Hi C

Yep, you've honed in on what I suspect is a weakness also. Therewas sort of
not enough words to describe the bastardry of the wind, but in the end, too
many.

I try to write most days - end up with about 180 - 200 pieces a year, and
yes a lot of it is just about the things I experience in day to day life -
little things that get disproportionate significance, perhaps, just from the
fact of being noticed and written, rather than due to any inherent merit.
Someone suggested a while back that I was treating my life as a kind of
'poetic'. Probably truish, though a bit grandiose for what it amounts to.

I'll post some more shortly - thanks for the support.

Cheers,

Frank
