Dusting Off The Cobwebs

~

Yes, it's about time I updated a few things around here. On the one hand, I've been debating (with myself,) whether I want to continue with this blogging malarky and if so, on what basis? One thing's for certain, I don't think I can get away with one post a year! So, if I'm going to do it, I should do it properly - ie regularly - or not at all.

The same is true of writing. Again, I've been having some serious discussions (again, with myself - and at this point, you're probably wondering whether you even want to tune into anything I might have to say...) The main question has been, "Do I want to write? If so, then why the hell am I not writing?" OK, so that's two questions - I think I'm allowed two questions? The truth is, I have written, amongst other things, a novel which is still very much in a fledgling state. In other words, it needs editing. I am at the editing-thinking-rethinking stage and whichever way you look at it, it doesn't feel very much like writing; it's so much harder. I miss bashing off thousands of words, but there comes a point when the splodge of words you have in front of you needs careful sculpting into something (hopefully) worth reading. So there you have it. I'm not writing (much) at the moment because I'm sculpting splodges of words...
