Out with the old…

As we leave this year behind I have only just managed to post an entry into the Global Writers’ monthly competition for December. 

It was done literally at the ‘eleventh hour’. 

Tomorrow I’ll post Chapter 2 of the autobiography and start work on new short stories for at least three January competitions. 

I’m not a ‘resolution’ person normally, but I’ve decided in order to discipline my efforts Iwill make some pledges regarding my writing.  To make sure I keep to them I intend to list them as a post tomorrow.

Hello and welcome!

I am presently convalescing and therefore have the opportunity of a few days to kick-start my blog.  Three days ago I had my gallbladder removed so I’m not moving around too quickly.  The holes made during the operation may have been small but it feels as if the offending organ put up a fight against it’s eviction. 

So that it doesn’t come across as just another gush of personal blurb I’ve decided to share some of my efforts.  I would appreciate any and all comments on my writing.  As a novice at this particular idea (the blog), I’ve set it up with a link to my poetry, included some short stories and introduced my autobiography with the first chapter in it’s entirety. 

As things stand I want to embrace the blog as a means of self-expression, a marketing tool and a social link.  If you’re a writer and you happen by, please leave me your thoughts on what you find here and a link to your own work. 

Please take a look around, enjoy and comment.     Tom
