For a number of years I have been composing a novel of EPIC proportions but have now had to concede that the story is not the type of what EPICs are made of so I am having to break it down into a series of short stories and flash fiction episodes to try and retain the reader’s attention.
I’m also having a job in retaining the writer’s attention because it is, deliberately, an unremittingly miserable story about the unremittingly miserable life of an unremittingly miserable man and takes place ovewr a pewriod of 200 years or so (the main character is a ‘vampire’! If you like vampire stories you will hate this one, if you hate vampire stories you will like this one!)
Or I might go easy on myself and change it to story to one about fluffy bunnies playing in fields of green candy by a lemonade fountain!
