Notes & updates

Okay I'm going to ramble on a little here - Some of my stories I started some time ago a few are new. You may wonder why start so many stories without finishing them? Truthfully I hope to finish them all eventually but it goes like this - I start a story get so far and either get stuck, loose interest or life intrudes when I get stuck I tend to leave the story alone for a time and in between I start another story and so it goes the process repeats. I go back to an earlier story and so on and because I like variety as well! So that's a little insight as to how I go about writing my stories. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else it's just the way I tend to work. It can be confusing having so may stories going through your head. In most of my stories the main character is a heroine. I think I choose a female as the hero because I feel more for the heroine than I would a male hero. I am more protective of the character off course some of my stories have male hero's some have both.

Hello All. I'm just reminising a bit here - I want to tell you when I was a lot younger than I am today my younger neices and nephews occassionaly came to stay. They would ask me to tell them bedtime stories. In fact I think I gave them nightmares! Because I would tell them ghost stories They remind me of that time and how lhey liked my stories whenever I see them now.. I also remember when at school during English class standing up and having to make up a ghost story on the fly to tell the rest of the class well it wasn't very good! I did notice though a few of the other kids got engrosed in my telling. I think in some ways this is when my interest in story writing began.
