That Fate Them Bore - story 7
Yes, I've been away for a while again, due to heaps of work, some internet troubles and recently a stomach bug - but happily none of the above has stopped me from writing. Here's a fairly short piece (still unbeta'd) that I hope you'll enjoy reading.

(Untitled)
I’m borrowing this from lbilover and hope to see more people joining in. I’d really love to talk more about writing, how it works and what it means and all that - but I sort of needed a prompt to get started on it.

not a forest but a tree
Yes, this post is about an ancient tree - one of the most magnificent and fascinating trees I’ve ever seen, and I’m happy to say that I spent several hours of my most recent birthday in its shade. It’s a huge black pine that manages to be a forest all by itself, a whole world of trees, and the longer you look at it, the less you want to look at ( Read more... )
