RHYS TRIMBLE: Swansea Automatic

“I had never heard that bell strike before”

—the clocktower, Bangor, Gwynedd

How to start something? with my own handwriting—a wooden pen—gone for the cheaper book—not the moleskine—the two pound one [not weight] with 5 sections—orange, pink, yellow, green, blue—with a struck bell, with a departure.

This is a practical creative writing manual—I will take all the advice I’m given—I advise myself to choose a springbound book—to be free, to use my own handwriting, to use a wooden pen.

“we live here now” —I say, the coffee shop, puds laughs.

“a bulky book I should fill up with stuff”

some characters—me, Sveinn, Beatrice (say) & Annwn.

“SHALL I GO DO MY SHOPPING?!”

“do you want this kind of one—coconut?”

“OKOK Ie”

“to the tobacco shop to get cherry flavour.”

interruptions

Sveinn ‘cause of Sveinn-Sea—a destination—possible etymology of Swansea, Viking.
