Hallo to all. I'm new here, feeling the isolation of writing a bit since I moved from 'that London' to a smaller town. It meant I also left the band I was in, which was kind of the opposite of sitting in a room producing work alone, and made me work with others, perform, and, to be honest, sit in cars for rather long distances wondering if I was getting too old for 'that kind of thing'.
I'm usually working on at least one novel and a few short stories at any one time, in between procrastinating. I've had one novel published, and one (20K-word) 'novelette' but am always looking out to get more out there. I write 'literary fiction', for want of a better description, but I'm not into producing anything arty. I think writing should tell a story in the first instance, and not be unrhymed poetry. Having said that, I think that kind of writing can indeed work, if you're in the mood for it.
I work as a freelance writer and editor - not in creative fields, so I just about have enough separation between work and writing.
