New stuff.

I have been working on two new themes for two different competitions. I enjoy it when there's something specific to think about. Although it's nice to choose a fitting poem or story for a competition it's also good to have the stimulus of a theme set by the competition organizers. The first theme was a 'Dear John' letter which gives a lot of scope and the other was 'land'. this also has a wide interpretation. I got two prose pieces done on the 'land' theme. Both very different from each other. One was a re-work of an existing piece and the second one was completely from scratch. It was a good brain-stretching exercise. Now I shall let them stew a bit before deciding whether to enter them into the competitions.
