					<description><![CDATA[Brendan Fraser is fantastic. That much is obvious. I&#8217;m really pleased to see his return to Hollywood. I would love to see him in more films. This more-gritty version suits him well, I think. If you&#8217;ve not seen it, The Whale &#8212; an A24 production &#8212; is a stellar film that really deserves a viewing.<a class="more-link" href="http://www.colinfbarnes.com/film-and-books/the-whale-a-heavyweight-film/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">"The Whale &#8211; A Heavyweight Film"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I've always been socially awkward. As a small, young human, I was shy. Everyone seemed so eager to inform me of this as though I didn't know. As though their highlighting the fact would somehow stop me from being me. We are who we are. I don't believe in change; not really. We can pretend; we can find ways to cope, but deep down, in our cells, we are what we are.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s ragged, frayed about the edges. Its eyes are watery and often stare into the distance, focusing on nothing, focusing on everything. It lives in an old shack, immersed in the dark. Somewhere in that gloom, the smell of age and death permeates. Rats crawl unseen below the floorboards. Birds clatter about on the roof<a class="more-link" href="http://www.colinfbarnes.com/thoughts-on-fiction/writing-is-dark-lonely-shack/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">"Writing is a dark lonely shack"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m back, blogging (if it&#8217;s still called that), and social media-ing. Life isn&#8217;t linear. Progress isn&#8217;t always an upward trend. Nothing stays the same. These are all true things, especially regarding my relationship with blogging and social media.
