February Stars

It feels as though I've had no time whatsoever to write over the space of the past few months, but then I look at my works in progress and realise that that can't be the case, as I have at least three or four short pieces that are just waiting for me to spend a good few hours on them in order to be finished and most of them were begun between December and today.

Being able to finally sit down and see one through to the finish felt like a minor triumph this afternoon, kind of confirming that I both still had the motivation and the mind for writing. And while I will apologise firstly for the amount of time it's taken me to post anything new around here and secondly for the fact that I am well aware this story doesn't exactly break new ground in terms of subject matter, I hope you will allow me to gather myself a little before I embark on anything dangerous and controversial.

Another great feeling was to see that this first post of 2016 already has almost ten favourites and the pleasant comments that it inspired some familiar names to leave beneath. Thank you very much for those kind words and your undoubted patience to still be on the lookout for something with my name on it after all this time!
