"What do you write estella? General area no need to out yourself "
Quite a few things... I write as part of my job (research/policy/campaigns and service specs) but I also write short stories, poetry and essentially write to reflect, learn, gain insight and work through an issue.
More introspective, somewhat bleak/dark and always character driven (people’s motives and inner landscapes fascinate me), heartache more than happy endings though.
I’ve had a recurring dream about a book for a long time that is more a coming of age story, but still haven’t attempted to pull it into form because I know it’s an actual book not a short story and it scares me somewhat! It’s like art, I’m a happy doodler but I’m not good enough for more. Short stories allow me to enjoy the process without feeling overly pretentious. They work as little reminders for me of thoughts and ideas, and lessons. |

"If you google publish a short story on kindle you will get one and a quarter million links. One or two should be helpful !"
That is right, you get many results on how to do it. I havent published mine yet on amazon, but I will do it soon, it will be fun  |

"Had a few short stories published on Lush Stories and currently have a half written one on my laptop but have a bit of writers block as I haven't touched it in a few weeks. "
Writer's block you say? Would I get wanker's cramp if I read it |

"I'd love to read your work estella. Weirdly my opus also came in a dream! Over 30 years ago (I'm still working on it). "
Awww thank you. They’re really not good enough for public consumption!! |

Typical writers self consciousness, I'm the same. That said 3 friends have bitten the bullet in last couple years and are now published, one has won a prize. |
