I'm going to make a proper effort to write my fiction every single day from now on. I got my crit back form J yesterday and reading it, I realised how out of practise I am (especially considering how good his writing is...). It's because, for a year, I've done nothing but much around on the internet and worry that I'm crap, never knowing that with every day I didn't bother doing any writing, my ability faded just that little bit more. Since I started reading 'how to' books I've been worried about my ability so now I'm worse now, than I was two years ago.

I really really want to do this. I really really do. Really. And I am going to write something every day, because it is true that it will only come with practise. I know that, so why haven't I been able to do it until now?

Well, I have finally managed to cough something up, in the way of Fiction. I found this great new site yesterday, a LJ community called 'Ipswitch' which is a comm dedicated to 'the dark side of Doctor Who'. It's Ace (not the companion, the site). I found some lovely fics to read and I've tried to copy the style here. Mine isn't nearly as inherently evil and vile in the manner of an H R Giger painting (how the hell do you put links in? It wouldn't let me do it. Here's the site for an example of a H R Giger painting - http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/giger-baphomet) but it's the best I could come up with in five minutes. It was supposed to be a little writing exercise, which as usual, exploded grotesquely into a fully fledged ficlet. I may expand on it. It depends on how many comments I get. :-)

Don't you worry. You can help me... )

Whoo! I can't believe I've just spent the last five hours updating my blogs and setting up this livejournal account. True...most of it was playing about with the layouts and style, but even so...

I still need to find out how the hell to do a livejournal cut. I remember vauguly how to do it but I can't remember the exact html. I think it's <*lj-cut*><*/lj-cut*> (without the asterick thingys. I'll have a go at that.

Just for the record, by blogspot blog is now my 'professional' site where all my ficiton and reviews and meaningfull posts will be kept. This livejournal blog is going to my diary, where all my stupid rants will be posted, but I will be posting some fiction as well.

Oooh...I need to upload some user pics too. :-)

Yes, I am one of those stupid stupid people who have taken on the task of writing 50,000 words in amonth (thirty days).

I have opened this account mainly because i whinge about my novel way too much on my main blog. This is going to be more a diary sort of thing, and slightly a 'back-up' blog in case my blogspot blog ever goes down.

If you want to read the cringeworthy awfullness that is my novel, you can go here: http://touchwolf-fiction.blogspot.com
