Happy Discovery

Ah me. I have been otherwise occupied either with work or with being away on holiday and hence no posts here and, regrettably, no real writing. At least , no writing of fiction.

I did have a happy discovery today though. I was checking to see what was on some old memory sticks and I found a couple of fragments of a stories I started writing long ago and had simply batch copied at some point when clearing off an old laptop. One surprised the hell out of me - pure science fiction and it read really well.  Sadly it was only a page and a half long but I had to check at first to see if it was a cut and paste of someone else's work.

It made my day finding it.

The other was a 20,000 word alternative version of a story I later abandoned. As a story it sucked but the writing looked to me to be OK as a first draft.
