Back, After a Busy Week

Well, it's been ages since I have blogged anything, owing mainly to the fact that I have been busy, and, when I haven't been busy, lethargic. Oh well.

I have, however, been writing at a good pace - Tuesday night I sat down and hand wrote (yes - remember that, with pen and paper?) a short story based loosely on the characters and events of Little Red Riding Hood, along with a few other characters, and fairy tales and mythology mixed in.

It was great fun, and I would say that it wrote itself (in that I didn't have to think about it or puzzle it out: it came of its own accord) except for the fac that my hand was incredibly sore after writing about 15 A4 pages. This might not seem like a lot, but it's the equivalent of about 4000-5000 words for me, and it's been a long time since I hand wrote that much. I am in the process of typing it out, now, but I am glad that it is finished. It's given impetus to actually complete other things, which is nice.

This arvo I had an idea for a kinda satirical Private Eye story: you know, the hard-bitten devil-may-care sorta guy. Well, I have a notion for a bummed out PI who buys a second-hand fridge, which contains more than he bargained for. The trail leads him back through a string of grisly murders, culminating in a Lovecraftian ending. Ah, sweet smell of ideas.

Have a great weekend folks.
