Five years... it's been five years since I last posted anything at all here. I had just given the site a facelift, there was another novel - Emily - in the pipeline, and there was every intention of pursuing my writing career. So what happened? I think the opening sentence…

I have been procrastinating long enough. It seems like forever since I really added any new posts to the site, or for that matter sat my arse down at a desk and got writing. I have finally found some time to do just that. So what does that mean precisely?…

Alistair Langston
