Ok, I have to go and get dressed and head off to my launch - nervous, nervous! Thank you for all your lovely comments. I have decided that as well as reading some flash stories from the book, I will try out some new flashes too tonight, which is a bit of a risk, so we'll see!
In the meantime, I have three of my most dotty and mad flashes up in the Whatnots section (very apt) of the latest issue of the Mad Hatter's review, just in case you have 6.5 minutes to spare. There's music that goes along with it but I haven't manage to play it yet... let me know how it works with the stories. Atonal, dischordant, that would sound about right!
