Already I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve done anything on here.

Like most I started with lofty intentions and then, of course, life gets in the way and the time just disappears.  I don’t think I even have anything particularly interesting to blame this lack of attention on – just stuff (and, shamefully, a bit of Big Brother.  I like the human experiment ok? Don’t judge).

I have a couple of ideas for short stories but I don’t know where to start really.  I can call up particular scenes in my mind but I don’t know how to translate them onto the page.  If I was more talented I might draw them but I’ve never been able to draw anything that even vaguely resembles my mental picture.

Instead I try to conjure it with words, but at the moment I can’t make that happen beyond a sentence or two.  Yes I know, I’ve read the advice that I just need to sit and write.  Even if it’s truly awful, having words to work with is better than nothing at all.

Perhaps tomorrow will be the day…
