I decided to document my process of writing The Merry Lads of Ayr for Distil Showcase 2016. I made the decision at relatively short notice to go ahead with the piece so I didn’t take too much time to think about it. It is now finished and I’ve stopped thinking about it! Below are the blogs I wrote about my stages of writing.
