We're very new to this 'blog' thing, so we're entirely sure either!
To begin with we'd like people to e-mail us their work, and then we'll post it on the page ourselves. That way we can control how much gets posted on there. We want people to get as much out of the page as possible so having to scroll through hundreds of pages everytime isn' more…
Glad my comments were helpful, you actually DID sound American, with the few exceptions I pointed out. Feel free to use me to proof-read for Americanisms, I was educated both in English and American systems so feel I am bilingual! (Throw a little German in there and I'm tri!)

Hey James! Well, it's been a while since I've seen any of your writing - I would not have known it was you! How you've grown! Ha ha. Can I ask, what have you been reading? I know you get heavily influenced by what you are reading at the time so I am curious to know who has inspired this style. I really enjoyed reading it - I didn't know where it wa more…
