New Wor(l)ds.

Its that time of year when I compile my annual overview of my work and distribute it amongst my peers. Comprised of short fictional narrative, poems and even short scripts its often a bag of rich diversity. I am never short of material. I have known other would-be writers who spend many a moon complaining that they can't think of anything to write about, or spend an inordinate amount of time on one single idea. This is a problem I've never encountered personally. I have untold quantities of stories and poem ideas in numerous notebooks and have only to open any of them to find a half-decent story idea with which to begin a new novella or play idea.

Now I am blogging I am faced with the question as to whether or not to publish any of my stories here. I recently blogged some poems but my stories are much longer and it is always a concern how the text will read in a single long column. Looking around at other blogs I see there are other writers doing it but I struggled to read to the end of their short stories. Perhaps it is a question of quality - a good read is a good read isn't it?

I printed my first collection of short stories and poetry in June 1997 using works photocopier. Over the years I have stayed with the same A4 format which I find is a comfortable size.
