Have you ever tried to pick up a spoon full of cooked spaghetti and meatballs? Did you get it all the way to your mouth, all noodles in tact? If you did, you are far more talented than I (me?).

Ideas are like slippery noodles. I think that time it like that too. So when a person grows up saying, "I love to write. I want to be a writer!" and then blinks only to find 43 years have been used up and it hasn't happened yet, well that's the slippery noodle syndrome. I have it.

So this membership on FanStory is me tossing that dratted spoon into the sink and pointedly winding slippery strands of spaghetti around the tines of a fork in an effort to force myself to write. I really do like to write. Of course this doesn't necessarily mean I'm good at it.

This could get messy! ...but then, everything I do gets messy.
Heave ho fork!
