I was on this site about three years ago boldly proclaiming that I hadn't been here in three years and that I was finally going to buckle down and produce some valid work... I think it is fairly self-evident that that has not happened.

What has happened is that I have finished university and settled into a job that, while fairly monotonous, allows plenty of scope for a) daydreaming and b) working on loose plot threads. So, instead of running myself into the ground at a time when I am supposed to be 'taking it easy' and 'getting better', I am going to use this opportunity to work on my writing. Traditionally, I always favoured poetry for public consumption, but given that my poetic muse seems to have deserted me for now, I will probably be focussing on the novels that I am trying to write. I obviously won't be putting up entire novels, but perhaps teaser chapters or excerpts to gauge interest and encourage constructive criticism.

Anyway, for now, I am going to try and be active on the site that I so loved when I joined eight years ago (EIGHT?!), and then I promise I will get down to some busy work
