    I am currently putting together a collection of my best poems that I've composed over the past forty years. I'm going to self-publish the collection.
    Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist.

    I think that she is quite pure, a little bit unconsious.

    Yes But she is becoming more and more consious with passing time. She isn`t aware many thing because she was brought up in a very closed , isolated place.

    I'm editing my latest play while writing short stories for a writers group filled with mean spirited old women who care about nothing but content. Man I just read an excellent one act play by a guy who is currently a member of a writers group in Keswick and I WAS THERE IN MARCH!!! I could have met him. As they say here (and I'm sure elsewhere) Spitting chips...

    As ever, I've got several writing projects on the go. Mostly I work on my non-fiction book, with interspersed bouts of novel-writing. On top of that, I've got two short stories on the go (one of which is edging dangerously into novella territory) and two poems in the making.

    The title is subect to change, but right now I'm favoring In Greenwood Cemetery and Other Poems, or perhaps simply Selected Poems

    I'm currently working on my 3rd novel in a series of modern urban private detective books. The first 2 were published, generally favorable reviews but only modest sales. That's life.

    I also write short stories as the spirit moves me (the muse is a vixen!). My latest, "Cat Food", is posted in the short story section.

    And I write book reviews, mostly mystery novels, for competition (on an award committee) and for an online mystery site.

    I'm now retired from my engineering consulting career so I devote myself full time to my writing, about 5 hours per day on average. I've got a wonderful girlfriend and roommate and we get out as much as possible, so my calendar is pretty full.

    Macintosh that sounds very interesting. Five hours a day is more then enough and quite nice to think about it and many well done for publishing
    I was just wondering what is an online mystery site? do you mean a site that specialises in mystery writing?
