At The Water's Edge

At The Water's Edge: Clues Introduction

I started Looking For Clues at the beginning of the year (2012) and it wasn't long before I came to a grinding halt. It should have been easy, after all it was just telling the truth about a particular journey that I had embarked on. However there's heaviness about it that I don't like. Not long after starting it, it became a hard slog and turgid. Of anything I write, I feel Looking For Clues should have a lightness to it, though to be fair some of the times that it describes were quite heavy.


Part of the problem I think is just trying forge ahead (there's that motoring again) in a chronological order. To try and help resolve this I've created this section, where I can post things that I think are relevant without having to put them in any order or context.
