got my poe book, i've read one of the short stories in it and i'm not sure that it's the tone i want to be aiming for. i'll need to see how the story develops.

it's got a title now :) which i find helps me to kind of find the space that a story exists in, although interestingly the short stuff i write tends to swim out from ideas, and my experience of writing 'it's like trying to breathe glass' (like the quotation marks? i do!) is that the title helped shape the story in the beginning. hopefully this ghost-story-love-line thing has a bit more of a focus that it won't need the guiding hand of the title.

oh.

lightning without thunder.

i kind of like it :)
