Just to let everyone know, I've taken the advice above and started writing my first short story.

Have written about 4000 words over a couple of days and finding the process challenging in places.

Interestingly, as I write, the story seems to grow and the characters involved seem to develop. I'm managing to get some dialogue down too.

I think that if anyone was to read it now, they would say it's terrible. However, it's only the first draft of my first every story.

Will see how it goes. smile

Unfortunately, no. It does have robotic things in though. smile

It really is tripe, but it's the first thing I've written so I'm seeing how it goes. smile
