I'm from Scotland, where everyone owns a castle and pisses whisky. Some of the preceding sentence may contain factual errors.
I've been writing and reading for a long old time. I'm now trying to get into the published material side of things. I'm building up a bank of short story material and finding my legs in the long story side of things..
Hold on..I need shortbread..that's better..now where was I?
Like all good writers I have written a vast amount of stuff and like children's school meals large portions of it remain unfinished.
I write about all sorts, largely drawing my inspiration from real life events, futuristic musings and the dark recess of my mind. I say recess, it's the only recess, it's got to hold everything.
Enjoy the blog once it's up and running with material and please feel free to link me and share your work.

I must try this out .. What a wonderful exercise.
I love how these really short stories seem to work.
They are the spark that ignites the fuse which detonates the explosion of light and sound.
Except it all happens in the reader’s (my) mind.
I don’t know how you feel about your work, but when I write really short it’s like baring my soul. I risk the reader’s interpretation and response to me.
Yeah it can e very exposing, especially with any writing that is unusual or doesn’t constrain to convention.
You nailed the reason I like 6 worders. They are a small puzzle, trying to produce a big bang, sometimes they fail others times its dynamite 🙂
Thanks for the eyes.
‘Psychotic murderer. Adores screaming. Seeks similar.’
This introductory tag line would garner the most views ever for a personals ad out on match.com! 😉
