Prologue

My very first venture into the strange world of Blogging. Not really sure what to expect. But here goes.

I guess I really want to write about... well, writing. Having completed my first short story for a creative writing course held at work, my mind is now ablaze (not literally, although I do smell burning sometimes) with ideas - new ones, old ones, things that just pop into my head or that something that I've seen/overheard in public. I have written stories before but the last one I penned (or more accurately typed) was somewhat, how shall we say, 'racy'... yes, I think I'll leave it at that. It's likely not for most tastes, not unless you like the idea of two men getting friendly.

The story for the course is called 'Shadow', a short supernatural story about a teenage boy who discovers something very unsettling down a dark alley. The alley and the boy are based on reality, the former being in my home town of Abingdon and the latter being (loosely) based on myself. The actual supernatural element didn't happen to me, but I did venture down that dark alley in on a perverse whim of frightening myself.

I'm sure this blog will eventually encompass other stuff too, such as my photography, travels, various odd art projects. Like I say, I'll give it a go and see where it leads. By the way, the title of the blog I came up with on the spur of the moment ages ago. I think I'll keep it as most of the time the noise is in my head... it just never seems to find the way out.

Now, how do I get this published...
