I'm a terrible flitter. You know those workplace 'team type', learner style profiling exercises...Belbin, Honey & Mumford, those things? They always identify me as someone who needs a Completer/Finisher to work with. One of those people who gets buzzed about new ideas, trying things out, seeing what happens...but is rubbish at finishing things off.  Just thought I'd warn you.

My writing is, therefore, brief. One of my works here is trying to be more - I'm trying to make myself stick with something and turn it into more than a short story, because I have such an idea of how it should be but no patience to back it up. Most of the things I post on here will be short, and because that style suits me and my pathetic attention span, I work hard on the words themselves, their economy and depth. I like to think I'm very emotionally attuned, and trying to encapsulate the maximum feeling into the minimum vocabulary turns me RIGHT on. It's fun. I also occasionally use CAPS which is a bad habit, and am a big fan of the stylistic lower case capital.

Anyhoo, I love writing, have little time in which to do it, and this place will hopefully develop into a collection of pieces (mostly small pieces) that reflect me and what I love.
