Hi everyone. So if David Cameron (sorry, Lord Cameron) can make an unexpected return to politics having left it behind seven years ago, then I think it's OK for me to return to blogging after having left it behind seven months ago. Actually it was six months ago but then I've never let the truth get in the way of a good analogy. Go back into politics? I'd rather go back into the EU. Anyway, I'm back with a new look blog and u nlike my previous posts here, the future ones won't be covering art, design and crafting. I'm in the process of setting up a new place to blog about those, which leaves this one for "writing" related issues. So I'll be covering topics which I hope will be of interest to both new and established writers, as well as including more random things such as the occasional film or book review and opinion pieces (rants!) on subjects that are dear to my heart but which I hope will also appeal to a wider audience.
