Hello everyone,
I was here briefly a few years ago, and you gave me a great selection of literary fiction to read. I think my account has been deleted in the interim, and meanwhile rather too much life has happened to me so I probably look more haggared than in this profile picture.
I'm longing to get back to writing fiction, and maybe one day get something into publishable shape. There are perhaps too many Edinburgh writers, but there can't be many with a combination of interests that includes church history and music, forestry, entomology, wild swimming, and Walter Scott.
I recently had an idea for a character and a story arc, and rediscovered an old idea for a novel which I'd forgotten, which I still like, and which it would fit into beautifully, so perhaps it's time to chip away at it again. The premise is a local history conference, with a selection of eccentric characters, researching a selection of equally eccentric historical characters.
It all seems dauntingly big and complicated, when I have a full-time job and various extra-curricular activities all which demand a good deal of brainpower. Where do I begin, when novel-writing time is spare, weary half hours?
This website seems dauntingly complicated too, but I hope you will inspire me.
