Where to start?







I get the drift from the A215 Creative writing forum that having a blog is A GOOD THING. I don't know but am willing to try anything that makes me write. So I need to start producing current pieces, as I'm pretty tired of my old stuff which has been in the pipeline for so long. I think that I need a fresh outlook so this is my attempt. The intention is to post something every day, no matter how small or inconsequential. That is the intention. Whether I do is another matter. Any way here is a picture of the most magical bookshop I've ever been in. It's in Paris, near Notre Dame and is called Shakespeare & Co. Tumbling books, steep narrow staircases, tight aisles, battered comfy chairs to sit and browse, sunlight spilling into the upstairs reading room and a cute cupboard for would be writers to bang out their masterpieces on an old red typewriter (or tripewriter as my mother used to call it).
