I have come to a new stage in my life. I was only just beginning to realise it when I wrote my last entry. It goes far beyond my eyes being now opened about my writing and how much more I can achieve - I now see further for the potential of my self expression in many forms and my goals and dreams seem far less impossible, and new ones are emerging.

I am going to wipe this account clean and only put back work that is worth displaying to the world. I will be keeping some of my work and my prize-winning story Wipe Off the Dust will remain, but the rest of my stories will have to go through a thorough screening test and many will be rewritten. It will be a long task but I think a good one for me to reassert myself as a writer. University has many pressures and while I know my ability for both story-telling and writing has been good, many of the works and stories I have submitted here were for the purpose to fill up page space and probably many of them, in reality, are unfinished attempts because Uni and previously High School took up so much of my mental space.

Now I will free my mind and look at my stories with new eyes and enter a new age - and the stories I present will be only ones I consider worth reading.

This page will be one of quality over quantity - I won't be posting any more of my DSW exercises either - if I do they'll be journal entries, not deviations.
