Welcome

This blog is just to record my experience of writing a story. That is something I have wanted to do all my life. I guess it is now or never.

I am just doing it for fun. I do not really intend to publish it. Mind you, I shall give that a try if I ever get it finished :).

The blog is only intended for me to keep a diary of my thoughts and for some of my close friends, especially those at the Richmond Writers' Circle (bless them for their patience).

If you have found your way here by accident, comments are welcome - especially the kind ones.

If you are, like me, attempting to write your first novel, please share the ups and downs.

Steampunk - the art of Victorian Futurism - Jay Strongman


Knowing I am labouring over my story my delightful friend Sabine bought me "Steampunk - the art of Victorian Futurism" by Jay Strongman. I really enjoyed it but it did make me think. As a child I did read most of the antecedents of the Steampunk genre. And I did know that there was such a genre. I had NO IDEA though that it was so well developed and widespread. Y said I'd have to write fast to catch up. But what can I do to make more than a tiny addition to all the really clever things that have preceded me? I shall just have to plod on.
