Finally...

I actually managed to sit down and write something late last night - and not just 'something', but a whole short story from start to finish. Not that it was up to much *grins* but I was beginning to despair of ever writing more than a paragraph at a time. I realised that it had been so long since I genuinely wrote anything that I was getting stale, so I tried the old challenge of picking three words at random from a dictionary and writing a story that includes them all. I ended up with 'hurdle', 'solve' and 'fennel'. o.O But I managed to invent something, and it even made sense!!

Here's a snippet from the start, with the fennel. The other words come later, honestly. *grins*
