I hate first posts. This may not be my first try at a first post but they never seem to get any easier. I never know what to put. So…

…Hi! I’m Carole and I’m doing my best to have a life and become a writer all at the same time. Which is a bit of a challenge. I graduated from Bath Spa University in 2009 with a BA(Hons) in Creative Writing, which I like to think qualifies me as, at the very least, an ‘almost writer’.

I’ve tried blogging before but never been very good at it and generally let them fade away into oblivion and hope they never resurface. Alt. Fiction 2010 inspired me to change this and to create a blog that actually does something for me in a positive manner. Like help me meet people like you, who also like to read or write or provide critical comments or share writing…or whatever it is that you do. Also it might help someone notice me because I am here. Really really here. *waves madly* At some point I would like to be ‘somewhere’ instead of ‘here’ and hopefully this is a tiny shuffle in the right direction.

I’m now going to stop waffling and rescue my incredibly late dinner from the oven as I forgot it and now suspect it is more closely resembling charcoal than food…
