Wow,

So I have an itch to scratch.

I seem to be wondering more and more what Puppy Stabbings is doing now, and Corbin down in Castlebay Down. 

I do know the former needs badly editing. That's job number 1.

Sequal coming July. (I hope)

James (WestcliffWriter)

Ps, it's good to be back!

I wondered whether you would be back.  What kept you?

Up until a week ago I had nothing in my mind that said to come back Timmy. But...and I know this is going to sound vain, but I promise you I'm not hahaha...I actually read my own stories back to back and it got me thinking.... I miss this!

So here I am. 2 problems to solve first. I have no PC anymore only console and tablet so I need to buy a cheap laptop from Currys and start my journey again. The second is, can I find the time to write again? Maybe. But Ricky my edited is not around anymore and because my mind spills faster than I can type I get in to all sorts of trouble with miss spelling and incorrect grammar. We'll see, but I've given myself a deadline of July to complete a sequel either on PFS or TBfCD.

I left with the message that I had nothing left to tell. Funny what 5 years away can do. 

By the way, I've had to create a new account (that's obvious I know) this is because he email address for Westcliffwriter is no longer active so I was in a bit of a pickle. Can that be deleted or retired?

I have merged the old account into the new. There is an anomaly that it says you only have made two posts. All prior posts are present.

We have folk willing to edit. I doubt they will approach you, but if you ask one may volunteer

All stories are already migrated to your new pen name and your email address is now the new one
