Some of you may have noticed a link to a site www.markusrandall.com in the right hand nav.

Some of you may have even surfed and had a nose around that site.

What is it?
It's an online diary for a single male nurse in need of a good seeing to.

But, in case you had not realised, it's not real.

It's made up.

Really?
By me in fact.

Ah, I see
Now it is very very daft, I mean draft - I am literally just writing stuff and putting it up there unedited, which means that the style bounces around a somewhat and it's not very tight in terms of structure of character development etc.

So why are you doing it then?
But I thought that if I did not publish (sic) it right away I'd never jot anything down at all - so ti gives me the impetus to try a few things out and see if they work, I can find my voice etc. It also means I don't spent forever and a day rewriting the same few paras, which is always the danger otherwise if ti just sits on my PC never seen by anyone but me. Posting it provides some motivation to plough through it a bit...

And why are you telling me all of this?
One thing I would really value though is some input from you guys on what you think of it - warts and all. I'm going to be writing lots more this week for it and probably going back and re-editing some of the old stuff to try and make it work a bit better.

And as I say any contributions from you as to whether it's worth my while working on, would be much appreciated!

Ta!
