So why do I need a second one?<br /><br />The answer is, of course, I don't. I just thought it would be fun. I don't need, in the strictest sense of the word, a motorbike, a DVD of Boys Don't Cry or a season ticket to Scunthorpe United, but I'm taking steps to get all three because I think having them would improve the quality of my life.<br /><br />By the same token, I think having a second Livejournal would improve the quality of my life. The Iron-On Line is a place where I can rant about life, politics and football; Travelling Hopefully is going to be somewhere to post updates about the creative things I'm getting up to.<br /><br />This is where all my snippets will go from now on, along with any short stories I want to show off to my friends, recipes I want to share and updates about what interesting creative things I've been up to.<br /><br />Most of this won't be available to the wider public. I want to protect the first rights in anything I might have a chance of selling later. And if I don't think I have a chance of selling it, it's probably too embarrassing to be read by anyone I don't trust. Therefore most of the entries will be friends-only.<br /><br />If you want access, friend this journal and I'll see what I can do about adding you. And if you're not already a friend of the Iron-On Line, check it out now. It's full of my thoughts about same-sex marriage, writing, my personality and football. I'm not good at self-promotion, so have a look and let the entries speak for themselves.
