I know it’s only been a few days since I set up my little story-blog, but it’s proving enjoyable past all expectations. Well, to me, that is. I’ve got some great feedback already, and many thanks to those who’ve subscribed / commented / helped with typos. The best thing, though, is the “Freeedoooomm!” to quote Mel Gibson. No longer bound by 1 or 2 K words! I don’t have to lop and cut like Procrustes fitting people into his bed. The joy, the joy!

I expect I’ll re-read and find (or someone will point out to me) plenty of places that should have been cut out anyway. But still, I don’t have to think of new scenarios every single day. The relief! Currently in the lap of luxury, purring, and churning, padding like a contented cat on the keyboard.

Naturally, there’s still a string of competitions I haven’t written for yet, there’s anthology submissions un-plotted, and of course the eternal Old Novel in the background, forever collecting dust, un-edited but still blocking the way for new ones. I feel I might finally be moving, though.

If you feel stuck in a rut, try something new. Sounds obvious once it's said, doesn’t it?
