers will know, I’ve been using a mix of blog pages and Google Page builders to create some of the web pages of my Official Writing Website, but soon Google are doing away with their Google Pages so in anticipation of the inevitable disappearance of my Zip Code Challenge page (built with GPages) I’m temporarily suspending the page and will resurrect it later in the year – never fear, though, it will come back bigger and bolder than before…




The hunt WILL continue though with Challenge # 3 entitled “Everybody’s Earth” (can you spot an ongoing theme here that may be running within the 10 puzzle challenges that make up The Zip Code? #1 was called "Molten Mercury" and # 2 was "Volcanic Venus"!)

Anyway, the Code will continue on a grander scale throughout 2010, so keep an eagle-eye out, Special Agents, and just as it disappears from the Radio icon on my main website, it will reappear SOON via a “weirdly wordy” object on my Official Homepage – (wobble board SFX!) “Can you tell what it is yet?!”

Incidentally, (there’s always “an incidentally”, with my posts, right?!) I’m becoming a big fan of modern update of The X-Files (well, it IS, isn’t it?!) called Fringe, and one clever ongoing “puzzle game” they have on that show is flashing up “glyphs” at ad breaks or between important scenes that spell out a clue to that particular week’s episode – you can only crack the code if you have the glyphs cipher though… (a bit like the Zip Code, really!)

I want to tell you about the village where I grew up. This isn't one of those rose-tinted perspectives, years later, looking back and dreamily half-remembering how it was. It's only in the last year that I've moved away from there and it still has its problems of wandering gangs of kids, drugs on street corners and fast cars just looking for the next slow pedestrian to put a foot onto the road. But I lived there for most of my young life, growing up with that sort of thing surrounding me, and I still love the place. You'll always remember the good AND the bad things of any place you go to, but part of truly appreciating somewhere I think is seeing past the crap that seems determined to ruin the great things in this world. And so that's how I intend to remember Westerhope.

# “Have you seen me lately? I was out on the radio starting to change” - Counting Crows Have you ever listened to a podcast? “Audio scribbling” is something I’ve dabbled with over the past few years here and there  but for the past decade or so I’ve been listening to various podcasts – some put together by fans of films franchises like Star Wars and others made by established authors who often use the sound waves to give advice about stepping into the writing world .
