Graeme, my friend, you have a natural talent for enriching narratives with depth and beauty. I believe that if you dedicated yourself to creating speculative fiction or magical realism, your first work would knock it out of the park. At worst, it would be a unique gem and an example of an upcoming novelist obviously destined for future success.

Strong alternatives might be writing mythological epics or fantasy - you could harness your poetic voice. I bet it would blow people away if you told them your process was poem first, story inspired by that poem second!

Your introspective nature could also bend to truly wicked purpose - you'd excel at grounding terror in character empathy, should you deign to turn this talent to horror!

WOW - that’s a vote of confidence! I’m cooking up something that’s going to be an epic poem first.. (That’s just how my mind works). BUT a novelisation could be exciting…

Thanks TBH it’s always something I’ve been a bit afraid of.

I’ve long wished to collaborate on something big. This is also a possibility, if you’re interested!
