What's known as optimism

24 March 2011 | 0 Comments

If you’ve stumbled upon this blog, you’re clearly lost. But welcome anyway.

This is a site I’ve set up in the event I get the chance to blog on topics other than other people’s novels (i.e. my own).

I have an excellent agent and a completed manuscript (or two), so I figured I should get me a URL. After many years of writing and rejections, even I admire my capacity for optimism!

In the meantime, I love reading, and have two other blogs on which I write about other people’s stories:

– Other Worlds (mostly fantasy, particularly paranomral)

– Great Stories (more literary fare)

You’ll find more to read there…
