Could I?

A while ago a good friend of mine who I'd been talking to about me writing something other than RPG's (she is a published writer which makes 2 I know) and that evening she challenged me to write something there and then (through facebook)

I sat and thought and wrote a short (very) story about a detective (UK) who stumbled into a conspiracy involving faustian deals, police corruption, murder and evil

I could have continued with it but realised that I need to commit to that kind of thing and with all the other stuff I felt I had going on in my life (not important stuff just stuff that took up time) so I couldn't continue and do it justice

now I have different priorities - the RPGing isn't as important as it was a few years ago and I've been branching out into games that don't require as much effort really

Card Games, board games etc

besides I have often thought about writing stuff in Star Trek or Doctor Who

I really enjoy reading Star Trek Novels (Guilty secret I read William Shatners the Return all the way through in one go years ago and that book holds the distinction of being the only book I have ever read twice back to back)

the consistent advice I have seen online and in some books on the subject is if you want to write then you must read vast amounts - which is nice

so hitting the Star Trek Novels re reading Destiny and going on from  there and scribbling any ideas I have down


lets see how this goes
