I thought my days on this blog site were numbered, but after much technical beavering and some ingenious ideas put to me by my ever resourceful dad, I can start writing again.
The writing process is going slowly at the moment and rejections are still rather too frequent. I'm of the opinion, however, that work not sold is work improved. It's amazing how positive the brain can be when you want it to be. Those thoughts of giving up the game and taking up painting or something are not long held, thankfully, and no matter how many editors give it the old "thanks but no thanks," I'll get there in the end.
A quick note to anybody who has ever written a letter to the editor of 'The Times'. They don't tell you if they are going to publish whatever words of wisdom you've bothered to e-mail to them. Bare this in mind or you may realise you made it into print - as in my sorry case - a mere three years after the event.
