in an attempt to break the so-called writer's block, i have resurrected the blerg. while updates may be infrequent and the content questionable, if i at least try to write often, something may indeed happen.

if you have read any of the other areas of this site, you'll notice that the stories are all first person, rather melancholy, reflections on relationships and such. while i think that's a perfectly valid thing, when they're all collected together like this it makes me wonder why my output has been so one-eyed. in recent times i have tried to write in the third person, and often those stories are fun and ramble on for pages, but i suddenly lose interest. i may soon post one or some of them in an attempt to force myself to finish something!

i find myself quite captivated by an image or a moment, and less by great story arcs or intricate plot. i'm often quite surprised to find, reading over something, that there was a plot in there, as it ususally felt as though i was stumbling around in the dark! i suppose that's why i write in a fragmented style most of the time, as it captures those 'moments'. i'm not sure if it's frustrating to read - is it? do let me know.

i suppose that's what the story
