I really need to write a story or two, but to be honest, I'm scared at the thought of it. Poems and haikus and quotes are my comfort zone at the moment and I just feel like whatever I conjure up will be rubbish. The last time I wrote a story... Well it was many years ago. I'm not exactly sure when. But my feelings now completely contradict with what I really want to do - which is write a novel. I suppose I need to start somewhere. It's just that starting is the hard part. I'm not ready to write a novel yet. I need to do a few short stories first. I worry that my vocabulary won't be up to scratch because I know it was never my strong point. But I need to do this. I do. Break through the barrier. Then, I'm sure, things should start flowing.
I apologise for the above disheartened mumblings, but it's late, and I'm hungry, and I want some cheese on toast.
