Now, just to be a bit clearer, this blog won’t be all rainbows and butterflies. Life doesn’t work that way. But what it will stress is that quintconsequentials can make all the difference. Like a sunburst on a cloudy day, they have an inexplicable beauty which evades any efforts to capture it with words, but is experienced by people every day. Nevertheless, I will endeavour to capture these polished grains of reality as the heartbeat of this blog.
And of course, I won’t just be writing about reality, either. There will be most likely be a piece of flash fiction posted within the next week, and possibly even something about my current projects. Those of you who know my writing will have heard of the Alabaster & Nash Chartered Detective Agency, I’m sure.
Like most University students, I live in a bit of a bubble where current affairs are concerned, but if a news story piques my interest then it may well earn a place on this blog. Similarly, now and then I may post about whatever my magpie mind is attracted to. A decorative way of feathering my new electronic nest, or so I hope.
I’d also like to say thank you to those of you who have read my first entry and given me feedback; in particular, those of you who were talking to me as The Spark descended… You know who you are.
