It has to be said that it has not been created by choice, (thank you Calum!) however I do feel that perhaps it is time to take advantage of such technologies to aid the creative process. <br />
<br />
Not much to say currently apart from never before have I read a book that has given me nightmares. Have just finished reading Margaret Atwood's, <i>The Year of the Flood </i>and personally thought it was excellent and it has given me a different perspective on Sci-fi/futuristic writing. There were certain elements about the book that jarred with me, however she has the ability to observe human traits which will never change and certainly captures a sense of aloneness and vulnerability. Clearly it sparked something in my sub-concious as for the last two nights I have been trying to avoid catching 'the waterless flood' (or pandemic plague if you haven't read the book) in my dreams. <br />

I'll leave it there as not used to this whole blogging malarkey, but <i>The Year of the Flood </i>is well worth a read.tamhollis87http://www.blogger.com/profile/11429497815750275706noreply@blogger.com0
