I have not published anything. I'd like to publish the science fiction work
I have been jotting down for a very very long time.

I have reams and reams of long hand. As I transcribe to the computer I think
'That would be better if ' or 'This rambles on a bit do I really need it'
 
but as I write in long hand the story seems to develop, I imagine a situation
and the story seems to flow onto the page. I can examine and edit on a 
computer but not write. There is something about being sprawled on the sofa
in front of the fire with a notebook that is not there sat at a desk using
a keyboard.
