I didn't sleep last night which means I wasn't in the best frame of mind for a Writing day. So colour me shocked when I actually wrote 1500 words! I haven't written any fiction for a few months and this came completely out of the blue - not sure if it's any good but maybe the muse is back?!

Passing the torch on to simplyn2deep and wishing you well for the beginning of the week!
