This month I’m taking part in “National Blog Posting Month” - also known as NaBloPoMo. There’s a website hosted at Ning, and a lot of bloggers taking part… only you would never know - even if you visited the damn website.

That being said, over recent weeksI’ve discovered a number of fantastic writers online, and am having a blast sharing their stories, thoughts and opinions when I get the chance.
