Hello once more, old friends.

First of all, an apology. I am sorry to say that I have neglected this blog for too long now.

I have been somewhat remiss over the past two years, scribbling away ideas, poems, short stories, and plans for longer works (and a novel), but not posting anything on here. The primary reason for this abject absence is probably that the last couple of years have been a time of immense change and turmoil, of sad ends and fresh beginnings, of love and of loss.

In fact, it is the latter that brings me here once more. I have recently suffered the most agonising heartbreak I hope ever to face, and my coping mechanism has been to turn to the blank page and release my most pressing and intimate feelings onto paper. For very obvious reasons, the majority of this rather personal material will remain in the pages of my notebook, but it has spurred me on to return to my all too neglected blog, as part of a concerted push to improve my creative output.

So, once again,  here goes, I'll dive in, pen in hand, dipping pink toes in that inky-blue sand.
